Company Impossible Foods, which we have been told a few years ago, brought the technological exhibition CES new from the world of the food industry, and more specifically from the field of biochemistry. Guys treat visitors to your exhibition stand “Impossible Burger 2.0” — a new generation of vegan burgers, which artificial meat is almost indistinguishable from the present, at least according to those people who have tried it.
In the first version as a “meat” used a substance “heme”. It mimicked the taste and color of the animal protein that was added to the “minced meat” made from flour and spices. During heat treatment, at least visually, it was very difficult to distinguish from real meat. Vegans have the novelty has caused the present delight, but fans of real meat like hamburgers do not fancy the taste still seemed very “artificial”. In addition, synthetic meat was awkward to use to simulate different meats. Unlike real meat, which is present not only animal protein, but also fats, artificial all of this of course was not, therefore, an artificial version was a little dry.
Presented at the exhibition CES-2019 version “2.0” has caused a furor among visitors, journalists portal Engadget. In the new version of one of the main components of synthetic meat, gluten of wheat, was replaced by soy protein. The result is a significant change in the structure of meat after heat treatment. Now it is more hard and really need to chew. In addition, Patty “the impossible Burger” contains 14 grams of fat, it has as much iron and protein as beef steaks of similar size. It is, incidentally, about the same, for the money the buyer will receive 240 calories for every 100 grams of product. Changed the consistency allows you to use the meat for cooking a variety of dishes. For example, it is possible to make meatballs, dumplings, or stew pieces.
Taste of gourmet is impossible to deceive. Professionals who had tried a new synthetic burgers still were able to notice a difference, but ordinary visitors of CES, the novelty came to mind.
About 20 restaurants vegan food in Las Vegas, new York and San Francisco have already signed contracts for the supply of a new synthetic “meat”. By the summer of “the impossible Burger” will be sold in the networks of White Castle and Umami Burger, and by the end of 2019, they will appear in widespread free market in the United States.
