About the Jenerise Founders

Steve Jennings created the world’s first creatine monohydrate brand in 1992, bringing the inaugural Ergomax C150 tablets to the Barcelona Olympics. 

Now Steve and his daughter Rachael are the co-founders for a global operation in creatine production. Their mission is to establish creatine as a versatile ingredient that extends far beyond the realm of sports nutrition, bringing the possibilities of creatine to everyday application. The Jennings duo launched Jenerise Cr.01™ in May 2026, naming Osage Food Products as the primary North America supplier for their flagship ingredient.

Protein continues to trend in consumer nutrition preferences, but popular solutions are not without their limitations. Whey protein is experiencing a shortage in the market, and manufacturers are replacing whey protein in formulations to match demand with a formidable product.

In a groundbreaking new movement, yeast protein is dominating the scene with a unique makeup of components that provide enhanced benefits. Explore the yeast protein frontier and learn how Osage is adapting to replenish a shifting protein market with a mode of production executed through SolvPro® and Revyve.

What is Yeast Protein?

Yeast is a nutritionally dense organism that contains protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins and minerals.

Unlike whey proteins and other dairy-based formulations, yeast protein is a plant-based compatible compound that is 100% dairy-free and vegan. Other notable qualities include a complete amino acid profile and a Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1.0, which surpasses single-source plant proteins and even matches whey protein as the top standard.

When applied to a product formulation, yeast protein provides the nine essential amino acids that the body requires, making it a viable and marketable ingredient to optimize for today’s consumer protein craze.

The Revyve Portfolio

In a new collaboration, SolvPro® is now featuring ingredients from Revyve, a food-ingredient tech company based in the Netherlands, to leverage this new vehicle. Revyve has unlocked yeast functionality with a gentle isolation method that maintains integrity of the protein and fiber, along with other nutrients.

Revyve offers two proprietary yeast protein ingredient solutions that contribute to formulations: 

Revytal: Supports cellular renewal with protein and micronutrients.

Thryve: Optimal for fiber-forward formulations and a desirable texture.

Revytal and Thryve each carry industry-leading properties for use, including:

• A higher concentration of B vitamins and minerals
• Beta-glucan (~25g/100g in Thryve as the primary driver) to support immunity and boosted energy
• Bio-active polyamines (~1440 ppm in Revytal as the main driver) as a recovery aid
• Up to 50% higher protein levels than leading isolates
• Smooth mouthfeel

Revyve Applications in Formula

The Revyve ingredients provide protein and fiber in a range of formats.

Bakery and snack applications

The evolution of snacks and baked goods continues to rely on protein, and the familiar taste and mouthfeel of yeast lends itself to baking formulations and similar executions.

Sports nutrition

An uptake in protein intake dominates consumer demand, and yeast protein fulfills that need. The recovery potential of yeast protein is substantial, where formulations crafted for exercise reduce fatigue and can help boost recovery.

Healthy aging

Older adults often need to pay extra attention to their protein consumption, to maintain their intake of vitamins and nutrients that supports healthy aging. Yeast protein houses B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, iron and zinc, all important qualities in a complete protein that supports older adults and their nutrition missions.

The SolvPro®-Revyve Lineup

SolvPro® carries three distinct blends that capitalize on the robust qualities of Revyve yeast protein ingredients:

SolvPro 308®:  A yeast protein blend with high digestibility and neutral taste for application.

SolvPro 309®: The yeast protein that promotes functional nutrition with beta-glucan immune support and B vitamins for energy.

SolvPro 310®: A blend of yeast, pea and fava bean protein with the potential to support longevity and aging.

As the seasons change, everyone is preparing for chilly weather with warm, cozy flavors. Winter is not the time to go bold on the innovations, as consumers are looking for comfort and nostalgia in their baking, snack and LTO selections. This blog will explore the predictable trends the season offers for appropriate innovation, as well as familiar flavors to capitalize on for production.

Matching Flavor Format to Seasonal Trends

The holiday season brings an annual opportunity for product developers to lean into decadent, rich winter flavors that drive emotion. October through December brings more annual and federal holidays than any other fiscal quarter, offering a diverse breadth of opportunity on the flavor stage.

Rather than trying to create organic flavors, Numerator notes that consumers aren’t looking for fresh, fun products, but instead want to fall back on tried-and-true, familiar seasonal flavors that drive sales and engagement. Cinnamon and chocolate join orange and cranberry, along with that classic sugar cookie sweetness and spiced gingerbread for popular, yet always-anticipated tastes this time of year.

Understanding the winter foods landscape allows product developers to optimize trends in unique ways specific to the brand, while capturing the bespoke nostalgia that rules the season. Osage understands the timely needs of seasonal LTOs and nostalgic favorites, and holds the formulation tools to create the newest timeless classic for brands and products.

Combining Trending Vehicles with Nostalgic Notes

There is a pertinent method for capitalizing on rising fads in protein and fiber with seasonal flavors. A 2026 consumer report from Spins notes that protein still holds potential for expansion, while dietary fiber holds a prominent position in the market and a general health-conscious approach to purchasing behaviors.

What Winter Flavors are Trending for 2026?

Innova Market Insights notes in a 2026 flavor trend report that “U.S. consumers say that indulgence, including rich flavors, is a key aspect of special occasions. Brands can help U.S. consumers turn everyday meals and snacks into opportunities to build excitement with new flavors, flavors tied to seasons and nostalgic flavors.”

Over time, select flavors become dependable fixtures in seasonal lineups. Familiar flavors to venture into can include:

• Pumpkin spice: The ultimate cold-weather flavor.
• Cinnamon: Versatile and charming across applications.
• Gingerbread: Rich and hearty in many contexts.
• Peppermint: An excellent LTO opportunity for drinks and snacks alike.
• Winter citrus: A surprising use for orange and lemony, bright yuzu flavors.
• Baking spices: Think nutmeg, clove and ginger, among other popular baked good spices.

Fall in Love with Osage Food Products

Whether it’s pumpkin spice or everything nice, the next great formulation for the winter season starts with ideation rooted in tradition. Staying ahead of the season with planning flavor innovation will make the holiday season that much longer. Request an Osage Food Products sample to start working on the season’s classics.

Swicy? Swalty? Swavory? These terms aren't a slip of the tongue.

The new fads in flavors hold increased focus in simple, yet exciting combinations to produce highly craveable taste sensations that draw from international cuisines and domestic, regional delights alike. This guide will cover the current terminology around flavor mashups and their market appeal, along with the Osage approach to capitalizing on this evolution of eating.

Swicy and Swalty: Sweeping the Internet

On the digital landscape, consumers look to social media for their snack inspirations. The Food Institute reports that TikTok users engaging in product discovery on the platform are moving towards the “swalty” (sweet-salty) phenomenon for snacks like miso caramel and candied bacon, along with meal staples like instant ramen.

A similar trend in “swicy” (sweet-spicy) is taking the global stage, where the combination shows demand from Asian cuisine and other international dishes. Tastewise reports that swicy food products are exhibiting both massive growth and promising staying power; the term might fade, but consumers will still seek out those flavor combinations as they establish their familiarity.

The Sweet Foundation

The foundational element for these combinations is sweet, which precedes all names and flavor profiles. A 2025 study published by BMC Nutrition pointed out that preferences to sweet flavors play an important role in choosing to partake in the sensory experience of certain foods. While calorie considerations and other markers in the products do matter, such as fat content and carbohydrates, the instinctual choice in flavor is often what pushes decision-making.

An Elevated Sensory Experience

The market shifting to accommodate these taste sensations signals a push for innovation on all sides. Combining distinct flavors signals a bold approach to product creation, which consumers can interpret as modern and complex, heightening their curiosity around purchasing and trying new foods. Mintel research notes that snack manufacturers are pushing nuance in spicy flavors to perform across a broad range of products, especially hot honey and specialty hot sauces, that function to enhance and elevate dishes.

Protein is having a major moment. From beverages and bars to snacks, baked goods and everyday foods, consumers are actively seeking products with added protein. But manufacturers are facing a new challenge: keeping up with demand while managing rising ingredient costs and supply constraints.

The growing demand for high-protein foods fueled by protein’s popularity and the rise of GLP-1s has put significant pressure in particular on the whey protein supply chain. Once considered a readily available byproduct of cheese production, whey protein is now one of the most sought-after ingredients in food and beverage innovation. As highlighted in Yahoo Finance's coverage of the whey supply crunch, demand for whey protein has surged as brands add protein to an expanding range of food and beverage categories.

According to both Food Dive and USA Today, suppliers are struggling to keep pace with demand, and prices for whey protein concentrate and isolate continue to climb. For manufacturers relying heavily on whey, this creates new challenges, from rising costs and tighter supply to the need for more flexible formulation strategies. This is where SolvPro comes in. 

The Case for SolvPro as a Flexible Protein Solution
SolvPro is designed to help manufacturers create protein-enhanced products with a more flexible approach to formulation. By working with a protein system tailored to each application, brands can develop products that support their nutrition targets, texture goals and processing requirements. Here are three reasons why SolvPro supports product performance. 

1. Reduces dependence on whey protein.
   With whey protein prices rising and availability tightening, many manufacturers are looking for alternative protein solutions that can help reduce supply chain risk. SolvPro plant protein systems give formulators additional options beyond traditional dairy proteins, helping brands maintain innovation pipelines even when whey markets are volatile. SolvPro experts can customize, design and source multi-component protein systems based on your application's specific needs, ingredient requirements and cost targets.
2. Delivers complete protein nutrition.
   One of the biggest challenges with plant proteins is achieving a complete amino acid profile. SolvPro blends combine complementary plant proteins to deliver optimized nutritional performance, with several systems achieving a PDCAAS score of 1.0—the highest possible protein quality rating and comparable to whey protein isolates. This allows manufacturers to meet consumer demand for high-protein products without sacrificing nutritional quality.
3. Solves taste, texture and functionality challenges.
   Adding protein isn't simply about achieving a number on a nutrition label. Protein can influence texture, mouthfeel, stability and overall consumer experience. Finding protein is only half the battle. The real challenge is creating products consumers actually enjoy. SolvPro systems are designed to address common formulation hurdles such as solubility, mouthfeel, viscosity, chalkiness and off-flavors. Whether you're developing beverages, nutrition bars, snacks or bakery products, SolvPro helps optimize functionality while delivering the taste and texture consumers expect.

Build Your Next Protein Innovation with SolvPro
The protein boom shows no signs of slowing. Companies that proactively evaluate their protein strategy today will be better positioned to innovate tomorrow. With SolvPro, Osage Food Products helps brands create innovative protein solutions designed to support functionality, flexibility and long-term success. When market conditions change, your formulation strategy should be ready.
