PROTEIOS – Textured Vegetable Proteins for Meat Substitutes and More

Textured vegetable proteins developed to mimic the structure of meat and fish in plant-based alternatives and to meet today's demands in terms of protein enrichment in the snacking and bakery segments.

PROTEIOS

Why Proteios?

Meat is not just a source of protein – it provides a unique taste and sensory experience, characterized by a specific texture, juiciness, bite and a distinctive flavor. However, there is a growing trend in reducing meat consumption while favoring more plant-based foods including meat and fish analogues.

 

This can be a real challenge for formulators, because it is not easy to perfectly recreate the afore mentioned characteristics of meat.

 

Proteios is a range of textured vegetable proteins (TVPs), developed using advanced extrusion technology to deliver high-protein content, meat-like texture and a neutral taste profile.

 

In addition, this range can also be applied in other segments – including bakery, bars and ready meals – with highly-satisfactory results in terms of eating experience and nutritional value.
