Functional-plus nutrition
The future of protein is here
Maltento stands for functional-plus nutrition made in balance with nature. Our flagship products are insect-based compounds and naturally enhanced insect protein derivatives. Traditional proteins differ in quality, efficacy and the way they are produced, which often results in high environmental costs. At our high-tech urban farm, we only input clean, traceable food-and-beverage industry co-products.
Our product portfolio is focused on nutrition (providing high quality ingredients for balanced diets); health (functional compounds in premixes according to life-stage feeding regimes); the feeding experience (including natural Pallatents) and soil enhancement. All of our products are designed for optimal efficacy and production process fit and are available in dry or wet form.

New Product Development (NPD)
Our NPD process models a natural ecosystem. We continuously identify opportunities then develop and optimise solutions in a continuous growth cycle for and through our stakeholders.
Our vision for alternative nutritional solutions combines with our scientific method and collaborative business philosophy to create a hub of ideas, natural sciences and great minds – all working together to positively impact food security. We regularly join forces with industry professionals to develop insect-based ingredients that meet market demand.
Part of our contribution to the industry is conducting extensive research. Rigorous scientific study contributes to how we unlock the nutritional potential of the BSF larvae, as well as how we conduct ingredient screening and verification trials. All of our benefit claims are backed by science. We are committed to keep innovating and improving, and are continually refining the profile of our Maltento compounds, upping our yield and honing our ways of working. We are inquisitive by nature and our products are derived purely from nature. We look forward to working with you on the next generation of clean and functional-plus nutrition solutions.
