Dive Brief:
Motif FoodWorks has received exclusive access to two technologies to improve plant-based food. One is an extrudable fat technology that can create more authentic fat textures in plant-based meat, and the other is a prolamin technology using plant-based ingredients to improve the texture of plant-based cheese.
These technologies came to Motif through its ongoing partnership with Canada s University of Guelph and tech company Coasun s founder Alejandro Marangoni, who is a research chair at the university. Motif has acquired the fat technology from Coasun and is licensing the prolamin technology from the university.
Plant-based foods are often at a competitive disadvantage because they don t behave like their animal-based equivalents. Some of the conventional ingredient solutions to bridge this gap are high in saturated fats and not healthy.
