At the National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show, food technology company Motif FoodWorks will be launching a plant-based foodservice portfolio with innovative technologies. At the event, Motif PorkWorks Plant-Based Ground and Motif BeefWorks Plant-Based Burger Patties and Grounds are set to be presented to show off menu options that mimic the two barriers to consumer adoption of plant-based meats—taste and texture.
For taste, Motif created HEMAMI, a heme protein that brings a meat-like flavor and aroma to plant-based meat alternatives. For texture, Motif created APPETEX, which simulates the connective tissue found in animal meat products with plant-based ingredients to offer chewiness and juiciness.
At the event, the company will be sampling plant-based pork with Bahn Mi Meatball Toast and Kofta Kebab. Later this year, Motif ChickenWorks Plant-Based Cutlets will be launching.
