About

Gavan Technologies specializes in the development of functional ingredients for the food industry, with an emphasis on sustainability. The company offers plant-based protein extraction technology as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional animal-derived products. Its flagship product is Fatrix®, a multi-texture fat analogue designed for the bakery, meat, and dairy markets, offering sensorial and nutritional benefits. Gavan has developed a novel, waste-free protein extraction method that supports the circular economy by positioning total plant extraction at the core of its operations. The company's patented technology enables the protein to perform as an optimal binder for water and oil, resulting in a smooth, stable, and flavorless emulsion with very low saturated fats and zero trans fats.
