GoodMills Innovation Launches Co-Extruded Wheat and Fava Protein Flakes to Improve Fibrous Texture in Plant-Based Foods

GoodMills Innovation has introduced VITATEX® Wheat Fava Flakes SVP Pro, a co-extruded protein flake that enhances texture and stability in plant-based meat alternatives. Created through a co-extrusion process, the protein matrix offers distinct layering and a firm bite, making it ideal for applications like pulled meat, sliced products, and stir-fried dishes. The ingredient is designed to withstand various processing conditions without compromising its structural integrity, absorbing flavors well and allowing for easy coloration.

The combination of wheat and fava bean proteins in VITATEX® Wheat Fava Flakes SVP Pro provides a balanced amino acid profile, with fava beans compensating for low lysine content in wheat. Produced sustainably with ingredients from European suppliers, the ingredient is clean label, non-GMO, and supports both large-scale and smaller production operations. GoodMills Innovation offers technical support and application expertise to assist manufacturers in utilizing the new texturate in product development and implementation, showcasing its versatility and nutritional benefits in the plant-based food industry.
