Loryma offers application possibilities for creating deli and frozen food products, as well as a classic canned plant-based tuna version.

 

Plant-based tuna’s texture 

Different varieties of fish kept on ice.Fish stocks are becoming increasingly scarce due to overfishing of the oceans.The company says that manufacturers can adapt and flavor all concepts individually.

In order to achieve a realistic texture, fine Lory Tex Snips and long, fibrous Lory Tex Fibres are mixed and then rehydrated with water. This blend can be further processed with colorings and flavorings to prepare various products such as meatballs, deli salads and toppings for frozen foods.

For an authentic eating experience, Loryma has also developed a recipe for fish-free tuna in a can. The concept combines Lory Tex Snips and Lory Tex Fibres with the wheat protein-based binder Lory Bind and the modified wheat starch Lory Starch Pearl. 

The result is a bound mass with a loose texture that is then soaked in oil and packed in cans. 

The product is heated in an autoclave under high pressure, the same as conventional tuna. 

This process allows for a long shelf life while the heat- and process-stable ingredients maintain optimal sensory properties.

The canned tuna alternative can be used in the same way as the original, for example, as a pizza or salad topping.

“Fish stocks are becoming increasingly scarce due to overfishing of the oceans. Therefore, we offer a sustainable, authentic alternative using wheat, which we source mainly regionally in Germany. The sensory properties of our vegan version are every bit as good as the original,” says Norbert Klein, head of research & development at Loryma.

“In addition, we are more than happy to support our customers in the development process and to customize the concept according to their own ideas.”

Loryma is a Crespel & Deiters group member and producer of globally distributed wheat proteins, native and modified wheat starches, extrudates and functional blends.
