Pea-protein retort texturing

Texturing of pea (and soy) protein isolates into canned-tuna flake and shred formats through retort processing, such as Sophie's Kitchen Vegan Toona.

Where it's used

Plant-based, mycoprotein & seaweed-derived seafood
Plant-protein isolates, fermented mycoprotein and seaweed are extruded and 3D-structured into whole-cut and canned seafood substitutes — a route distinct from cell-cultured seafood (cultured-seafood), marine peptides (marine-peptides-nutraceuticals) and microalgal protein (microalgae-aquaculture), driven by 2026 scale-up milestones: Revo Foods' TASTE FACTORY in Vienna, BettaF!sh's cross-Atlantic acquisition by Bayou Best Foods, and Oshi's 3 million dollar raise.
