ICL, Plantible Foods introduce RuBisCO-based protein for plant-based binding
ICL Food Specialties, a leading manufacturer of functional ingredient solutions, and Plantible Foods, a vertically integrated biology platform and RuBisCO ingredient producer, together introduced a clean label binding solution for plant-based meat and seafood applications. ROVITARIS® Binding Solution powered by Rubi Protein™ is a one-of-a-kind functional protein system that can replace most chemically processed binders in plant-based meat and seafood formulations without compromising the authentic taste and texture consumers crave.
The launch is part of a multi-year commercial agreement between Plantible and ICL to introduce one of the first RuBisCO-enabled ingredients into food systems. The two companies, which have been collaborating on the creation and development of new plant-based ingredient toolkits, are excited to commercialize their latest innovation.
