Branching out to a new plant-based ingredient made from wood
Arbiom’s SylPro, made from fermented wood pieces, just finished a proof-of-concept test showing it can replace more traditional soy, pea and wheat proteins in meat substitutes.
When consumers think of plant-based food, they think of items made from ingredients like soybeans, wheat, peas, coconut and rice.
Arbiom wants to add something else to those common ingredients: wood. The North Carolina-based company recently was able to use its SylPro ingredient, which is made from fermented and broken down wood, as a replacement for the extruded soy, pea and wheat proteins in prototypes of common plant-based substitutes.
