Vegan Premixes

Applicable in: Meat and fish analogues, vegetarian processed foods, dairy free drinks

Overview
There is a global shift towards vegan and vegetarianism in the recent years. In the EU alone, 10% of the population follows a vegan or vegetarian diet. The numbers are constantly on the rise owing to awareness to environmental effects of meat consumption. While the paradigm shift is beneficial for the environment, vegans and vegetarians are at the risk of contracting vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Calcium, Iron and Zinc are predominantly abundant in meat sources thus rendering their fortification in meat replacers an absolute necessity. Processed foods such as meat analogues mimic the taste and texture of meat to a great extent satiating the tastebuds of many. Vitamin and mineral fortification of these processed food can provide the consumer with sufficient nutrition along with the taste.
