Veganism - meat substitute of potatoes protein
By Yotam Feldman, January 29, 2009
Veganism is not necessarily related to health or body care. Far from it, many vegans vigorously avoid eating meat, eggs and dairy products to reduce the harm to animals, but enjoy industrial junk food and also very much a piece of bread with a cheap ketchup. The available meat substitutes on the market, from Tivall [the Israeli leader in "meat substitutes" - also very successful internationally] and the like, do not meet the needs because the vast majority contain eggs, whereas Soy, the common meat substitute for vegans, may contain allergens and is not recommended for pregnant women.
Food Engineer (and the rock musician) Zeev Tene says that in 2009 the solution to our problems will come. The Dutch company Solanic, owned by a giant corporation [AVEBE GROUP] that produces potato starch, will begin this year to produce meat substitutes based on potatoes' protein; moreover - also expected to reach the shelves, among others, are Krembo [chocolate-coated marshmallow treat that is very popular in Israel], meringue cakes and burgers, all egg-free.
Solanic's Food Engineer, a Christian who likes Israel, chose to promote the development of the patent specifically here. Tene tells the first few examples are successful, well-tasting and occupy well the functionality of soy and egg powder. "The whipping issue is resolved completely," he says. "On the binding issue we are still working, but are very close to resolution."
