AOT Extrudates

We also use plant proteins to create textured ingredients for innovative food concepts. AOT is the manufacturer of the well-known SunflowerFamily products, including SonnenblumenHack.

Depending on the product type, the extrudates can be integrated into a wide range of recipes and offer solutions for applications that call for a defined structure, bite or visible particles. The Heliaflor® Cereals product series, for example, is suitable for use in bars. It provides a textured, protein-based ingredient for bar concepts and other applications that require a distinctive texture.
