Technology Overview

This new plant-based fishball technology addresses several key issues related to health, sustainability, and dietary needs. Traditional and existing plant-based fishballs often fall short due to overfishing, heavy metal contamination, and the presence of gluten and starches, which do not meet the needs of health-conscious consumers. Additionally, there is increasing demand from consumers for eco-friendly food options to reduce environmental impact and overfishing.

This technology utilizes okara and advanced texture and flavour engineering, resulting in a product that mimics the taste and texture of conventional fishballs while being gluten-free, starch-free, and sugar-free. This makes it suitable for those with dietary restrictions such as diabetes or gluten sensitivities. This product also offers comparable protein content with lower carbohydrates, making it a healthier choice. It also has versatile applications in various types of local cuisines. By reducing reliance on fish stocks and promoting sustainability, this plant-based fishball technology supports ethical consumption and environmental conservation.
