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.
At its global flavor headquarters in Erlanger, Ky., ADM explores ingredient reformulation and key trends like natural colors and flavors, sodium and sugar reduction and clean-label ingredients.
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.
ADM announced that it will invest approximately $300 million to significantly expand its Decatur, Illinois, alternative protein production, as the company continues to add capacity to meet strong demand growth.
