Planetarians claims it ‘makes alternative meat better’ by combining the power of plant-based proteins and fermentation technology.
The start-up has patented technology that allows it to process ‘multiple types of plant-based protein sources’ into alternative meat through fermentation – without the need for any additional ingredients.
The company is positioning itself as the ultimate in clean-label meat analogues. It says the results of its unique process are a meaty texture, umami flavour, and a lower cost than traditional meat and other meat alternatives.
“My stomach rejects alternative meat,” explained Anastasia Tkacheva, Planetarians’ Co-Founder. “Looking around, we identified that it’s not specific to me. Many healthy folks are willing to eat plant-based food but concerned about too long ingredient lists of it.”
Building on this insight, the plant-based ingredient start-up has completed scale-up trials of its zero-emission and zero-waste technology at a Clextral pilot facility. The company has also developed and tested prototypes of its single-ingredient meat analogue.
“Planetarians technology uses fermentation to convert the carbohydrates in the plants into additional protein without extraction. Simultaneously fermentation clears the aftertaste, adds BBQ flavour and colour without using chemicals, which influence digestion,” revealed Aleh Manchuliantsau, the company’s Founder & CEO. “Consumers feel good seeing a single ingredient on the label; it’s clean.”
