Wide Open Agriculture Limited Announces Buntine Protein® Has Been Well Received as A Key Ingredient in A Variety Food Applications
Significant Opportunity for Vegan Cheeses. Rapid progress has been made in the development of high-protein vegan cheese with Buntine Protein. Vegan cheeses are commonly produced using oils and carbohydrates and have a protein concentration of less than 1%. The first-generation Buntine Protein cheese stands apart due to its consistent, smooth mouthfeel, authentic fermentation method, and a protein concentration of 20%. Buntine Protein® Enhanced Oat Milk delivers in extended life RTD format. Development of Dirty Clean Food's high-protein oat milk has progressed into a ready-to-drink (RTD) prototype format (330ml aluminium can). This vital development stage provides evidence that Buntine Protein can be mixed, pasteurised and stored in a RTD format without compromising taste. The launch of domestically produced high protein oat milk product range is expected this calendar year. Noodles & Baked Goods. Wide Open Agriculture has also achieved significant milestones in application development of high protein noodles and baked goods. During March, Buntine Protein® was demonstrated as a protein ingredient in a noodle application to one of the largest noodle makers in the world, as well as multiple global ingredient companies. The Company has demonstrated the performance of Buntine Protein® in both gluten free and high protein noodle formats. Shown in the following image, the noodles application demonstrated the commercial potential for Buntine Protein® as a key ingredient in high protein noodles, increasing the health and nutritional profile of this staple food without compromising on texture or flavour. Wide Open Agriculture has also integrated Buntine Protein® into the Dirty Clean Food line of biscuits, demonstrating its potential in baking applications.
