Raw materials
It all began around 170 years ago with wheat. We extracted, processed, and refined it into functional starches and proteins. Today, we use our refinment expertise as well to optimize other renewable, plant-based raw materials, such as peas, pumpkin, rice, corn, milk, whey and fava, to create highly effective, functional solutions.
