Hybrid meat products are gaining popularity

The market is constantly evolving, and sustainability is a key theme. As sales of purely “traditional” meat alternatives level off and meat makes a modest comeback, hybrid meat products are gaining traction. Supermarkets and manufacturers are investing in hybrid meat products—a blend of animal and plant-based proteins and ingredients. This approach supports sustainability goals without compromising the distinctive taste and texture of meat.

DKB is happy to advise you on which plant-based ingredients are best suited for developing a hybrid product and can support you in reducing your CO₂ footprint while improving efficiency in your production process.

There are various protein sources suitable for use in hybrid products. Depending on the base (substrate), a matching protein source is selected. In addition, DKB can assist you with different flavor profiles, binders, and stabilizers that help prevent moisture loss, ensure optimal binding, deliver the right texture, and create a pleasant, consistent taste.

Alternative protein sources can introduce flavors to a hybrid product that may not be desirable. To mask these, herb and/or seasoning blends are used that align with the base substrate or the intended flavor profile of the final product.

Contact our sales department to discuss the possibilities. Together, we help you develop products that are both sustainable, cost-efficient, and high-quality.

We know your taste.
