INGOOD®CLEAR is an innovative French lentil protein hydrolysate developed for next-generation protein beverage applications. Combining functional performance, nutritional quality and clean-label credentials, it meets the growing demand for plant-based protein solutions suitable for refreshing beverage formats.
Produced from French non-GMO lentils, INGOOD®CLEAR contains more than 70% protein and offers a balanced nutritional profile. The ingredient is vegan, soy-free and free from major allergens, supporting product development strategies focused on transparency, consumer trust and label simplicity.
A key characteristic of INGOOD®CLEAR is its excellent functionality in beverage applications. The ingredient exhibits rapid dispersion and high solubility, facilitating formulation and processing while contributing to a pleasant drinking experience. Its low viscosity enables the development of light and refreshing products, even at elevated protein levels.
INGOOD®CLEAR is also stable in acidic environments, making it suitable for a broad range of beverage applications where low pH conditions are required. This stability helps support product quality throughout formulation and processing, offering manufacturers greater flexibility in beverage development.
Beyond its high protein content, INGOOD®CLEAR naturally delivers key minerals including potassium, sodium and zinc, making it particularly well suited for hydration and recovery beverage concepts. Combined with its refreshing sensory profile and acid stability, these naturally occurring minerals contribute to the development of next-generation functional drinks.
From a sensory perspective, INGOOD®CLEAR offers a neutral taste profile and a light mouthfeel, helping formulators create appealing products without extensive flavour masking. The ingredient also demonstrates favourable foaming behaviour, with foam dissipating rapidly after preparation, supporting both manufacturing efficiency and consumer acceptance.
INGOOD®CLEAR opens new possibilities for sports nutrition, hydration beverages, protein waters, recovery drinks and other functional beverage concepts. By combining high protein content, acid stability, excellent functionality, naturally occurring minerals and French sourcing, it provides beverage manufacturers with an innovative plant-based solution aligned with current consumer expectations for nutrition, simplicity and sustainability.
This innovation demonstrates how lentil protein can be adapted to meet the technical and sensory requirements of modern beverage applications while delivering strong nutritional value and clean-label positioning.
