ProTake: Unlocking Application Potential 
 

What's on consumer's minds?

Consumers look at three elements when they make food choices: taste, convenience, and health. Globally, an average 72% of consumers say that the texture of food and drink can make it a more interesting experience, while 2 in 5 consumers pay attention to flavor as a key purchasing factor.[1]  Meanwhile, 11% of new food and beverage launches are tracked with the claim ‘on-the-go’, indicating that convenience is a top-of-mind consumer need.[2] Today’s consumers are increasingly aware of what they eat and drink: 21% claim to follow a protein-rich diet, 68% reduce sugar intake or buy sugar-free food and beverages, and 54% of consumers consider ‘low-fat’ claims to be healthy.[3]


Endless hydrolyzed collagen possibilities 

Collagen products meet multiple health and nutritional requirements, capturing consumer attention and making a mark. Globally, between 2015 and 2019, there was a 53.6% CAGR in food and beverage launches involving high-protein collagen claims.[4] Due to its holistic benefits, trendy appeal, and application versatility, collagen is rapidly moving into the mainstream.

ProTake: rising to the formulation challenge 

Thanks to research developments at Rousselot, product recipes can now be reformulated or redesigned with increased collagen content, reduced fat and sugar, as well as an improved texture and taste. By working closely with food producers, Rousselot’s Application Laboratory has developed a new portfolio of hydrolyzed collagen products, ProTake. Our team offers an array of recipes as well as application expertise, helping you to incorporate collagen in your application. We also offer support in formulation, regulations, and marketing, as you develop your new collagen product.
