John Powers, marketing director at ADM, says there continues to be substantial opportunity for soy protein concentrates and textured proteins to partially replace meat in sausages, hams, hot dogs, burgers and chicken nuggets.
ADM says soy protein continues to gain momentum across both traditional meat applications and emerging plant-forward formats, driven by the need for cost efficiency, functionality and sensory performance.
The company also recently invested an additional $10 million to enhance its plant-protein technical capabilities at the Creative Solutions Center near its St. Louis, Missouri, headquarters
As an extension of its non-GMO solutions, ADM will now offer both origination and extrusion capabilities of non-GMO soy protein for the European market.
