Whether you're looking to create burgers, fishcakes, or other plant-based alternatives, we've got you covered. Explore our selection of ingredients to elevate your recipes and cater to a diverse range of dietary preferences and needs.

Importance of Ingredient Selection

Taste & Flavour

Mimicking Animal Products – Plant-based meat and fish alternatives must closely mimic the taste of their animal-based counterparts to also appeal to non-vegan and flexitarians. Ingredients like soy, pea protein, and flavour enhancers are carefully chosen to replicate the savoury, umami flavour of meat and fish.

Natural Flavour Enhancers – Certain ingredients can enhance the umami flavour naturally, making the product more appealing without relying on artificial additives.

Texture & Mouthfeel

Protein Structure – The texture of meat and fish is largely due to their fibrous protein structure. Ingredients, such as Soy Protein Isolate, can be used to create a similar fibrous, chewy texture of meat and fish.

Binding – Ingredients, such as Xanthan Gum, help bind plant-based ingredients together and provide the chewiness or flakiness characteristic of meat and fish.

 

Nutritional Value

Protein Content – Plant-based alternatives need to provide comparable protein content to their counterparts. Legumes, grains and nuts are rich in protein and are thus favoured.

Vitamins and Minerals – Ingredients with vitamins B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids are essential to make these alternatives nutritionally similar to meat and fish.

Dietary Fibre – Plant-based alternatives often have higher fibre content due to the use of whole grains, legumes, etc., contributing to a healthier diet.

Health Considerations

Clean Label – Consumer increasingly prefer products with simple, recognisable ingredients. Natural and minimally processed ingredients should be selected to meet this demand.

Allergen Management – Ingredients can be chosen to avoid the use of common allergens, such as gluten and soy, to make the products accessible to a wider audience.

 

Consumer Acceptance

Sensory Appeal – The overall sensory experience, including appearance, aroma, taste, and texture, is crucial for consumer acceptance. Ingredient selection directly impacts these attributes.

Cultural Relevance – Ingredients that align with regional tastes and dietary habits can increase acceptance in different markets.

Dietary Fibre in Plant-Based Meat

Plant-based meat and fish alternatives often contain dietary fibre, which is typically absent in their animal-based counterparts. These alternatives are designed to mimic the taste and texture of meat and fish whilst improving digestive health, promoting fullness, and regulating blood sugar levels, offering a well-rounded nutritional profile.
