Loryma develops vegan fish alternative: ‘Functional wheat can authentically replicate the muscle meat of fish’ German wheat specialist Loryma has developed a new concept for vegan fish alternatives that leverages functional wheat ingredients to replicate the muscle meat of fish. The company says this speaks directly to the challenge of producing whole plant-based fillets.
Loryma has developed a process to combine various functional wheat ingredients, such as starches and proteins, that interact to ‘authentically replicate the muscle meat of fish’ and ‘provide typical mouth feel’.
According to managing director Henrik Hetzer, the company’s efforts in the field speak directly to the challenge of producing whole fillets – as opposed to flaked products.
