TEXTURED PLANT-BASED PROTEINS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the production of Textured Vegetable Proteins (TVP) using Clextral's twin-screw extrusion systems. TVP is a sustainable, environmentally-friendly protein source used as a meat substitute or in various plant-based dishes.
Specifications: The extrusion process allows for variable output capacities ranging from 20 kg/h to 4000 kg/h, depending on the raw materials used. The technology supports a wide range of finished products, from basic commodities to sophisticated foods, with the ability to create various shapes through different dies and cutters.
Raw Materials: The process utilizes low-fat soy flour, defatted soy flour, soy concentrate, soy isolate, pea isolate, pea concentrate, wheat gluten, and other protein sources like fava bean, lentil, and sunflower. Additional ingredients such as starch, cereal flour, salt, flavor, and coloring may be added for certain products.
Process Description: TVP is produced through low moisture extrusion cooking, where raw materials, die and screw designs, and operating conditions are adjusted to achieve desired qualities like bulk density, water holding capacity, texture, and shape. The extrusion process involves conveying, compression, melting, and cooking, followed by shaping and sizing at the die. The product is then dried to a moisture content of around 8%.
Advantages: The process ensures precise control over water holding capacity and consistent results with traceability. Expert advice and testing facilities are available for designing new products and recipes.
Certifications: Clextral holds ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management and ISO 14001:2015 for Environmental Management.
Contact Information: Clextral's headquarters are located in Firminy, France, with sales teams available worldwide via email.
