Handtmann offers know-how for production of vegan meat substitute
Thanks to the rapidly increasing number of vegetarians and flexitarians, plant-based substitute products as an alternative to conventional meat products are a flourishing growth segment. These plant-based meat analogues, meat imitations, meat alternatives, vegetarian meat products or fake meat products, as meat substitute products are also called, imitate the texture, flavour and appearance of real meat products and are also inspired by their designations. In addition to classics such as vegan mince, an increasing number of new meat substitute products can be found on the shelves. Vegan formed products, which are meat substitutes in all sorts of shapes, are currently particularly in vogue.
The range of formed products is enormous, spanning from red-meat burger patties and white-meat nuggets or sticks to red/white-striped vegan bacon. The technological aspects that need to be paid attention to in the production of these products are as manifold as the products themselves. The wide variety of shapes these products can have different forming systems that can be used for the production of formed products.
