ROVITARIS Binding Solution

Application

  • Plant-Based Meat and Seafood: Replaces methylcellulose to improve texture, binding, and nutritional value.
  • Sustainable Food Production: Uses Rubi Protein from lemna leaf, offering a more sustainable and digestible ingredient for plant-based products.

Description

ICL Food Specialties and Plantible Foods have developed ROVITARIS Binding Solution, a clean-label alternative to methylcellulose for plant-based meat and seafood. Made with Rubi Protein from lemna leaf, it offers superior binding, texture, and nutritional benefits, including a high protein content and better digestibility. The solution is more sustainable, with lemna protein requiring less water and growing on non-arable land. ROVITARIS addresses consumer concerns about highly processed ingredients while maintaining the desired functionality in plant-based products.

Pathway Description:

The process used in this project involves chemicaly extracting Rubi Protein from lemna leaf through a patented method. The protein is then formulated into the ROVITARIS Binding Solution, a clean-label alternative to methylcellulose. This protein-based solution is highly soluble and forms a gel at low temperatures, providing excellent binding and texture for plant-based meat and seafood. The process is more sustainable, requiring less water and using non-arable land for lemna cultivation
