Multi-sensory food experiences
Component content

Oat flour enables you to create multi-sensory food experiences using a recognisable ingredient that consumers trust.

Givaudan’s clean label SWEOAT® oat flours are produced entirely from de-hulled and heat-treated oat kernels, using a natural and minimal process that keeps the macromolecules intact.

This innovative method gives our oat flours exceptionally good capabilities in four key areas:

  1. Emulsification: important for bakery, beverages and ice cream
  2. Water binding: needed in meat alternatives, bakery, soups and sauces.
  3. Gelation: important for sauces and dairy alternatives
  4. Foaming capabilities: to add texture and visual appeal to beverages and desserts.
