Umisation:
a unique process
After 2 years of research and development, the UMIAMI teams have developed Umisation:
A unique protein texturing technology for plant-based fillets that are unlike any other.
A technology that offers exclusives products advantages!
Our unique umisation process produces a thick, whole piece with meat-like fibers.
Based on the reproduction of the appearance of animal fibers, this innovative process allows us to recreate the texture of a “real” piece of poultry.
Our innovative technology guarantees a tasty and high-protein product.
Beyond extrusion
Protein texturization that revolutionizes plant-based products
Until now, there were only two options for creating plant-based meat alternatives:
Dry extrusion
Minced products such as patties,
meatballs, or sausages
Wet extrusion
Minced products such as slices..
However, there was no technology to create similar, thick, fibrous whole pieces of meat.
With umization, Umiami controls the thickness and direction of the fibers in the product. Our plant-based fillets are much more like meat and fish fillets and are clean labels.
The advantages of umisation
A simple recipe for products close to the new demands of consumers
- 0 texturizing agent, 0 methylcellulose
- A reduced list of ingredients
- Nutriscore A
Infinite possibilities because not all consumers have the same expectations
- A more comprehensive range of textures than with extrusion
- Whole, fibrous, and thick cuts
- Complete control of fiber direction
A different plant taste for an inimitable taste experience
- A soft and unique texture obtained through our proprietary process
- Natural flavors developed with a world-renowned flavorist
- A unique, fatty and delicious mouth feel
Umisation meets the expectations of gourmets and food lovers looking for a tasty alternative to animal meat. All without sacrificing the pleasure of cooking and tasting
“Umisation opens a new chapter for the plant protein market. It is now possible to achieve remarkable textural similarity, with the possibility of implementing ‘cleaner’ products, for a wide range of applications (meat and fish).”

A technology at an industrial scale
The umisation is a unique process for producing plant-based fillets replacing meat and fish fillets.
Our predictions for the coming years:
of plant-based fillets
of plant-based fillets
of plant-based fillets
After having opened in June 2022 an R&D center and industrial pilot line in Ile-de-France, Umiami set up its first production site in Duppigheim (about 15 km from Strasbourg).
The 14,000 m2 building will house the world’s first factory capable of large-scale production of all types of plant based fillets by 2023.
Constantly evolving innovation
Umiami has an innovation center dedicated to plant proteins and sustainable food.
We also have a pilot production line to carry out all of our tests, fine-tune our various innovations, and work on our different products under development.
