Nestle launches soy-based plant-based egg powder

 Nestle, under its Mahler brand, has launched a powdered plant-based protein that consumers can add to egg dishes such as omelets, allowing them to create cheap but still nutritious dishes.

The product, which uses soybeans as a raw material, is not intended to replace eggs on its own. Using plant-based egg protein powder will result in dishes that have the same protein as traditional eggs, less saturated fat and cholesterol, and are less expensive.

Torsten Pohl, Head of Nestlé Food Product and Technology Center said:

"Eggs are one of the most widely used sources of protein. With this unique solution, we hope to provide an affordable, nutritious solution that can be used to replace some eggs when cooking egg-based dishes. The plant-based egg powder It also brings in the same amount of high-quality protein, with less cholesterol, while ensuring great taste and texture."

Soft launch in Central America

Nestlé is currently testing the product under the Malher brand in some stores in Central America and is planning to roll it out to more countries in Latin America.

Lourdes Muñoz, Nestlé Central America Regional Manager, said:

"We are excited to test this new concept in Central America, where egg dishes are a primary source of protein for many. By replacing some egg protein with this shelf-stable plant-based food, we will not only provide an affordable alternative, And it will also provide a sustainable alternative that many people can use when making breakfast, lunch or dinner."

In addition to being an affordable alternative for consumers, the shelf-stable protein also has advantages for food operators in countries with limited refrigerated supply chains, the Swiss food giant said.

Brazil's largest egg producer launches plant-based egg N.Ovo

Nestle's plant-based egg powder is not the first big brand in Latin America to launch an egg substitute. In 2019, Brazil's Grupo Mantiqueira, South America's largest egg producer, launched its first plant-based egg product. The product, called N.Ovo - from the words "egg" and "new" - is made from pea protein, pea starch and flaxseed.

Use of soy silk drawing protein

图片
The soy silk drawing protein is a fibrous plant protein with a texture similar to muscle fiber formed by the production and processing of soy protein through a special process. The classification of soy silk drawing protein is divided according to its structure. There are thick silk type, thin silk type, soft silk type, hard silk type, smooth silk, astringent silk, etc. According to the different silk structure and the tensile strength of the silk, how much A combination of plant silk protein can be used to produce ham sausage, minced meat, beef jerky and canned food. The taste of the food is basically the same as ordinary meat food, but the price of plant silk protein is only 1/of the lean pork. 5. The protein content is equivalent to 2-3 times that of fish, meat, and eggs.

 According to market needs, through the selection of different proteases, the adjustment of process conditions and the degree of hydrolysis, a variety of products with different functional characteristics can be developed and produced. (1)Injectable protein isolate :  The product is used in the salted solution for injection of whole meat products, which can reduce the cooking loss of meat products and improve the quality of individual rows and cut surfaces of meat products. Since the product is usually added in a relatively small amount, below 3%, it is not necessary to strictly control the bitterness. Such products are required to have a lower viscosity, and at the same time, the increase in foaming properties and the decrease in gel properties must be controlled within a certain range. The viscosity is mainly determined by the molecular mass of the protein. The greater the molecular mass, the greater the viscosity. 80% of soybean protein has a molecular mass of more than 100,000 and
