Product description

Textured wheat protein is a functional plant-based protein ingredient for manufacturers developing meat alternatives, ready meals and protein-rich convenience products. Its structured particles absorb water and oil, support a firm bite and help create a fibrous texture after hydration and processing. Different particle sizes allow manufacturers to adapt the ingredient to minced, chunked or formed product concepts.

With its high protein content and processing functionality, textured wheat protein can support stable formulations and efficient industrial production. The appropriate particle size, hydration ratio and dosage depend on the desired texture and manufacturing process. Technical specifications, application guidance and product samples are available on request.

  • Defined fibrous texture
  • High water and oil binding capacity
  • Supports a firm and structured bite
  • Suitable for different particle sizes
  • High protein content
  • Suitable for scalable industrial food production

Our textured wheat protein is made from carefully selected, high-quality wheat. The raw material is processed to provide consistent particle structure, functional performance and reliable quality for industrial food production.

Sustainable farming methods are an important criterion in the selection of our raw materials and suppliers. Detailed information on origin, product specifications and available documentation can be requested from our ingredient team.

Our textured wheat protein is available in different packaging formats for industrial production volumes. Standard options include 20 kg bags, 25 kg bags, big bags and silo trucks.

The packaging protects product quality during storage and transportation. Alternative packaging formats, minimum order quantities, delivery times and logistical options are available on request.

Textured wheat protein for food manufacturers

Textured wheat protein is a functional plant-based ingredient for manufacturers developing meat alternatives, ready meals and protein-rich convenience products. Its structured particles provide a firm bite and can help create a fibrous texture after hydration. High water and oil binding can support moisture retention, product consistency and efficient processing in industrial formulations. Different particle sizes make it possible to develop minced, chunked and formed product concepts with application-specific texture.

Manufacturers looking for a non-textured protein ingredient can evaluate wheat protein. For alternative protein structures and different sensory profiles, textured pea protein and textured sunflower protein can be considered. We support food manufacturers with ingredient selection, particle-size evaluation, technical documentation, product samples, packaging options and information for scalable industrial production.
