The Future of Plant-Based Meat
High-Moisture Extrusion Technology (HME)
At CREMER Sustainable Foods, we are committed to innovation, sustainability, and quality in the production of plant-based meat alternatives.
By utilizing state-of-the-art High-Moisture Extrusion (HME) technology, we create high-performance, fibrous plant-based proteins that closely replicate the texture, bite, and juiciness of real meat.
As the demand for nutritious, sustainable food solutions continues to rise, our HME-based products offer a superior alternative for food manufacturers and foodservice providers seeking authentic, high-quality meat substitutes that meet consumer expectations.
High-Performance, Fibrous Plant-Based Proteins
What is High-Moisture Extrusion (HME)?
High-Moisture Extrusion (HME) is an advanced food processing technology that transforms plant-based raw materials (such as soy, pea, or wheat protein) into realistic meat-like textures. This process involves high moisture content, controlled temperature, and precise pressure, allowing proteins to form a fibrous structure that mimics the consistency and mouthfeel of animal meat.
Unlike traditional methods, HME does not require drying before use, preserving the natural juiciness and tenderness of the final product. This makes it an ideal solution for burgers, nuggets, fillets, and other plant-based meat alternatives that require an authentic meat texture.
Clean label advantage: HME enables the creation of realistic, meat-like textures without the need for additives, making it ideal for clean label formulations.
Key Advantages of High-Moisture Extrusion Technology
- Realistic meat texture
HME technology creates fibrous, layered protein structures that deliver the chew and mouthfeel of real meat. This results in a satisfying, meat-like bite that enhances the consumer experience.
- Versatility for various applications
CREMER's HME process can be adapted to work with a variety of plant-based protein sources, including soy, pea, and wheat, allowing manufacturers to develop customized meat alternatives with unique textures, flavors, and nutritional benefits.
