Clean-label organic plant protein
Globally we need to rethink how we grow, produce and consume our food. With a growing population, we must take actions to prevent food scarcity, climate change, loss of biodiversity and hunger. There is no silver bullet on how to face these massive challenges, but a holistic approach that not only focuses on production but also at environmental aspects might be part of the solution.
Globally, there is a growing market for plant-based alternatives to meat, but few of them are clean-labeled. The Danish company Organic Plant Protein fills a gap in the market with their plant-based organic brand that is produced without the use of isolates.
Locally sourced plant protein following the organic principles
Organic Plant Protein produces organic plant protein products for retail, foodservice and food manufacturers. The products are based on concentrates from peas, faba beans and press cake flour from sunflowers and are available in several product ranges, including Plant Mate 8020, Plant Mate Amino100 and Plant Mate SunbeanPro.
The protein concentrates are produced in a dry mechanical process without the use of water and chemicals. This helps maintain nutrients from the raw materials while supporting Organic Plant Protein’s organic principles.
PRODUCES TEXTURED PLANT PROTEINS THROUGH A DRY MECHANICAL PROCESS WITHOUT THE USE OF WATER OR CHEMICALS
For the extrusion process to work, the protein flour must have a very high protein content. In order not to compromise on the organic principles, Organic Plant Protein has as one of the first in the world been able to extrude plant protein without the use of isolates.
Organic Plant Protein’s products can be used in both vegan and vegetarian dishes and as meat extenders. The dry products can be stored at ambient temperature and are available in different sizes and textures, making them suitable for a wide range of applications such as mince, slices, shreds, flakes and chunks.
High protein content without the use of chemicals
The raw materials are organically grown and sourced from Denmark and other countries in Northern Europe. Organic Plant Protein also works with organic farmers and organisations to support the development of more legumes in crop rotation and increase the share of Danish-grown raw materials over time.
By combining organic principles, clean-label processing and plant-based protein innovation, Organic Plant Protein supports the transition towards more sustainable and healthy diets.
