A unique platform to extract proteins from plants that enable the creation of multitexture fats with special properties using only 3 ingredients: Plant proteins, veg oil and water

About

Gavan is distinguished by its exclusive protein extraction platform, which extracts proteins from plants in their natural state. These proteins are then combined to form a cohesive structure that binds vegetable oil and water, resulting in the creation of Fatrix. This Oleo gel contains a mere 0.5% protein content, yet possesses remarkable properties that find wide-ranging applications within the food and beverage industry. Key characteristics of Fatrix include: Heat resistance: Fatrix exhibits exceptional stability, remaining solid and impervious to melting or leakage even under high-temperature conditions. Versatile textures: The composition of proteins, oils, and water in Fatrix can be adjusted to achieve specific textures in the final product, allowing for a diverse range of culinary applications. Health benefits: By utilizing vegetable oils instead of animal fat or tropical oils, Fatrix enables a reduction in saturated fats by up to 80%, contributing to a healthier dietary choice. Efficient carrier: Fatrix acts as a carrier, facilitating the delivery of both water and oil-soluble extracts with excellent distribution throughout the product. Sustainability: Fatrix embodies sustainability principles by being free from animal-derived ingredients, avoiding the use of tropical oils, requiring low energy input during production, and generating no waste. Incorporating Fatrix into various applications yields products that are both healthier and more sustainable, all without compromising on taste and texture.

Key Benefits

Incorporating Fatrix into products enables companies to enhance the nutritional profile by reducing saturated fat content, achieve cost efficiencies and stable supply, promote sustainability, and improve product labeling—all without compromising the consumer experience. An additional advantage is that no specific regulations are required for using Fatrix, which translates to a faster time to market for companies adopting this innovative ingredient.
