Two years of research and development went into creating Cultivated Biosciences' first proof of concept for yeast-based fermented fat, which will offer coffee drinkers a new dairy-free coffee creamer. The prototype combines its novel fat ingredient with plant protein, sugar and natural flavors to offer something different than some dairy-free creamers that focus on proteins that mimic dairy. As such, the coffee creamer is described as being remarkably like regular American commercial creamer, yet it offers something that has yet to be achieved in commercially available plant-based creamers.
Cultivated Biosciences plans to file for US and EU regulatory approval shortly, and it is aiming for a market debut in the former for 2025. This upcoming innovation is poised to satisfy consumers who crave, dairy-free products with a creamy mouthfeel.
Fermented Dairy-Free Coffee Creamers
Cultivated Biosciences is Creating a Next-Gen Coffee Creamer
Trend Themes
1. Yeast-based Fermented Fat - The development of yeast-based fermented fat provides a new dairy-free option for coffee creamers, offering a creamy mouthfeel without the use of animal products.
2. Plant-based Creamers - There is an increasing demand for plant-based creamers that mimic the taste and texture of regular American commercial creamers, providing a viable alternative for dairy-free consumers.
3. Novel Ingredients - The use of novel ingredients such as plant protein, sugar, and natural flavors in coffee creamers offers a unique and differentiated product compared to other dairy-free alternatives.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can capitalize on the growing demand for dairy-free coffee creamers by introducing innovative and sustainable plant-based options.
2. Biotechnology - Biotechnology companies specializing in yeast fermentation technology have the opportunity to enter the coffee creamer market with dairy-free alternatives, revolutionizing the industry.
3. Regulatory Affairs - The regulatory affairs industry will play a crucial role in assisting companies like Cultivated Biosciences to navigate the approval process for yeast-based fermented fat and bring it to market by 2025.
