Roquette has launched its first-ever textured wheat protein: NUTRALYS T WHEAT 600L
Roquette, a global leader in plant-based ingredients, is strengthening its NUTRALYS plant protein portfolio with two new textured solutions, marking the company’s entry into textured wheat and reinforcing its commitment to next-generation food innovation. The new ingredients – NUTRALYS T WHEAT 600L textured wheat protein and NUTRALYS T PEA 700XC textured pea protein are designed to help food manufacturers meet growing demand for nutritious, affordable, and sustainable proteins.
A milestone in its plant protein journey, Roquette has launched its first-ever textured wheat protein: NUTRALYS T WHEAT 600L. Developed in response to evolving consumer preferences for fibrous, chicken-style alternatives, this innovative ingredient blends performance and versatility to support better nutrition and more sustainable food solutions.
NUTRALYS T WHEAT 600L features extended, meat-like fibres that provide the authentic chewiness and tenderness crucial for mimicking the experience of real chicken. Its naturally light colour enhances visual appeal and reduces the need for additional processing or colouring, helping manufacturers simplify production. With over 60 per cent protein content, it also supports the development of high-protein products that meet consumer demand.
In addition to its functional qualities, the new solution offers practical and sustainability advantages. NUTRALYS T WHEAT 600L enables simpler, more cost-effective processing compared to high-moisture extrusion, is compatible with a broader range of equipment and supports higher yield potential. Sourced sustainably from European wheat, it ensures a reliable supply chain, helping manufacturers plan for the long term and scale production with confidence.
