Plant-Based Solution
Demand for meat-free product is booming and plant-based diet is now becoming mainstream all around the world. The challenge of producing a good meatless product is the high friability of texture due to the lack of proteins to bind and hold the plant-based meat structure.
With food sensory development today, many manufacturers can produce meatless products to have fibrous, chewy, juicy, savory taste and meat-like appearance.
We can help you translate your great ideas into delicious plant-based food products. SMS innovation center is equipped with technologies, instruments, and most importantly expertise, always available to support your company toward greater innovations.
All Purpose Plant-based Meat
SMS has developed I-BIND®, an integrated mixture of plant-protein and food texturizer (Meatless Solution). I-BIND®, effectively enables excellent binding ability: mixing, freezing, grilling, deep-frying, and steaming process, while improving firm, bouncy, and juicy texture for plant-based proteins. With I-BIND® , you can now create meat-free products more easily than ever.
Meatless Patty
Maintaining meat-like texture in plant-based meat products can be easily done with KREATION® N-BIND - the functional modified starch, specially designed for Methyl Cellulose replacement to provide excellent protein binding, high water binding, elasticity, fibrous like, juicy texture, and crumble prevention.
Plant Protein Powder
Adding protein to plant-based meat with PROTIMATE® PG28 , the isolated pea protein powder with firm texture profiles for various meatless product applications.
Plant-based Surimi
I-MEATEX ™ S14, is specially designed for seafood-based products. I-MEATEX ™ S14 is an integrated mixture of plant-protein and food texturizer, providing firm & elastic, excellent freeze-thaw stability, and high process tolerance.
Eggless Sponge Cake
Our S-TEX V1 is specially developed as an egg replacer. S-TEX V1 provides excellent emulsifying properties inside the batter. During baking the foamy structure of baked products is improved and maintained, resulting in a desirable soft texture. S-TEX V1 is applicable for various kinds of sponge cakes and meets vegan-label requirements.
Plant-based Coffee Creamer
The target is to maintain a smooth and creamy mouthfeel in dairy-free coffee creamer identified as a healthy vegan choice. Plant-based ingredients such as almond, oat, and coconut milk are a common choice as milk replacers in dairy-free creamer. However, the lack of milk protein, especially sodium caseinate, results in poor emulsion, lack of whiteness, and creamy mouthfeel.
To overcome these challenges, KREAM® VG is specially developed for dairy-free creamer. It achieves high-oil loading, excellent emulsion stability, smooth and creamy mouthfeel. As a milk protein replacer, KREAM®VG is suitable for all kinds of spray-dried fat powder.
Vegan Coconut Creamer
Coconut creamer is a popular addition to many kinds of foods and beverages. Coconut creamer provides appetizing taste, odor, and mouthfeel. Coconut cream is usually produced in powder form for convenient use. In a regular coconut creamer sodium caseinate derived from milk protein is still applied as an emulsifier.
To meet the needs of plant-based solutions, SMS offers a vegan solution with KREAM®VG, modified tapioca starch, serving as an excellent emulsifier in oil-based products and as a sodium caseinate replacer in vegan coconut creamer.
