Nizo food research has produced the world’s first soft serve ice cream under 100 kcal. It contains very low-fat (0,8%) and 25% less sugar, yet tastes great. The product contains only 99kcal per 100 grams of ice cream.
Nizo’s Protein Center has been researching proteins for more than 60 years. Their focus is on creating healthier food products based on both plant and animal protein. NIZO has expert knowledge of protein functionality and the complicated interaction between taste and texture in proteins. This enables the center to use natural proteins to reduce (saturated) fat and sugar content without compromising taste, mouthfeel and consumer appreciation.
Koos Oosterhaven, Business Development Manager at NIZO, explains. “Our protein technology enables the food industry to use natural ingredients to create healthier products. This soft serve ice cream is just one example of our many protein innovations. This technology can also be applied to many other food products. We are eager to develop these in collaboration with the industry.”
