British malters use malt in plant-based meat products

As the plant-based industry continues to innovate and grow, plant-based meat circuits are increasingly recognized by consumers. In line with this market trend, Muntons, the UK supplier of malt extract ingredients, has announced that it is using malt extract ingredients to produce plant-based burgers, sausages and sliced deli beef.

According to the introduction, MALT is produced by a series of processes such as soaking, gelling, drying, and processing after the production process has been completed, and substances such as reduced SUGAR, ENZYME, and AMINO ACID, which are naturally present in the plant, are able to produce MAILLARD reaction, giving plant-fed NUTRITION and FLAVOR. At the same time, malt has a lower environmental impact than other ingredients used to make vegetable protein, further meeting the market and consumer demand for clean labels and sustainability.
