They cure and add a special flavour to meat products.

Extruded vegetable proteins (EVP)

Vegetable proteins are extruded using the latest method in the higher humidity than before, therefore the product obtained after hydration is characterised by the fibre structure similar to the fibre structure of the meat.

EVP can replace meat in the meat products in the amount of 30-40%.

2x times stronger than garlic/onion dried in powder

Benefits of use

Natural product
Production repeatability – the extracts are standardised products
Microbiological purity for safe use also in articles without thermal treatment
Fixed price and quality – the manufacturer has got its own plantations, therefore the extracts are more resistant to market fluctuations of prices and availability
Through encapsulating, the extract is released in the product evenly and remains more noticeable and at a constant level.
Extracts of garlic do not change colour and structure of the final products (do not contain enzymes).
