What You Need to Know
The process involves protein solubilization at moderate temperatures, emulsification of plant lipids with lecithin, and thermal treatments that denature proteins minimally while ensuring microbial safety. Enzymatic hydrolysis and high-pressure processing further modify peptide profiles and improve mouthfeel, while fermentation introduces lactic acid bacteria for yogurt-like textures.
