Texture. Taste. Functionality. No compromises. Sabrina Buitenhuis is turning plant-based potential into products that truly perform. After earning her Master’s degree in Food Technology at Wageningen University, Sabrina joined Ruitenberg Ingredients in 2016 — and has been immersed in plant-based and hybrid innovation ever since. She built broad expertise in vegetarian and vegan applications and played a key role in developing ProVega, the company’s vegetarian protein structure. She also leads the development of Plantify, Ruitenberg’s plant-based protein structure.

As Business Developer Plant-Based, Sabrina bridges market demand with practical, scalable solutions. She works side by side with producers to develop concepts ranging from fully plant-based to hybrid — always with a sharp focus on taste, texture and functionality. Because if it doesn’t deliver on experience, it doesn’t deliver at all. With a hands-on mindset and a pragmatic, customer-first approach, Sabrina translates trends into tangible innovation — helping bring future-proof, sustainable products from idea to shelf. Plant-based, but built to perform.
