In search of a healthier, more balanced and, above all, responsible diet
Healthy products and clean labels are no longer enough to reassure many consumers. Factors such as food safety, animal welfare, and climate change are influencing our food choices now more than ever. In this context, plant-based alternatives to fish are also beginning to gain prominence.
It's a fact: plant-based foods are gaining ground in global nutrition. The consumption of plant-based meat and dairy alternatives is becoming increasingly widespread. But… what about fish?
Interest in plant-based substitutes for fish and seafood is also growing. However, achieving the right taste, appearance, and texture poses a challenge for manufacturers. Furthermore, the use of certain additives may conflict with the demand for more natural and sustainable formulations.
Add natural fish flavor and aroma with Savor-Lyfe® FB
This challenge presents a great opportunity for plant-based proteins. Thanks to their characteristics and versatility, they make it possible to develop new alternatives to fish without sacrificing an appealing sensory experience.
In this vein, Lallemand has developed Savor-Lyfe® FB, a yeast extract capable of providing a white fish flavor base. It also delivers umami notes and a long-lasting flavor profile.
Available in powder form, it adds a seafood flavor to a wide variety of recipes and formulations. It is also suitable for both plant-based applications and conventional products.
A Sea of Possibilities for Plant-Based Alternatives to Fish
Savor-Lyfe® FB can help you enhance the flavor of various applications:
- Alternatives to fish and shellfish: plant-based surimi, vegan fish n uggets …
- Processed fish: crab balls, fish tofu, surimi...
- Soups and sauces of plant or animal origin.
