Creaminess comes from fat, not protein. Alternative protein sources are abundant, but the importance of the fat element has been overlooked. Without this, there will be no protein transition.
(TTM) produces and sells plant-based fat ingredient for creamier, healthier and more sustainable plant-based products. TTM’s unsaturated fat ingredients are made through a process that extracts natural fat droplets from seeds, such as sunflower seeds, for sustainable production of fat that is texturally similar to milk cream. European seeds, water and our proprietary processing technology is used to produce ingredients that add an irresistible mouthfeel in our customers’ products. Time-travelling Milkman – developing creamy and healthy fat ingredients.
