How is Solein meant to be used in foods?
Solein is meant to be used as an ingredient by the food industry. It is aimed at food companies looking for nutritious, functional, and sustainable protein ingredients of consistent quality that can be reliably delivered for their products. Food companies will be able to use Solein in their products to substitute traditional ingredients or protein sources. Solein can also upgrade the nutritional profile of foods, and it can be used for a wide variety of functional benefits in different products. In our view, having access to an alternative natural protein should not require you to compromise your choices, or taste buds, as a consumer.
Solein’s adaptability is virtually limitless, and it can be used as a protein ingredient in a wide variety of existing foods such as pasta, bread, plant-based dairy, alternative dairy and meat products, drinks, and more. Solein also excels in applications that demand premium protein, rich nutrition, and outstanding taste. Solein vanishes into foods easily making it ideal for virtually every food imaginable, sweet or savoury.
- Thanks to its excellent emulsification, Solein is perfect for creating smooth, stable mixtures in products like mayonnaise, dressings, and non-dairy creamers.
- Solein’s ability to fibrillate means Solein can be transformed to mimic meat’s texture for satisfying alternative meatballs, strips, or meat imitations.
- Solein’s acid gelation and curdling properties make it ideal for vegan yoghurts and cheeses, providing the familiar consistency and mouthfeel of dairy products.
- The fine particle size allows for easy dispersion, ensuring a creamy texture in dairy alternatives and uniform blending in soups, sauces, and beverages.
- As a non-sedimenting ingredient, it’s excellent for protein shakes and other liquid foods. Solein serves as a nutritional building block, fortifying foods with protein, vitamins, and minerals.
- From pasta and omelettes to protein bars and noodle soups, Solein is a versatile addition, providing a protein boost with every bite. Solein can also be used as a fortifying ingredient, for example to add iron to a food product.
