PLANT-BASED APPLICATIONS

Plant-based meat alternatives have become an important part of the food industry, with continued development of ingredients and flavor solutions that help create the flavor experience associated with traditional meat products.

Flavor solutions can contribute to the savory, meaty, grilled, and smoky character that consumers look for in plant-based meat alternatives. Smoke flavors can play a key role in these formulations by enhancing the overall flavor profile and adding anything from a subtle background smoke note to a stronger, authentic wood-smoked character.

• SMOKESTREAM™ enhances the overall flavor profile. Can add anything from a subtle background smoke note to a stronger, authentic wood-smoked character.
• SUNSTREAM™ provides grill flavors suitable for plant-based meats. The range delivers rich grilled, fatty, and meaty top notes balanced by clean roast and a gentle touch of char, helping build a more complete grilled flavor profile.
• FIRESTREAM™ offers naturally smoked ingredients including salts, sugars, oils, vinegars, spices, garlic, onion, and chipotle. These ingredients can provide anything from a light background smoke note to a strong smoke impact and are suitable for plant-based meat alternatives.
• GOLDENSTREAM™ browning agents can be used to develop an attractive brown appearance. Smoke flavors and browning agents can also be applied to the outside of plant-based products using processing approaches similar to those used for traditional smoked meat products.

Together, these solutions provide flexible building blocks for developing the desired savory flavor, smoke character, grill notes, and color depending on the formulation and finished product.
