Green Boy Group, a non-GMO and organic plant-based food ingredients supplier in North America, Europe and Australia has announced it is launching Plant-Dairy Protein, a new functional plant-based protein developed for the plant-based dairy industry.

"After our introduction of Plant-Meat Protein in the US and EU last summer, and the tremendous market interest that followed, we were approached by a lot of plant-based dairy producers,"​ said Green Boy Group co-founder Peter van Dijken.

"The only logical step for us was to develop a functional plant-based protein that specifically caters to the plant-based dairy needs."

"The plant-based dairy products are developing rapidly in all sorts of forms and shapes, and you have to be able to keep up with their demands,"​ said Frederik Otten, the other co-founder of the company.

"Our customers want to create the ultimate plant-based cheese, yoghurt or spread. As the market leader in the plant-based protein segment we have the technical know-how, experience and capability to supply the industry via Plant-Dairy Protein with a versatile range of functional plant-based protein in terms of superior texture, flavor profile, mouthfeel and protein enhancement. International brands rely on us to formulate the highest quality plant-based dairy products out there. Green Boy has the advantage to offer Plant-Dairy Protein worldwide through our offices in the US, Europe and Australia."

Plant-Dairy Protein is a 'dairy grade' non-GMO functional plant-based protein powder. Plant-Dairy Protein has a neutral flavor profile, enhances mouthfeel, boosts nutritional properties and enlarges the textured aspects in plant-based dairy products.

The food industry can use Plant-Dairy Protein to produce plant-based dairy products like vegan cheese, yogurt, ice cream, spreads, butter, mayonnaise and eggs. Plant-Dairy Protein comes in four different types of protein made from pea, mung bean, fava bean and chickpea.
