SOY TVP GCL-25 (GRANULES CARAMEL LIGHT, 2-5MM)
SOY TVP GCL-25 (GRANULES CARAMEL LIGHT, 2-5MM); also known as textured soy protein, soy mince, soy meat or soy chunks is made from extrusion of de-oiled non-GMO soy flour. The soy flour is heated to up to 150°C at high pressure which denatures into a fibrous, insoluble, porous network that can soak up more than three times of its own weight in liquids. When the product exits the extruder, the sudden drop in pressure causes rapid expansion into puffy solid product which is dried. The TVPs are available in various shapes like mince, flakes, granules, chunks, nuggets, steaks and in various sizes (granules: 1-3 mm, 2-5 mm and 3-7 mm; chunks: 10mm +) and colours (natural, caramel, red).
