VITESSENCE® TEX Crumbles 102 textured protein is recommended for use in a variety of meat alternative applications. After hydration, VITESSENCE® TEX Crumbles 102 provides texture, chewiness, and firmness to help mimic the texture of meat in patties, crumbles, and sausage alternatives. It also increases protein content in meat alternative formulations by providing 65% protein (dry basis). VITESSENCE® TEX Crumbles 102 textured pea protein is a non-GMO and gluten-free alternative to textured products containing major allergens like wheat and soy.
- Product Highlights
Formulate plant-based meat alternatives with a satisfying bite and chew
To win in plant-based meat alternatives, you'll need to meet consumers' high expectations for convincing, meaty bite and texture — while also keeping a clean label that is free of GMOs, gluten and ingredients considered major allergens.
With non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free VITESSENCE® TEX Crumbles 102 textured protein, you can leverage the appeal of peas to create the optimal taste, texture, mouthfeel, nutrition and functionality for winning plant-based meat products.
Bring the power of pea protein to your plant-based meat application
Labeled as pea protein and providing 65% protein (dry weight), VITESSENCE® TEX Crumbles 102 textured protein provides texture, chewiness and firmness to help mimic meat in a variety of products, including:
- Vegan patties
- Meatballs
- Nuggets
- Sausages
- Crumbles
- Chicken/tuna pieces
Get optimal functionality for firm, meaty textures
Traditional plant protein powders often fail at creating a meat-like texture, as these ingredients form a thick dough when formulated into a moisture-containing matrix. But VITESSENCE® TEX Crumbles 102 textured protein is a structured vegetable protein (SVP) that:
- Hydrates quickly to help ensure optimal bite and firmness in the end product
- Maintains excellent particle integrity and shape after hydration
