What is Protein Aeration
Technology?

The next generation of meat substitutes.

0%
In using Protein Aeration Technology, gas is
injected into the extruder to create a
microporous structure in the product. When
the product leaves the cooling die, gas
expansion is achieved between the protein
fibers.
This helps to generate biting properties and
mouthfeel closer to meat or fish.
Products are lighter and look just like real
chicken.

gas injection
Protein Aeration Technology changes the colour and texture of your
product according to your needs.

These unique novel textures can be adjusted by injecting different volumes of gas. This provides a great degree of
versatility, ranging from a simple color change to generating softer textures, such as those used in seafood and fish
substitutes.
