This revyve egg replacer has been created by the Dutch food tech brand as a high-performance ingredient aimed at providing an effective alternative for plant-based burgers. The ingredient is formulated with the brand's yeast proteins and is reported to mimic the properties of eggs whites to help with binding, heat-set gelling and emulsification. The final result is plant-based meat with a greater sense of authenticity, while the ingredient is positioned as being competitively priced, sustainable, suitable for use with standard processing equipment and also compliant with all regulatory requirements on an international level.
CTO and Co-Founder Edgar Suarez Garcia spoke on the revyve egg replacer saying, "At Revyve, we have taken yeast functionality to the next level. Revyve offers exceptional heat-set gelling, binding, and emulsification. Burgers retain water and oil at hot and cold temperatures; they brown and sizzle on the grill and hold their shape when flipped and sandwiched in a bun.”
