Ingredients specialist Loryma has responded to increasing demand for foods with easily understandable ingredient lists with the addition of a new binder to the Lory Bind portfolio. The wheat-based solution is an alternative to conventional binders such as methylcellulose and is suitable for meat-free products. It can be combined with a wheat texturate from the Lory Tex range for use in the replication of plant-based fish and meat alternatives.
By using texturates and the Lory Bind variant, manufacturers can not only imitate the typical structure and authentic mouthfeel of nuggets, schnitzels and salami, but also create foods with short ingredient lists free from declarable E-numbers. Additionally, the protein contained in the binder gives vegan meat alternatives a nutrient profile that is claimed to closely resemble the original.
Enabling a wide range of vegan applications, the binder is suitable for both hot and cold consumption. The wheat-based ingredient is designed to be easy to handle, allowing manufacturers to use their usual meat processing technology for the production of plant-based substitutes.
