Shiru’s first range of ingredients is tackling the functional aspects of gelation for plant-based foods.
If you can ace the functionality of gelation in your plant-based foods – you can ace in the marketplace. We all know when consumers purchase plant-based foods, they expect the alternatives to look, feel, and taste just like the original. But in order for that to happen, the products need to cook similarly too. Most of that cooking transformation is due to the functionality of gelation. Most food products that use ingredients from animals- for example eggs or gelatin – go through structural changes during cooking (heating) forming solid or semi-solid characteristics.
However, animals are not necessary for this process to occur. So we enlisted our discovery platform, Flourish, to find the best performing gelation ingredients nature has to offer – to help you – and consumers – enjoy great tasting foods, without the reliance on animals.
