Currently, one of the most important factors inhibiting the growth of plant-based products is taste and texture. With Tendra®, we’re entering a new era. It’s time to forget what you already know about proteins!
Meet Tendra®, the new standard in plant proteins
Introducing our latest innovation: a revolutionary protein that will change the standard of nutrition and delight your taste buds like never before. Cosun Protein is proud to present this cutting-edge sensory experience, born from a belief in our unique proprietary technology, and ready to disrupt the market. This isn’t just the best tasting plant protein. This is a high-quality plant protein that will be the new standard in plant proteins, and here’s why:
- Mild and neutral taste
- Easily dissolvable
- Excellent emulsification properties
- Sustainability
Ask any consumer and they’ll tell you – taste is their number one priority. This is where Tendra® can make all the difference. Through our proprietary extraction technology and purification process, we deliver a flavour- and aroma-neutral plant protein that is ideal for great-tasting animal-free and dairy-alternative products.
Tendra® overcomes another common plant protein formulation challenge – poor solubility. In contrast, Tendra® dissolves easily, and remains stably dispersed in solutions. The end result is a smooth dairy-alternative product, without any of the graininess that can be associated with plant proteins.
Another challenge has been achieving good levels of emulsification with plant proteins. Tendra® delivers excellent emulsifying and foaming functionalities – essential in creating tasty and attractive animal-free and dairy-alternative products. This functionality can be achieved even at low concentrations, while increasing the dosage will not affect functionality or taste.
Consumers want clean label ingredients that are sustainably sourced. Tendra® comes from GMO-free fava beans, grown right here in Europe in an environmentally-friendly manner. The fava bean is also a hugely efficient nitrogen fixer, naturally enriching the soil, and providing food and energy for the next crop of plants.
The sensory profile of Tendra®
Our Tendra® fava bean protein isolate scores significantly better in sensory profile than other plant proteins that are currently on the market. On this spider plot, you can see that Tendra® scores best on all components.

Tendra® in active nutrition
In today’s plant protein shake market, taste remains a crucial factor despite the demand for innovation. Many common plant proteins have a bad taste, mouthfeel, and smell. And that’s why consumers keep on searching for better options.
