Mushroom fat replacer for animal- & plant based products

It looks like fat, it acts like fat but it is not fat!

Fat plays a crucial role in the development and characteristics of animal- and plant-based products. In traditional meat products, fats are naturally present within animal tissues. How-ever, plant-based alternatives must incorporate fats to replicate similar textures, flavours, and mouthfeel. The primary challenges in developing these meat substitutes are achieving the right taste and texture (juiciness).

Balancing juiciness, tenderness and flavour in animal- and plant-based meat products

Reducing saturated fat

Fungible helps to create a better nutritional profile is it contains only 15% of fat compared to other vegetable fats. Resulting in a reduction in product calories. The strong reduction in saturated fat improves the Nutri-Score rating.

Improving bite & succulence 

The fibrous nature of mushrooms interacts with the natural binding which enhances water retention. This gives a firm texture that mimics fat’s mouthfeel. The moisture-retaining properties ensure products to stay juicy and flavourful, even after processing.

Natural umami taste

Mushrooms are rich in umami, masking plant protein off-tastes and enhancing flavours. Their earthy, meaty notes add meat-like richness, while Fungible boosts juiciness for a more enjoyable eating experience.
