Solar Foods receives an order for Solein® in the United States
Solar Foods has received an order for Solein® from an innovative lifestyle company in the United States. The customer has made the order for product development of consumer products made with Solein, and the final products are aimed to become available for consumers in the United States.
Solar Foods is commercialising Solein in the United States, focusing first on the Health & Performance nutrition market. The company is working with numerous customers, and the first consumer product made with Solein recently became available in the United States. Before the US, Solein-powered products have already been available for consumers in Singapore.
Solein can replace traditional proteins like dairy and egg yolk in a variety of products and product categories. It excels as an ingredient in different health & performance nutrition products, offering customers a highly versatile ingredient with exceptional nutrition and functionality, and neutral taste, while drastically reducing environmental impact. Produced via an innovative gas fermentation method, an efficient and scalable technology, Solein can address the significant global protein supply challenge while minimizing the risk for supply restraints and price volatility.
Compared to other protein sources like soy, pea or whey, Solein is nutritionally unique, as it combines the best qualities of animal- and plant-based proteins. Animal-free, dairy-free, lactose-free, soy-free, and non-GMO, Solein has all 9 essential amino acids without cholesterol or saturated fats. Solein contains 10% nutritious fiber, as well as iron and vitamin B12, which plant-based proteins lack.
