Plant-Based Yogurt Enzymes for Dairy Alternative Processing
Our enzyme technology contributes to the development of plant-based yogurts with a smoother texture and improved water retention properties. These specialized enzymes can also effectively mask any unique odors associated with plant-based ingredients, resulting in more appealing dairy alternative products.

Advanced Yogurt Alternative Solutions
Creating high-quality plant-based yogurt requires specialized enzyme technology to achieve the creamy texture and smooth consistency that consumers expect from traditional dairy yogurt. Our advanced enzyme solutions address the unique challenges in plant-based yogurt production.
Solutions of Amano Enzyme
Thick, creamy, plant-based yogurts.

Compared to yogurt derived from cow’s milk, plant-based yogurt has challenges maintaining smoothness and flavor. Amano’s speciality enzymes can improve the water retention properties and prevent syneresis of plant-based yogurt, resulting in a smooth, creamy texture. We can also help address off notes caused by legumes used in production.
Texture Enhancement Technology
Our specialized enzymes improve the texture and mouthfeel of plant-based yogurt by modifying plant proteins to create a smooth, creamy consistency. These protein-modifying enzymes help eliminate grittiness and achieve the desired viscosity through controlled protein cross-linking that closely mimics traditional dairy yogurt texture.
Water Retention and Stability
Our enzymes enhance water-binding properties in plant-based yogurt, significantly reducing syneresis (whey separation) and maintaining product stability throughout shelf life. This technology results in yogurt products with better consistency and appearance, ensuring that the product maintains its quality from production to consumption without unwanted separation.
Flavor and Odor Optimization
Our enzyme solutions effectively mask undesirable plant protein flavors and odors while supporting the development of clean, neutral taste profiles. These specialized enzymes address the characteristic legume notes and other off-flavors commonly associated with plant-based ingredients, creating more appealing yogurt alternatives that meet consumer taste expectations.
Plant-Based Yogurt Applications
Our enzyme solutions support various plant-based yogurt applications across multiple product categories. For thick yogurt alternatives, our enzymes create protein-rich products with enhanced texture and improved mouthfeel. In drinking yogurt applications, our technology ensures smooth, pourable yogurt beverages with consistent viscosity and clean flavor profiles. Our solutions also enhance flavored yogurt varieties by improving flavor integration and texture stability while maintaining product consistency. Additionally, we provide enzyme support for cultured yogurt products, enabling manufacturers to create functional alternatives with beneficial bacteria cultures while maintaining optimal texture and taste characteristics.
Benefits of Our Plant-Based Yogurt Enzymes
Our plant-based yogurt enzyme solutions deliver comprehensive benefits that transform plant proteins into appealing yogurt alternatives. Smooth texture development is achieved through advanced protein modification that creates creamy, non-gritty consistency comparable to traditional dairy yogurt. Improved stability is accomplished through enhanced water-binding properties that reduce separation and extend shelf life, ensuring consistent product quality throughout distribution. Effective odor masking technology neutralizes off-flavors commonly associated with legume-based and other plant protein ingredients. Clean label compatibility allows manufacturers to create products with simplified ingredient lists while maintaining superior performance and consumer appeal.
Yogurt Processing Technology
Our enzyme solutions integrate seamlessly into yogurt production processes, from initial protein preparation to final product stabilization, ensuring consistent quality and performance. This comprehensive approach addresses key production challenges to deliver superior plant-based yogurt products that meet consumer expectations for texture, flavor, and stability.
Processing Integration and Performance
Our enzyme technology integrates effectively into existing yogurt production systems with minimal process modifications required. Protein preparation involves enzyme treatment during the initial stages to optimize protein functionality and create the foundation for superior yogurt texture. The enzymes work in conjunction with fermentation cultures to support optimal product development while maintaining the beneficial properties of traditional yogurt production. Final product stabilization ensures consistent texture, reduced syneresis, and extended shelf life performance, delivering yogurt alternatives that meet commercial quality standards and consumer expectations for premium dairy alternatives.
