NEWS 14 F&A Alternative Proteins Edition October 2023 Novozymes redefines plant-based meat experience with its new biosolution Novozymes, one of the world leaders in biological solutions, offered Vertera® ProBite as a game-changing solution to the plant-based meat industry. The new solution opens up new possibilities to create today’s and tomorrow’s plant-based meat products with advanced texture and consumer-friendly labels. Vertera® ProBite is a part of Novozymes’ commitment to driving innovation in biosolutions and promoting sustainable food choices, according to the company. “This product launch represents a significant milestone in the plant-based meat sector. Vertera® ProBite has the potential to redefine the consumer experience by improving the texture issue and at the same time enabling a more consumer-friendly label. Two areas which are still hindering the widespread adoption of plant-based alternatives,” said Birgitte Schou Borch, Head of the Plant & Food Business, Novozymes. Vertera® ProBite is an innovation based on the enzyme MTGase (microbial transglutaminase E.C. 2.3.2.13), designed to enhance the texture of plantbased products. Unlike previous solutions, Vertera® ProBite offers the unique advantage of requiring no labelling, marking a significant breakthrough for the plant-based meat industry.
