DSM announces the launch of Vertis™ Textured Pea Canola Protein, which the company claims is the world’s only textured vegetable protein (TVP) with all nine essential amino acids necessary to be a complete protein, made without soy, gluten, or dairy.

KMC Develops “World’s First” Texturised Potato Protein

Dutch ingredients company KMC has created texturised potato protein to be used as an ingredient in meat alternatives. The company claims the protein is the first of its kind in the world.

Coperion Discusses Highlights of 2021, Including Development of Innovative New Food Extruder

Industry-leading compounding and extrusion company Coperion has spoken to vegconomist about its highlights of 2021.
