TVP technology has long been developed in Taiwan. With the increasing demand for a sustainable plant-based protein source, the development of a flexible but stable meat substitute production for the vegan population process has become a necessity. Our Twin Screw Extruder is designed with exact temperature control and adjustable screw to reform and re-structure the plant-based protein to generate protein fibers (fibration). This cooking extrusion process is important for the texture and mouthfeel of TVP and HMMA.

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).

Our customer is a well-known instant noodle manufacturer in South Korea. The customer bought our co-rotating twin-screw extruder (Model EP-50D) for producing slice-type Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP). This customer is planning to do some researches on the production method of traditional TVP and also the High Moisture Meat Analogue (HMMA) in the future.
