Supertex is a unique blend of textured vegetable proteins suitable for use in a variety of vegetarian and meat products. Supertex is a mix of high-quality, vegetable ingredients, including wheat, produced in a twin-screw extruder system.

 

The blend’s proteins form into a matrix  once hydrated expands into a fibrous structure with a superb meat like texture. The result is a juicy, pleasantly chewy vegetarian option with excellent textural qualities, superior water-holding capacity, neutral taste and pale color that can be customized to fit a wide choice of flavor profiles.

 

The product is easy to work with. Instead of sourcing and blending functional agents, textured ingredients, stabilizers and texturizing materials, Supertex can be used as an easy and reliable all-in-one solution for vegetarian and meat applications.

 

A wide range of products with different protein levels and texture profiles are available to meet client requerments.

Applications

 

Pre-hydrated Supertex in an excess of hot water can be shredded into fibrous, muscle-like texture, ground  by meat mincer or chopped in a bowl chopper fora more uniform texture similar to that of frankfurters. Supertex can be used in a wide range of end products from burger-style items and deli slices to meatless sausages and even restructured hams. Once hydrated, it’s as chewy as meat with a clean taste that can serve as a vehicle for any type of flavor or seasoning.
