Loryma has developed an alternative product with an authentic taste of wheat protein bacon

A division of the German holding company Crespel & Deiters, an expert on the functional ingredients of Loryma wheat, has come up with an innovative vegan bacon concept that perfectly reproduces the sensory characteristics of its MEAT counterpart. 

The sensation of consistency, indistinguishable from real bacon, is created by the protein component of Lory® Bind, from wheat protein. The simple technology for making alternative proposals is ideal for convenience food manufacturers and the restaurant business.

The demand for meat substitutes is steadily growing. Based on this, food industry enterprises and HoReCa establishments need innovations that make it easy to reproduce the taste of the original product and launch alternative offerings. It is to them that the recipe for the analogue of bacon from Loryma is addressed. By using the concept, manufacturers will be able to expand the range of products for vegans.

The composition of the product includes the patented Lory® Bind component, which ensures that the finished product fully matches the texture of natural bacon. The herbal ingredients that serve as its basis are odorless and have a neutral taste, that is, in terms of initial qualities, they fully meet the requirements for raw materials for the production of meat alternatives. 

The taste of each offer for adherents of vegetarian and vegan diets can be varied due to spices and flavorings in accordance with the recipe. The stable internal structure ensures that the shape of the slices is maintained during frying. Ready-made bacon for vegans is practically indistinguishable from meat bacon in appearance and properties. Toasted thin-fiber slices become just as crispy, and a savory bouquet of spices gives them the expected taste of smoked meat. 

In catering establishments, wheat protein-based products can be used to prepare vegan burgers, tarte flambé open pies, casseroles, salads and other items that are relevant for organizing buffets and ready-made food delivery services. 

Loryma Managing DIRECTOR Henrik Hetzer specified that the raw materials that the company offers to food companies and restaurateurs combine natural composition and versatility. Loryma's extremely easy-to-use developments make it possible to create healthy and commercially viable products in line with the global trend to refuse food of animal origin.
