Texturized vegetable Protein (TVP)
IDAH has developed numerous ready-to-sell textured vegetable protein
(TVP), or specifically textured soy protein from soy isolate powder.
We have complete know-how from formulation and processing equipment.

Dry mixing
In this step, trace ingredients such as vitamins and minerals will
be added and mixed
Extrusion
During extrusion, the material will undergo high pressure, high
temperature, and shearing in the barrel.
This treatment will induce the formation of protein fiber.
Drying
Drying in TVP is an optional process, some TVP will be frozen and
distributed in wet form.
When dried, wet TVP will enter the dryer and come out as dried
TVP with long shelf life.
Cooling
Cooling utilizes ambient air to cool down the hot product coming out
from the dryer.
Thorough cooling is needed to prevent condensation inside the
packaging.
Packing
Packing gives protection to the products also gives easiness to
handle and transport to customer's hand.
Manufacturing Process of TVP
Twin shaft mixer Food safety
is the key feature for the IDAH twin shaft mixer. IDAH mixers ensure
high accuracy of mixing and hygienic features such as minimized residue
and bacteria growth. IDAH mixers used for food applications have been
delivered to many countries including Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan.
Twin-screw extruder IDAH
co-rotating twin-screw extruder offers excellent solutions based on
years of commercial operations and research works. Innovative
human-machine-interface or HMI designs help customers to record all
parameters including temperatures on the barrels, speed of shaft
rotation, metering of water or other liquid addition, and automatic
start-up and turn-down. Control systems make IDAH twin-screw extruder
highly flexible in making an unlimited variety of products.
Drying system IDAH carousel
dryer has an especially small footprint and height compared to typical
vertical counterflow dryers and also uses a lot less electrical power
than most other designs, cutting down on capital costs, energy costs,
maintenance costs, and noise. A round-shaped carousel dryer generates a
very homogeneous air flow stream inside the dryer which allows an
extremely uniform treatment of the product. This process of airflow
leads simply to the fact that over-drying of the product is not given.
Constant tumbling (up to seven times) of the product to be dried leads
to best results in uniform water evaporation.
Features and Benefits of IDAH Process Design and Equipment
Since the 1980s’, Taiwan has used soybean and wheat as two base
materials to develop textured vegetable protein (TVP) technology. The
textured vegetable protein has a meat-like texture and can be made into
various healthy vegetarian food products. Based on decades of experience
in operating a vegetarian food company, IDAH has complete know-how in
converting textured vegetable protein (TVP) into different plant-based
meat (vegetarian meat).
The 1990s
IDAH has established a food laboratory since the 1990s, specializing in
TSP (Soy Extruded Protein) and IWP (Soy Protein Isolate), and
successfully developed plant-based meat (vegetarian meat).
The year 1997
The laboratory was upgraded to a food research factory and began to
produce various vegetarian products.
The 2000s
Technical cooperation with the Food Industry Research Development
Institute of Taiwan, and the Food Research Institute of Taiwan Ocean
University, successfully exported vegetarian meat to the United States.
2008
The food plant of vegetarian meat products was sold to Taiwan Top 5 food
company in Taiwan.
2015
IDAH Innovation Center was established to continue to research and
develop plant-based meat, becoming the first and only base in Taiwan to
provide vegetarian meat equipment, proofing and testing, education and
training, and food research and development.
