German ingredients manufacturer Loryma has unveiled a new plant-based bacon concept, following the development of a new wheat-based formula.
According to a statement from Loryma, the new plant-based bacon concept replicates the mouthfeel and sensory characteristics of traditional bacon thanks to the combination of the company’s wheat-based Lory Bind binding component and a bacon spice blend.
Loryma states that the wheat-based binder provides an irreversible internal structure, meaning that when prepared in a pan, the vegan bacon concept behaves like its traditional meat counterpart; becoming crispy on the outside while retaining a delicate, fibrous texture.
The plant-based bacon concept can be used for a variety of foodservice, catering or convenience applications, and can be used in the same manner as traditional bacon.
Loryma’s Lory Bind’s functional starch blends are odourless and neutral in taste, which makes them suitable for a number of vegan and vegetarian meat alternatives, which can then be seasoned to achieve similar taste characteristics to the products they seek to replicate.
Henrik Hetzer, managing director of Loryma, said: “Our raw materials combine naturalness with maximum functionality.
“In addition to uncomplicated handling, they offer manufacturers the opportunity to create healthy and sure-fire products that perfectly meet the current consumer trend for meat-free convenience foods.”
