Frutarom Adds Vegetarian Solutions to its Portfolio
16 Jul 2015 --- Frutarom Savory Solutions’ new range of vegetarian and vegan options provides new solutions for meat industry, butchers and catering businesses. Combining high-quality ingredients and processing know-how, the range is designed to deliver a similar meat-like taste profile and mouthfeel. By using valuable protein sources, products are created with a comparable nutritional profile to meat.
The cold cuts compound enables manufacturers to produce vegetarian alternatives. Based on high-quality egg white powder, Frutarom’s experts have combined it with natural vegetable and spice extracts to achieve a meat-like colour.
Thanks to the optimised combination of protein source and processing expertise, the cold cuts have a meat-like texture and a balanced taste profile. Processing is simple and the basic compound can be easily tailored to personal taste by adding ingredients such as bell peppers, pickles or olives to the mass.
Frutarom’s portfolio of convenient complete solutions for vegan Chili and Bolognese is aimed at food service and other food outlets. The all-in-one solutions contain high-quality soy texturates and tastefully sauces.
“The demand for vegetarian products is continuously rising. However, developing alternatives that offer convincing texture and taste profiles is challenging”, says Ralf Steinmann, R&D Director at Frutarom Savory Solutions. “Thanks to our comprehensive expertise in the field of meat, we understand how to transfer that know-how to vegetarian alternatives. As such, we offer practical and tasty meat free solutions for butchers, industrial producers, caterers and canteens”, Steinmann concluded.
