Gavan Technologies, an Israeli food technology company that specializes in leveraging natural products to create alternative proteins, has devised a novel fat substitute that offers reliable cooking and flavor but with none of the animal products commonly found in conventional fats.
The 'FaTRIX' protein-based fat substitutes comprise a trio of key natural ingredients, with extracted protein serving as a foundation for the binding of water and plant oil to make for a fat substitute fortified with proteins and devoid of animal-derived ingredients. By including only water, vegetable oil and plant-based proteins, the 'FaTRIX' fat substitutes can easily claim to be comprised of clean ingredients, with the product's performance attributes apparent in the manner in which it performs in high-temperature cooking.
This heat-resistant fat substitute also reduces saturated fats and has an authentic texture that will make it easy to adopt into a variety of applications, which will make it crucial in appealing to food manufacturers looking to cater to wellness-minded and ethically aware customers.
