Vegetable proteins for the food industry

Choose a natural protein alternative

Vegetable proteins are an important source of essential amino acids. Moreover, you can use them to replace animal proteins and improve the texture of your product, for example, a meat substitute. In this way you can respond to all kinds of contemporary beliefs.

Besides the classic forms of soy, wheat and pea proteins, we also offer textured vegetable proteins. The latter are made from protein-rich raw materials and contain a high content of flavorful amino acids. They are available in powder, paste and liquid form

HVP| hydrolyzed vegetable protein

Hydrolysed vegetable proteins are produced from high-protein raw materials. The HVP's consist of a high content of flavouring amino acids. They are used as a flavour enhancer in various processed foods such as soups, sauces, stocks, ready-to-use dishes,...

Vegetable proteins

SNICK EuroIngredients has put together a range of vegetable proteins.

Soy protein: Provides a very good fibrous structure and is widely available due to the global supply.
Pea protein: High quality protein, with a minimum protein content of 80% with no allergen declaration required. Easily digestible with a wide functionality, from providing solubility, emulsifying and binding properties, to improving texture and mouth feel.
Wheat protein: Gluvital® vital wheat gluten is the insoluble protein fraction of wheat flour. It is distinguished from other vegetable proteins by its unique viscoelastic properties. It is mainly used in pasta and baked goods but is also suitable for snacks and breakfast cereals.

TVP| Texturized vegetable proteins

The fibrous structure of textured proteins is reminiscent of meat. It is therefore often used in meat replacement products such as burgers, nuggets and other snacks. The meaty structure is obtained by extrusion. Our TVP comes from soya, wheat or pea, whereby the proteins are pressed through a mould under pressure and high temperature. In this way, we obtain the desired structure in different shapes and sizes, depending on the desired application.

Request our catalogue and find out which TVP is suitable for your product.
