What it is

Meat protein is a functional protein added to the mix for texture and binding. It helps qofte, burgers and other meat products keep their shape and have a better texture.

How to choose

Functional proteins for meat come from different sources: soy, milk, plasma, collagen or pork. The source affects how much water the protein binds and what has to go on the label. With soy protein, for example, isolate binds more water than concentrate, and in large amounts soy can leave a beany taste in the product.

What to keep in mind

Soy and milk are allergens that must be emphasized in the ingredients list. Before adding it to a recipe, make sure which source the protein comes from.
Proteins from collagen or plasma aren't among the allergens emphasized on the label, but if you produce halal, ask which animal the protein comes from.
For the amount, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

For doner, qofte, burgers and gyro we also have meat binder. If you specifically need soy protein, you'll find it in soy protein.
