Meala FoodTech has partnered with dsm-firmenich to launch Vertis PB Pea, a multifunctional texturizing pea protein designed for plant-based meat alternatives. Now commercially available in Europe, the ingredient enables cleaner labels and improved nutritional profiles by replacing complex binding systems.Vertis PB Pea is produced via a patented biotechnology process and consolidates key functions — binding, gelation, and emulsification — into a single ingredient. It eliminates the need for hydrocolloids and other modified binders commonly used in meat analog formulations.
