The magic of the
perfect cappuccino.

— ✦ —

Proamina® isn't just a sweetening ingredient: it's a revolution in the cup. Thanks to its protein nature, it interacts with milk proteins to enhance and stabilise micro-foam.

The science of foam

Proamina®'s amino acids bind to milk proteins during steaming, forming a protein network that makes the foam denser, silkier and longer-lasting. The result is an extraordinary cappuccino — richer, more aromatic, more persistent — without a single gram of sugar.

  • Denser and more stable foam compared to traditional sucrose
  • Uniform micro-bubbles that enhance the barista's latte art
  • Compatible with dairy, oat, soy and almond milk
  • No aftertaste — clean sweetness that respects the coffee's aroma
