New research fixes meat substitutes’ texture
The dry, chewy, cardboard-like feel of meatless meat has been ruining the experience of food enthusiasts.
While researching on this topic, my team came across VegStable Plus from Florida Food Products.
Meat substitutes with high protein content also end up having a dry texture. And if you were to add water to increase the juiciness, you risk losing its texture.
Do you see the conundrum?
To solve this issue, the company has created a rice bran extract that enhances meat’s juiciness, flavor, and texture. So you can have your plant-based burger and eat it too. 🙂
Like Florida Food Products, there’s another company that brings good news for the lactose intolerant. Nobell Foods have invented a way to genetically engineer Casein, a key protein in cow’s milk, which has helped them achieve the same flavor and texture as dairy products.
So when you’ll drink it, you’ll feel a Déjà-moo :p
Like the above companies, there are many plant-based food startups who are cooking up interesting innovations in the food industry. My team has made a list of them which you can find here- https://www.greyb.com/blog/plant-based-food-startups/
