2 Veaty Concept Eating Healthier food is a trend attracting interest all over the world. The decision to maintain a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle has many reasons including ethics, animal rights, overall health, religion, climate protection and global food supply issues. Three main vegetarian/vegan product groups exist in the marketplace: Vegetarian/vegan meat and milk substitutes Vegetable spreads Cereals and snacks To serve this ongoing trend, product developers of vegetarian/vegan products are faced with some major challenges like: 1) the genuine, unpleasant tastes of alternative vegetable proteins (i.e. pea, lupine, soy, etc.) used in those kind of applications. 2) Giving these applications the desired, typical taste profile (body note) and/or a dedicated top note. 3) Achieving a pleasant appearance/colour like barbecued meat e.g. for meat analogues. Based on the unique properties of brewers yeast extract Leiber has developed a comprehensive application concept for the development of innovative, vegetarian/vegan consumer products. The Leiber Veaty Range: A building block system for vegetarian/vegan product developments Based on the well known building block concept of the flavour industry Leiber has developed several sensorial and technical solutions related to vegetarian/vegan consumer products. : Leiber Veaty extracts allow product developers an opportunity to neutralise the unpleasant taste profiles of alternative proteins (i.e. algae, chickpea, pea, soy, etc.), using non-compounded ingredients that suppress negative raw material tastes. Taste profiles Body Notes (): Leiber Veaty Body Note extracts make it easier to meet consumer expectations about the labelled taste profile of specific vegetarian/vegan products (e.g. beefy taste). Profiles like savoury, meaty, beefy, pork, etc. are available. Taste profiles Top Notes (): Leiber Veaty Top Note extracts allow customization of the basic product profile by imparting a unique top note to complete the entire taste of the product. Colouring: Especially when developing meat analogues the colour of the product can determine consumer acceptance. Leiber Veaty Colour Brown natural brown extract (clean label) imparts a product appearance like being barbecued/charred, roasted or even meaty. Veaty : MASK / TASTE / COLOUR All products of the Leiber Veaty range comply with the requirements of VLOG certification: A GMO free certification on the basis of EGGenTDurchfG. 2

3 Veaty Vegetarian/vegan products are mainly based on alternative vegetable protein concentrates, isolates, flours or TVP s (textured vegetable proteins). An obvious disadvantage of these raw materials is the genuine, native off-taste. The typical off-tastes of the most popular proteins are: Algae protein Seafood-like, fishy taste profile Chickpea Nutty, moldy off-taste Hemp protein Unpleasant, genuine hemp taste Lupine protein Extreme bitter off-taste Pea protein Very intense bitter, moldy, earthy off-taste Soya protein Typical beany, earthy, soy taste The Leiber Veaty solution: The Leiber Veaty extract range is dedicated to neutralise these off-taste profiles of alternative proteins. Leiber Veaty range suppresses these offtastes to create a neutral taste that helps avoid overflavouring typical of vegetarian/vegan formulations. Leiber Veaty offers developers the possibility to focus formulations on better tasting more nutritious products. For vegetarian/vegan applications a dosage between 0.25% and 1.0% on dry matter has been shown effective. Applications: High protein applications Spreads Sauces, soups Seasonings, spice blends Convenience products, ready meals Meat analogues Textured vegetable proteins (TVP) Dosage: 0.25% - 1.0% o. d. m.; in case of TVP s, according to the preparation recommendation.

4 Veaty Taste profiles: Body Notes () The healthy lifestyle of vegetarian/vegan products creates the need for natural, clean label ingredients. Additives having E-numbers should be avoided. On the other hand, the consumer acceptance of these products clearly depends on the texture (mouthfeel) and the taste of the product. In this light, a specifically labelled taste profile creates an explicit consumer expectation. The Leiber Veaty Taste profile solution: Leiber Veaty Body Note () range is solely based on natural brewers yeast extracts, which allows clean labelling. A specific strength of brewers yeast extracts is to make taste profiles like cooked beef, roast beef stock, roast chicken, lamb, etc. which promote robust body notes in the final product. These body notes impart basic tastes according to the labelled profiles. Applications: High protein applications Spreads Sauces, soups Seasonings, spice blends Convenience products, ready meals Especially meat analogues Textured vegetable proteins (TVP) Dosage: 0.5% 3.5% o. d. m.; in case of TVP s, according to the preparation recommendation. Benefits: Typical savoury taste profiles related to distinct types of meat Clean label alternative to reaction flavours Solely protein-based extracts, no additives, no carriers Completely water soluble Kosher and Halal Gluten free according to EU legislation 828/2014 GMO free Consistency Salt on d.m beef cooked Powder 35 39% beef savoury-meaty Powder 1% roast beef stock Powder 3% beef charred barbecued Powder 10 14% pk Powder 3% chicken Powder 36 40% roast chicken Powder 36 40% lamb Powder 34 38% 4

5 Veaty Taste profiles: Top Notes () Besides giving products basic taste profiles, the addition of specific flavour top notes allow developers to customize profiles by adding characteristic flavour nuances. Leiber Veaty Top Notes can be applied as key flavour components to individualise and strengthen overall product taste profiles. The Leiber Veaty Taste profile solution: Leiber Veaty Top Note () range is solely based on natural brewers yeast extracts. Due to a specially developed process, Leiber offers very taste-intensive yeast extracts, which can be used as alternative to reaction flavours with the advantage of clean labelling. These extracts are the core components of the Leiber Veaty Top Notes and work in synergy with alternative protein raw materials to enhance desired flavour profiles of vegetarian/vegan products. Top Notes like roasted-smoky, barbecued and roasted-beefy are available. Applications: High protein applications Spreads Sauces, soups Seasonings, spice blends Convenience products, ready meals Especially meat analogues Textured vegetable proteins (TVP) Dosage: 0.1% - 1.0% o. d. m.; in case of TVP s, according to the preparation recommendation. Benefits: Key-impact taste profiles related to meattreatments like: cooked, barbecued, roasted, etc. Clean label alternative to reaction flavours Solely protein-based extracts, no additives, no carriers Very low dosages Completely water soluble Kosher and Halal Gluten free according to EU legislation 828/2014 GMO free Consistency Salt on d.m roasted-smoky Powder 3% barbecued (pk style) Powder 29 33% roasted-beef Powder 36 40% 5

6 Veaty Colouring Colour is a key component of any vegetarian/vegan formula, in particular meat analogues based on TVP s. Beside achieving a typical taste profile for vegetarian/vegan burgers or vegetarian/vegan minced meat in instant noodles the appropriate colour is essential to ensure consumer acceptance. Ideally the colour should be achieved using a cleanlabel ingredient to avoid an E-number declaration or problematic compounds associated with caramel colour. Neutral taste is an additional key attribute of colour in vegetarian/vegan applications so it does not interfere with the taste profile of the product. The Leiber Veaty Colouring solution: The Leiber Veaty Colour extract is neutral in taste and shows an intense brown colour. It is a pure, natural brewers yeast extract, which allows clean labelling. This extract also can be used as E-number free alternative to caramel colour. Depending on the applied dosages a variety of typical brownish, meaty-like looks can be achieved when working e.g. with TVP s. Applications: High protein applications Spreads Sauces, soups Seasonings, spice blends Convenience products, ready meals Especially meat analogues Textured vegetable proteins (TVP) Dosage: 0.5% 3.5% o. d. m.; in case of TVP s, according to the preparation recommendation. Benefits: Neutral in taste, intense brownish colour Clean label alternative to caramel colour Solely protein-based extract, no additives, no carriers Completely water soluble Kosher and Halal Gluten free according to EU legislation 828/2014 GMO free Consistency Salt on d.m Colour Brown Powder 2%
