plant-based

Helping you excel in the fast-growing plant-based market.

The plant-based market is exploding in popularity, as more and more flexitarian consumers look for ways to integrate plant-based food and beverages into their diets.​

As pioneers in the plant-based segment, IFF has developed a full range of cultures to help you exceed the expectations of this growing consumer base.​ With the help of our deep and comprehensive knowledge of the various plant bases, you can overcome the taste and texture challenges that come with developing plant-based fermented products.​

HOWARU® Probiotic Cultures​

The studies indicate that these cultures, HOWARU® Bifido (consisting of Bifidobacterium lactis HN019™) and HOWARU® Dophilus (consisting of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®), provide the required probiotic dose in just one serving.​
