US food tech company Benson Hill has announced the launch of TruVail, a new line of domestically sourced soy protein ingredients.
The first products to be introduced under the TruVail brand include texturised proteins and high-protein soy flour, which Benson Hill says offers a less processed equivalent to soy protein concentrate (SPC).
TruVail ingredients are derived from Benson Hill’s proprietary ‘ultra-high protein’ soybeans, “reducing the need for additional processing steps typically required to concentrate protein levels”.
The company claims that the non-GMO ingredients can require up to 70% less water and up to 50% less CO2e to produce compared with commodity SPC.
The TruVail ingredients can be used for applications within the rapidly growing plant-based market, including meat and dairy alternatives, as well as in snacks, baked goods and meat products.
“The nutrient density advantage of TruVail ingredients offers food manufacturers a seamless solution for multiple product development needs,” said Kurt Long, VP, proteins, Benson Hill.
“The application of TruVail ingredients as a less processed replacement for SPC delivers cost and environmental advantages while avoiding SPC supply constraints facing the rapidly expanding plant-based protein market.”
Benson Hill recently acquired a soy processing facility in Creston, Iowa, providing it with the manufacturing capabilities to bring its new ingredient portfolio to market.
