Mimetic is Puratos' unique plant-based specialty fat, perfect for replacing butter or upgrading margarine made products using a 1-1 replacement. Benefit from superior workability and flawless layering during the lamination process, as well as an indulgent buttery mouthfeel for premium products.
Mimetic technology guarantees premium finished products which maintain their crispiness, flakiness, shortbite and freshness, both in industrial usage as well as artisanal quantities.
Better environmental impact of Mimetic versus dairy butter
Puratos has conducted a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to determine the environmental impact of Mimetic compared to the impact of dairy butter. Using the ‘Product Environmental Footprint’ methodology, which is adopted and supported by the European Union, data was gathered from the entire value chain of Mimetic, from raw material until end of life. This data was then assessed over diverse environmental impact categories including climate change, water scarcity, land use, and numerous other aspects.
The results found that Mimetic has lower methane and CO2 emissions, as well as a lower water usage and land use per kilogram of product.
Mimetic is cost efficient alternative to dairy butter, resistant to butter price fluctuations with 3 times less environmental impact.
