INSECT PROTEIN FLAVOUR PROFILE
Have you ever eaten insects or been curious to try?
With a growing number of Australian and international pets now experiencing the flavour and nutritional qualities of Viridian's specific insect protein ingredients, it's time we clairfy the flavour profile and appeal for use in the pet food industry.
Through Viridian's extensive research programs we have developed a range of functional insect protein ingredients derived from Black Soldier Fly Larvae. Our specialty production methods impart complex aromas which include notes of umami, fish, nuts, mushrooms as well as chocolatey aromas.
Including these products in tailored pet food formulations yields further scents ranging from savoury and meaty to chocolate and praline.
Flavour wise, our ingredients are naturally appealing to both dogs and cats with our full-fat products being comparable to pork-crackling and chicken skin whilst our protein concentrates tends towards a nuttier base.
For pets, these tastes and smells are amplified even further, providing a source of utter enjoyment, stimulation and variety. Paired with the nutritional completeness of the BSFL protein, Viridian's range of ingredients are an excellent single or mixed source of proteins in pet food products.
