Livoo Debuts Organic eco-OATup® Made From Upcycled Oat Drink Pulp

Livoo, a Swedish foodtech company, has introduced eco-OATup®, an organic oat protein ingredient made from leftover pulp from plant-based milk production. The ingredient is standardized to contain 40% protein and 20% fiber on a dry basis, with a mild oat taste and smooth texture. It is suitable for use in a variety of food products, including cereals, granola, sports nutrition powders, bars, plant-based meat, and non-dairy items.

Livoo's circular sourcing model involves recovering oat pulp from plant-based milk facilities, reducing transport of high-moisture biomass and supporting regional sourcing. The company aims to benefit food manufacturers by offering a sustainable protein and fiber ingredient that can be used to enhance existing formulations or develop new ones. With a focus on consistency and performance, Livoo emphasizes the ability to maintain tight specifications, particle size control, and batch certificates of analysis to streamline the development process for food producers.
