Innovation

Innovation inspires sustainable growth.

From differentiated products to new applications, innovation is driving our team to deliver the future of food.

Phyto differentiates its food ingredient product offerings with these fundamental attributes:

  • Novel
  • Sustainable
  • Scalable

Novel Ingredients

We are answering the challenge of processing novel pulse crops into plant-based proteins and co-products: combining functionality, taste, and nutrition. The process we use yields protein ingredients with neutral taste, smell, and colour.

Our sustainability pedigree is also embedded in our products: we are extracting all components of pulses for human or animal consumption. Superior sensory profile, optimal functionality, and purity at its best: all products from our portfolio are optimized to deliver the best attributes for your food formulation.

Our complete portfolio of food ingredients will help achieve the best texture and sensory outcomes for your food formulations. Our R&D team is dedicated to help you with your product development.
