Based on the ‘Leiber flavour concept’, the various extract families can be assigned to the characteristic taste impressions for Leiber Brewers’ Yeast extracts: brothy, meaty, roasted, umami, vegetable and savoury. Within each of the individual products in these extract families, there are gradations of the specific basic taste profile. This opens up the exciting possibility of generating a variety of taste nuances – either as one individual extract or as a mixture with extracts from another extract family.

Leiber – Spices

Spices-taste boosting:

Spices add specific taste profiles to all kinds of food applications. It is important to ensure or even highlight their taste characteristics in the food matrix. Some food ingredients mask spices, so that high dosages of spices are required.

Leiber’s bespoke “Seafood Boosters” take a broader approach when emphasising seafood profiles, to ensure that they appeal to consumers worldwide.

  • Shrimp, anchovy, belacan

  • Surimi
  • Seafood products such as: pastes, soups, stocks, sauces, snacks, etc.

Veaty®

Veaty® – Concept

Naturally plant-based and deliciously ethical
There are many different reasons why people opt for a vegetarian or vegan diet and lifestyle: ethical reasons, such as animal welfare, sustainability, general health issues, religious reasons, climate protection or global food security.

 

The market for vegetarian/vegan consumers is divided into two main product groups:

 

  • Vegetable spreads, cereals and snacks
  • Vegetarian/vegan meat and dairy substitutes

 

 

To serve this ongoing trend, developers of vegetarian/vegan products have to face some major challenges, such as:

 

  1. Masking the unpleasant original tastes of the alternative plant-based proteins (e.g. pea, lupine, soy, etc.) used in these products.
  2. Giving products the desired, typical taste profile (body note) and/or a specific top note.
  3. Creating an appealing appearance/colour such as ‘barbecued meat’, e.g. for meat substitutes.

 

 

Based on the unique properties of Leiber Brewers’ Yeast extract, Leiber has developed a comprehensive application concept for developing innovative, vegetarian/vegan consumer products.

Veaty® – Concept

 

The Leiber Veaty® portfolio:
A ‘building block system’ for developing vegetarian/vegan products

Based on the well-known building block concept used in the flavour industry, Leiber has developed various sensory and technical solutions relating to vegetarian/vegan consumer products.

 

 

Masking:
With the Leiber Veaty® Masking extracts, product developers can neutralise the unpleasant original tastes of alternative proteins (e.g. algae, chickpea, pea, soy, etc.).

 

Taste profiles – Body Notes (BN):
Leiber Veaty® Body Note extracts make it easier to meet consumer expectations regarding flavour in certain vegetarian/vegan products. These include taste profiles such as savoury, meaty, beef or pork.

 

Taste profiles – Top Notes (TN):
Leiber Veaty® Top Note extracts allow developers to customise the basic taste profile of a product using a unique top note, which ‘completes’ the overall taste of the product.

 

Colouring:
Especially when it comes to developing meat substitutes, the colour of the product can be critical in determining consumer acceptance. Leiber’s Veaty® Colour Brown natural brown extract (clean label) gives the product a barbecued/charred, roasted or even meaty appearance.

 


Veaty®: MASKING/TASTE/COLOURING

All products in the Leiber Veaty® range comply with the requirements of VLOG certification: A GMO-free certification on the basis of EGGenTDurchfG

Veaty® – Masking

A matter of good taste!
Leiber’s Veaty® Masking extract range effectively neutralises the off-taste of alternative proteins, leaving developers free to focus on creating recipes for better-tasting and nutritious products.
Leiber’s Veaty® Masking extracts suppress the unwanted off-tastes to create a neutral taste profile, which also helps to avoid excessive dosages of flavourings or seasoning in vegetarian/vegan recipes.

 

Applications:

  • High-protein applications
  • Spreads
  • Sauces, soups
  • Seasoning, spice blends
  • Convenience products, ready meals
  • Meat substitutes
  • Textured vegetable proteins (TVP)

 

Dosage:

  • 0.25-1.0% on d. m.; in the case of TVPs, depends on preparation recommendations

 

Benefits:

  • Proteins previously considered ‘unusable’ can now be used.
  • Leiber Veaty® Masking extracts are also protein-based ingredients, without any additives or carriers
  • Clear water soluble
  • Clean label
  • Kosher and halal
  • Gluten-free in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 828/2014
  • GMO-free

Veaty® – Taste profiles: Body Notes

Clean label thanks to these special notes!
Leiber’s Veaty® Body Note (BN) range is based solely on natural Brewers’ Yeast extracts – which is a requirement for ‘clean label’ certification.
One particular strength of Leiber Brewers’ Yeast extracts is that they can generate taste profiles such as cooked beef, roast beef stock, roast chicken, lamb, etc., which give the final product a meaty ‘body’. Each body note imparts a ‘basic taste’, which corresponds to the taste profile specified on the label.

 

Applications:

  • High-protein applications
  • Spreads
  • Sauces, soups
  • Seasoning, spice blends
  • Convenience products, ready meals
  • Especially meat substitutes

Using a specially developed process, Leiber can produce highly taste-intensive yeast extracts, which can be used as an alternative to process flavourings with the added benefit of clean label certification. These extracts are the core components of the Leiber Veaty® Top Notes and work in synergy with the alternative raw protein materials to enhance the desired taste profiles for vegetarian/vegan products.
