fat, no sugar and only 140 milligrams
of sodium. A gluten-free version will be
available later in the year.
Daring Foods has
formulated a plant-based
product that resembles a
premium chicken tender.
Daring Foods, Los Angeles, replicates
the fibrous texture and succulent
mouthfeel of whole muscle chicken by
using high-moisture extrusion processing
to transform five non-GMO ingredients
- water, soy protein concentrate and
sunflower oil, along with natural flavoring
and spices - into Cajun, lemon herb and
original pieces. The frozen line includes a
seasoned breaded product that resembles
a premium chicken tender.
Sweet Earth Foods is expanding its
Mindful Chik'n Strips line with ready-to-eat
seasoned offerings made with globally inspired
marinades. One serving of the vegan products
contains at least 13 grams of protein. The
new flavors are carnitas, chipotle and Koreanstyle
barbecue.
The Lightlife brand rolled out plant-based
chicken tenders and chicken fillets. The
refrigerated products are made using advanced
high moisture extrusion technology to create a
taste, color and pull-apart texture that mimics
traditional white meat chicken. The three key
ingredients of the non-GMO Project Verified,
vegan certified products are coconut oil, wheat
gluten and pea protein.
Heura, a popular Spanish plant-based meat
brand, yet to be made available in the United
States, developed a burger with 85% less
saturated fat than beef. It uses an innovative
fat analog that transforms extra virgin olive oil
into a solid fat to provide the texture and bite
of beef.
" When we visualize the fat from a burger
or the coconut oil in the supermarket, they
are solid, " said Lorena Salcedo, new product
development manager. " This is because they
both have high contents of saturated fat. We
had to reproduce that with an oil that is liquid
(monounsaturated) and minimize its use to
reduce the amount of fat on the burger. "
There's a new alternative fat technology
