KMC makes breakthrough with Danish potato protein to improve plant-based meat solutions<\/h1>\/ in Product news<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/header>\n<\/div><\/section>

Danish ingredients company KMC has created textured potato protein that can be used as an ingredient in plant-based meat. The unique properties of potato protein has the potential to revolutionize plant-based meat products with improved texture and nutritional values.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The plant-based meat market will grow significantly over the coming years. Consumers to reduce their meat intake but lack innovative options at supermarkets that will help ease the transition towards a plant-based diet.<\/p>\n

KMC has extracted potato protein powder ingredient and turned it into a product with a structure very similar to meat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This innovation is significant as potato protein has properties that are especially relevant as an ingredient in meat supplements. Textured potato protein has high nutritional values, a meat-like structure and frying crust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTextured potato protein has the properties that we know a lot of consumers look for when eating plant-based products. There is as huge potential in potato protein as a food ingredient. Our goal at KMC is to drive the transition from animal-based ingredients to plant-based ingredients, and on this journey, we have made a real breakthrough towards better products for the consumer with this innovation,\u201d said Jesper Burgaard, CEO at KMC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started the production of potato protein for consumer products in 2019 because of the potential of the nutritional value as an ingredient. But as a powder product, potato protein did not add any functional properties. Now, with our new texturing technique, potato protein can add meat-like structure to products and is therefore ideal to use in meat supplements.\u201d<\/p>\n

The development of the potato protein is a part of KMCs innovation programme where they create plant-based ingredients that can replace animal-based ingredients in food. KMC is able to produce the potato protein at a large scale and will be able to produce 300 tons of textured protein in 2022 and expects to scale the production significantly in the following years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSustainability and business go hand in hand at KMC. With our new product we can offer a climate friendly protein produced by Danish potato farmers to consumers across the globe. We strongly believe that textured potato protein will play a crucial part in the development of new plant-based solution to the consumers of the world,\u201d said Burgaard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
