PG Megan DeVelvis KMC Potato Protein to Improve Plant-Based Meat Solutions Innovative Danish ingredients company KMC has managed to create textured potato protein that can be used as an ingredient in "plant-based meat." The unique properties of potato protein have the potential to revolutionize plant-based meat products with an improved texture and nutritional values. The innovation is part of KMC's strategy to find new uses for potato-based ingredients. KMC has managed to innovate extracted potato protein from being a powder ingredient to being a product with a structure very similar to meat. This innovation can revolutionize the plant- based products available to consumers, as potato protein has properties that are especially relevant as an ingredient in meat supplements. Potato protein is especially relevant as a meat replacement, as it contains all the essential amino acids. Furthermore, the combination of amino acids present is very well-balanced, which puts the nutritional value of the protein near the same level as meat. Learn more at www.kmc.dk. Textured potato protein excels thanks to a nutritional value that matches meat, having a meat-like structure, and an ability to retain a meat-like frying crust.
