New vegan ground meat concept reflects growing demand for meat substitutes

The German company Loryma has released an innovative product with high nutritional value, made on the basis of wheat proteins. The developer managed to faithfully reproduce the texture of MEAT dishes.

Loryma's innovative vegan ground meat concept based on functional wheat ingredients convincingly reproduces the sensory characteristics of natural ground meat. it contains a comparable amount of protein with less fat, saturated fatty acids and extra dietary fiber.

Minced meat contains textured wheat proteins and starch-based binders that provide the necessary plasticity. The initial ingredients are odorless and tasteless, which makes it possible to vary the organoleptic of the finished product, adjusting to the needs and technical conditions of the customer, and offer the consumer a highly adaptable alternative to minced meat for preparing a variety of dishes.

Vegan mince from Loryma is available to the customer both chilled and frozen. Based on this versatile product, you can prepare a wide range of alternatives to classic meat menu dishes. The starchy component, which serves as a binding base, gives it the structure of "angel hair" and appearance, indistinguishable from natural minced meat.

Meatballs and other snacks are prepared from vegan minced meat based on wheat proteins, including buffet dishes. It easily separates from a hot surface during sautéing and frying and retains its shape perfectly.

Flavorless and odorless, Lory® Tex textured wheat proteins and functional Lory® Bind wheat starch binding system open up endless possibilities for using spices, flavors and colorings, depending on the intended use of the finished product and the wishes of the client. At the same time, the manufacturer guarantees the absence of an undesirable aftertaste. The fibrous structure and elasticity of vegan ground meat recreates the sensory characteristics of original meat dishes.

In recent months, the global market for alternative products has been expanding rapidly.
