Revyve Launches Egg Replacer for Plant-Based Burgers at IFT FIRST

Revyve has introduced a new egg replacer ingredient designed specifically for plant-based burgers at the IFT FIRST event. This innovative product aims to enhance the texture and taste of plant-based burgers, offering a sustainable and effective alternative to traditional eggs. The launch showcases Revyve's commitment to developing high-quality, plant-based ingredients that cater to the growing demand for sustainable and healthy food options in the market.

Wageningen, the Netherlands:
Boston Brand Media brings you the latest news - FoodTech company Revyve has successfully developed a method to eliminate animal-derived texturizers and additives from burgers while providing a meaty texture. By introducing an innovative high-performance egg-replacement ingredient at IFT FIRST 2024, Revyve is revolutionizing food texture. This ingredient offers the sensory experience that consumers desire. It is a clean, minimally processed egg alternative, and it is the first of its kind to be available on a large commercial scale.

Eggs: The "Bread and Butter" of Texture
For generations, eggs have been essential texturizers and binders in processed foods like meat and plant-based burgers. Manufacturers are now looking to replace eggs with more sustainable and ethical options. Eggs have become less appealing due to fluctuating prices, unstable supply, food safety concerns, and allergy risks.

Mimicking the performance of eggs without using stealth starches, emulsifiers, unfamiliar binders, and E-numbers is a challenging task. Consumers are not willing to compromise on the unique texture and mouthfeel that eggs provide in burgers and other foods.

Boston Brand Media also found that flexitarians and environmentally conscious food enthusiasts do not want to compromise on the appearance and texture of plant-based foods, especially burgers. They also prefer cleaner food with simple, easy-to-understand ingredients.

Revyve has developed texturizing ingredients from upcycled brewer’s yeast that create an appealing food experience. Cedric Verstraeten, CEO of Revyve, stated, “The science-backed ingredients Revyve has pioneered produce the sensory appeal that consumers want in burgers. Revyve delivers the meatiness and juicy firmness that cater to consumer appetites. These nutritious, wholesome ingredients are all-natural and non-GMO. More innovations are coming in Q3 2024 with the release of our gluten-free, allergen-free ingredients.”
