Plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy products are market growth drivers. But to be successful, plant-based products have to offer consumers convincing flavour and texture. At this year’s SupplySide West, which is slated to take place in Las Vegas between October 15 and 18, Hydrosol, one of the world’s leading suppliers of stabilising and texturing systems, is presenting the latest generation of functional systems and all-in compounds for making plant-based burger patties, cold cuts and sausages, as well as vegan alternatives to pizza cheese, cream cheese and sour cream.
From burgers to bacon, a wide range of meat alternatives
In the meat category, Hydrosol is focussing on popular products like plant-based burger patties. These can be based on wheat or soy protein and made using Hyrosol’s proven stabilising and texturing systems, or in allergen-free versions using HydroTop Vegan Patty PP.
The system is based on fava bean and pea protein and also contains a sunflower-based texturate. It enables users to make vegan burger patties that are amazingly similar to meat products in taste, texture and mouthfeel.
Another plus point is that with just one E-number, it meets the trend towards declaration-friendly products. With or without soy, these all-in compounds are suitable for many vegan products, from meatball alternatives to vegan cevapcici. They are freeze/thaw-stable and can be worked into ready meals with no problems.
Other products for plant-based meat alternatives are all-in compounds for making vegan cold cuts like salami, bacon, and plant-based sausages for eating hot or cold.
Nuggets, schnitzel, fish sticks and other breaded products are also possible. Visitors can experience the high quality of these products at the Tasting Bar, where Hydrosol will be offering samples of vegan pepperoni.
Vegan dairy alternatives for American foods
Pizza, bagels, burgers – Hydrosol has developed plant-based ingredients for the American classics, including pepperoni and a pizza topping that can substitute for cheese.
Like traditional pizza cheese, this vegan product has very good melt properties, which is not always the case with vegan alternatives.
This plant-based topping is also stringy when hot, a critical factor for cheese intended for melted toppings.
In the cream cheese category, Hydrosol offers a texturing system that can be used to make vegan bagel spreads, plain or with herbs or other additional ingredients.
The company’s vegan sour cream alternative is an answer to the growing consumer demand for clean label products. This plant-based sour cream is free of e-numbers, and the taste is indistinguishable from the animal product.
It is based on an almond drink and coconut fat. Together with its stabilising and texturing system, it gives a topping for burgers and burritos or a dip for potato wedges and chips.
In recent years, the company has made a name for itself as a source of full-service solutions for plant-based products that sell well.
At SupplySide West, the company will show highlights like its all-in package for vegetarian burgers. It contains meatless burger patties, bacon, and a sauce that uses no egg yolk, plus a vegan sliced cheese alternative that melts easily and harmonises well with the final product.
