Performance
Experience
Enhanced juiciness and mouthfeel of HME products deliver a succulent meat-like eating experience, setting a new standard for plant-based alternatives.
Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of our purpose Making Better HappenTM, and we are committed to a long-term journey towards sustainable, healthy plant based food choices – a journey we are taking with customers through co-development and partnership.
The biggest opportunity for plant-based meat lies in appealing to flexitarians and those trying to eat more sustainably by reducing meat and fish consumption.
Although they are concerned about sustainability and nutrition, they won’t compromise on taste and enjoyment, making juiciness, texture and visual appeal crucial to winning them over.
High moisture extrusion (HME) is changing the plant-based meat category – for the better. The realistic whole muscle meat alternatives it’s able to produce are set to open a whole new world of opportunity for the producers and users of HME.

Solutions to make you smile
At AAK, we understand the plant based meat process and just how difficult it can be to create more authentic whole muscle plant-based meat alternatives.
Our unique understanding of both high moisture extrusion process, and the functionality of oils and fats, enables us to work with customers to develop tailored, multi-oil solutions that deliver better process efficiency, moisture retention and less oiling out.
Our value-adding oil and fat solutions enhance the juiciness and mouthfeel of high moisture extrusion products. They are designed to optimize texture to deliver structure with juicy tenderness that closely resembles whole muscle meat.
By drawing on our high moisture extrusion process expertise and by adding our value-adding oil and fat solutions, you can potentially improve your product’s nutritional profile and sustainability score.
Our innovation can improve the nutritional profile of plant based meat, since it contains less saturated fatty acids (SAFA) than coconut oil, which is used in plant based meat.
Because our AkoPlanet™ plant based meat solutions are made from sustainably sourced plant based oils and fats, it’s likely you can improve the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) rating of finished products.
Processability can also be significantly improved, by creating less lubrication which reduces pressure problems. We can help with process optimization and support you during the implementation of our solutions.
