MirrorTissue
Specialty designed for the manufacture of plant-based products that mimics the animal fatty tissue.
To create MirrorTissue, during two years we studied the intricate structure and composition of animal tissues, focusing particularly on adipose tissue, fat cells, and their interactions with surrounding tissues. Simultaneously, we conducted a thorough analysis of the requirements within the plant-based market, striving to create a product that goes beyond consumer expectations.
MirrorTissue offers multiple alternatives for manufacturers looking to meet the needs of the end consumer, and it can also be flavored to taste similar to beef, chicken, or pork.
Our technology stands out as an alternative for coconut oil, as during the cooking process, it control the release of fat*, allowing the cooked product to maintain an appearance similar to animal tissue.*
(*Less fat release versus products made with coconut oil)
Our hard work in research enabled MirrorTissue to be recognized as the most innovative plant-based application solution at Fi Europe 2023.
Benefits
Some of the relevant characteristics of this technology include its hardness and cohesivity similar to real adipose tissue, which allow it to integrate and interact with the plant matrix it’s being incorporated into.
