Plant-Based Protein Supplier for Ready Meals

Finding a plant-based protein supplier for ready meals that combines deep plant-based specialisation, industrial capacity and the flexibility to adapt to any production line can make a real difference to your business.
In this article, you’ll discover how Sanygran integrates plant-based proteins into ready meals—from plant-based burgers and coated products to hummus and tofu—combining wet and dry extrusion technologies, standard recipe development and tailored solutions, with formats designed for different channels and fully scalable at industrial level.

Why choose a specialised plant-based protein supplier for ready meals?

Not all plant-based ingredient suppliers offer the same level of expertise or industrial focus. Sanygran is exclusively specialised in plant-based products, allowing us to deliver consistent, innovative solutions fully adapted to the ready-meals industry.

What sets us apart:

• Exclusive plant-based industrial know-how: years of experience in formulation and extrusion processes to develop products with optimal texture, taste and industrial performance.
• Full in-house industrial capacity: wet extrusion up to 500 kg/h, dry extrusion up to 200 kg/h, and plant-based burger production between 160 and 195 kg/h. In addition, we operate cutters, cooking kettles, sauce cookers, mixers, fryers, an IQF tunnel and autoclave, enabling a fully integrated, in-house plant-based portfolio.
• Flexible formats and recipes: from consumer-ready products to bulk solutions for HORECA, or ingredients designed for direct integration into other production lines.
• End-to-end B2B support: technical assistance, texture, flavour and format adjustments, ensuring efficient line integration and batch-to-batch consistency.

With a generic supplier, it is far more difficult to guarantee that plant-based proteins retain texture, bite and functionality during processes such as pasteurisation, freezing or microwave regeneration—critical requirements for industrial ready meals.

The Ready-to-Eat Plant-Based challenge: from trend to industrial profitability

Today’s consumers expect more than “just plant-based”: they demand gourmet quality, appealing texture and a complete sensory experience. For manufacturers, this represents a major industrial challenge—scaling production while maintaining flavour, texture and stability, without increasing costs or compromising efficiency.

At Sanygran, plant-based expertise and industrial know-how come together to turn a market trend into profitable, scalable and differentiated products.

Types of plant-based proteins for ready-meal applications

Sanygran offers a comprehensive portfolio of plant-based solutions designed for both complex matrices and structured products.

Functional plant-based proteins for complex matrices

Developed to integrate seamlessly into recipes with multiple ingredients, such as sauces, fillings or complete dishes. They ensure:

• Stability during cooking, pasteurisation and freezing
• Excellent water retention and uniform texture
• Preservation of flavour and visual appeal

Texturised plant-based proteins for structured products

Ideal for applications that require a defined bite and structure, such as plant-based burgers, meatballs, nuggets or ready meals with visible texture.
Homogeneous batches, controlled bite and optimised industrial performance guarantee consistency and easy integration into any production process.

Custom protein blends for manufacturers

We develop tailor-made solutions based on each client’s needs:

• Nutritional profile and target cost
• Adjusted texture and flavour (neutral or customised)
• Clean label and industrial functionality

This enables manufacturers to deliver products adapted to any channel, with guaranteed performance and scalability.

Technical criteria for selecting plant-based protein in industrial ready meals

Choosing the right plant-based protein goes beyond flavour or origin. Production teams must also evaluate:

• Thermal behaviour during cooking, pasteurisation and sterilisation
• Water retention and reduced syneresis
• Stability throughout shelf life
• Batch repeatability and security of supply

Technological performance in industrial processes

A high-quality plant-based protein must maintain cohesion, texture and flavour across all industrial processes. Sanygran ensures uniform behaviour in every batch, reducing risks and simplifying production-line integration.

Impact on texture, flavour and consumer experience

Protein selection directly affects the final product. Poor choices can result in inconsistent texture, loss of juiciness or altered flavour—ultimately damaging the consumer experience. With a specialised supplier like Sanygran, these issues are anticipated and resolved from the outset.
