Vegetarian or vegan alternatives to animal products can no longer be overlooked on supermarket shelves. In Germany, around seven million people already eat a vegetarian diet, more than one percent of the population even lives vegan, and more and more consumers are calling themselves flexitarians. However, the desire of many people for plant-based alternatives that have a meat-like structure, natural ingredients and, above all, convincing taste, poses challenges for the food industry. Taiyo is an expert in functional ingredients and supplies Vegemeat, a plant-based meat alternative made from pea protein. The granules are 100 percent natural, free of additives and preservatives, and also allergen-free: perfect for soups, bolognese, lasagnas and the like.
At Fi/Hi Europe in Frankfurt, Taiyo introduced Vegemeat, a new natural meat alternative for minced meat dishes. The granulated pea protein targets consumers not wanting to miss out on a minced meat-like texture. It is especially suitable for people on a vegan or low-meat diet who suffer from intolerances and thus pay close attention to ingredients.
Teavigo® is an innovative product that has many dynamic uses. It is made from high quality green tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant. Teavigo® consists of a high polyphenol tea extract that has numerous biochemical and physiological benefits such as antioxidant, anti-microbial, deodorant and thermogenic (fat burning) activities.
Vegemeat is a vegan meat alternative based on pea protein. Due to the minced meat-like texture and the spicy taste, the vegan pea protein granules can be used in dishes such as Bolognese or Lasagne. It can be fried like minced meat in the pan, or it can be used as a substitute for a recipe. Particular advantages of Vegemeat are the high protein content of more than 75g / 100g, the non-existent pea taste and the pleasant consistency. It is also preservative-free and low in carbohydrates.
Matcha Powder is an innovative product that has many dynamic uses. It is made from organic grinded premium green tea leaves (Matcha) and it is a savoured taste of Japan. Matcha provides products with a smooth, excellent tea flavour and it contains a high amount of polyphenols, vitamin K and manganese. Taiyo’s Matcha undergoes extensive safety and pesticide testing in every production batch, in order to provide safe and creditable products.
MD products are dried and expanded crisps, flakes or cubes. The products can be flavoured, coloured and sweetened as needed and the composition can be highly customized. MD products can be made of many materials such as starch, protein or dietary fiber and can be combined with nutrients such as minerals, trace-elements, amino acids or other health ingredients. The mixtures are dried and expanded by microwave, granulated under dry conditions and a fiber shape product. Volume, crispiness and the speed of re-absorption of water by the products can be adjusted by variating these drying conditions.
WGCP™ is made from entire raw unroasted coffee beans that are processed by a patented technology (Deep temperature Cryo-Milling under inert-gas atmosphere) into a powder that is still rich in fiber, acids and other nutrients that offer many health benefits. WGCP™, is not an extract. WGCP™ is a natural food source and it can be added to various food applications or used as dietary supplement.
Sunphenon® is an innovative product that has many dynamic uses. It is made from high quality green tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant. Sunphenon® consists of a series of tea extracts that have numerous biochemical and physiological benefits such as antioxidant, anti-microbial, deodorant and thermogenic (fat burning) activities.
