Plant-based meats and foods often lack animal-fat-like juiciness, mouthfeel and cooking performance, while conventional fats can be high in saturated fat and calories.
R&D Focus
Structured plant fats, emulsions, mouthfeel and lower-calorie food formulation.
Innovative Solution
PhytoFat combines plant oils and fibre to mimic animal fat while reducing overall fat and calories and avoiding trans fat.
Solution Effectiveness
The company reports lower calories, reduced overall fat and no trans fat, but does not publish standardized comparative percentages on the reviewed page.
