16 Jul 2025 | PlantFusion
PlantFusion’s CEO, Phil Vigeant, details how the company develops alternative, plant-based protein powders like those based on legumes. He highlights chickpeas’ creamy functionality and the organoleptic challenges of incorporating nutrient-dense algae into protein powders. Vigeant explains how the company balances functionality with taste, texture, sustainability, and costs to develop new products. For example, PlantFusion blends different sources to achieve a complete amino acid profile or adds vegan amino acids.
