Amino Acids Have an Important Place in Vegan Nutrition

In a vegan diet, which is a nutrition method that does not include animal products, people need to turn to various plant sources to meet their protein needs. Proteins consist of amino acids, which are basic building blocks for the body. Amino acids are critical for protein synthesis and body functions. There are some main reasons why amino acids are important in a vegan diet:

Complete Protein Intake: Foods of animal origin are generally “complete protein” They are proteins that can be used directly by the body and contain all essential amino acids. However, plant sources generally contain low amounts of all essential amino acids or only some of them. Therefore, ensuring complete protein intake by combining various herbal sources is important for human health. Ajinomoto It has been carrying out R&D studies for more than 10 years with over 1700 scientists, more than 100 percent of whom have doctoral degrees, to ensure complete protein intake from plant sources. Focusing on studies on the importance of amino acids in vegan nutrition Ajinomoto, It develops various materials and new techniques using amino acids so that vegans can ensure their complete protein intake.

Essential Amino Acids: The body cannot produce some amino acids on its own and must obtain them from outside through food. These amino acids “essential amino acids” It is called. In a vegan diet, it is important to consume different plant sources in a balanced way to get adequate amounts of these essential amino acids.

Construction of Tissues and Organs: Amino acids form the structure of cells, tissues, muscles and organs in the body. Therefore, adequate intake of amino acids is essential for building healthy tissues and organs in the body.

Enzyme and Hormone Production: Amino acids are necessary for the production of various enzymes and hormones in the body. These biochemical processes support a healthy metabolism by regulating body functions.

Immune System and General Health: Amino acids play critical roles in immune system functions, energy production and the functioning of other important body systems. Adequate intake of amino acids supports overall health and well-being.

The closest solution partner of the food and beverage industry for 35 years Metro Turkey, developed to meet the expectations of professionals and consumers who prefer plant-based nutrition. Subway Chef Veggie Bio Drink Series's Barista Collection was introduced to coffee professionals at a special event. As part of World Vegan Day, Gastronometro'At the event, baristas got to try out the oat, soy, and almond-based beverage series' special barista options. The event's special guest, Kimma Coffee Roasters Co-Founder and SCA Authorized Coffee Trainer Aslı Yaman, conducted an enjoyable workshop on new trends in the coffee industry, unique beverage concepts, and menu innovations.

Stating that they focus on inclusivity in every aspect of their business and respect all dietary patterns of consumers in this context, Metro Türkiye Corporate Communications Manager Pınar Özistanbullu Demir said, "By closely monitoring our customers' habits, we shape and develop our product range based on their needs and demands. For many years, we've also been creating solutions for those who prefer a plant-based diet. Our goal is to demonstrate that there's food and beverages for everyone on the table, and to say, "Everything is Available for Everyone on Our Table!" With this understanding, we offer 50 different products under our own brands.'We offer our customers nearly 100,000 vegan products. The newest of these products is the Metro Chef Veggie Bio Beverage Series, which we developed as an alternative to milk. This distinctive product line, which is 100% vegan, lactose-free, and EU Organic certified, offers ideal foam, consistency, and performance in coffee recipes with its Classic Oatmeal and Soy options, as well as Barista Oatmeal, Barista Soy, and Barista Almond varieties. This series, which caters to those seeking a plant-based alternative to milk—a staple in smoothies and desserts, in addition to a wide range of coffee flavors from lattes to cappuccinos—supports not only flavor but also a healthy lifestyle. We are delighted to support the coffee industry with the variety and high-quality performance we offer and to lead this transformation alongside baristas.

Aslı Yaman, Founding Partner of Kimma Coffee Roasters and SCA Authorized Coffee Trainer "The market share of plant-based beverages has increased steadily, especially with the plant-based revolution after the 2000s. Looking at the past five years, we see that the global market has grown by 11,5%. Turkey'In 2026, 1 out of every 5 coffee drinks'The plan is to prepare beverages with plant-based alternatives. In this regard, pairing coffee with reliable, ethical, and clean plant-based beverage options plays a significant role in fostering new consumption habits. We've observed that the barista versions of the new Metro Chef Veggie Bio beverages achieve a perfect balance with coffee. I believe the Metro Chef Veggie Bio Beverage Series will stand out in the industry with its structure that meets professional barista expectations in terms of heat stability, crema formation, and foam durability.

The natural oil and protein ratio in its formulation maintains a velvety texture in espresso-based beverages while supporting flavor harmony without overpowering the aromatic profile. This ensures a milky consistency, a homogeneous texture, and a consistently creamy consistency in both hot and cold beverages. Furthermore, its high microfoam stability allows for the preservation of fine lines and detailed patterns in latte art applications. Therefore, I can say that plant-based beverages, as a good alternative, could become a technical priority not only for coffee consumers but also for baristas.

At the event, participants also saw Metro'Experience the drinks prepared with Rioba's own brand's coffee bean varieties and matcha and experience the Metro Chef Veggie Bio Plant-Based Barista Beverage Series.'He had the opportunity to observe firsthand the professional performance of.

Cash Register Integration Mandatory

The Revenue Administration (GİB) has mandated cash register integration. Penalties await those who fail to comply.

Cash Register Integration Mandatory | HORECA TREND

With the Revenue Administration's (GİB) decisions, it's no longer enough for restaurants, cafes, and similar businesses to simply use a POS system. These businesses are now required to integrate with cash registers. In other words, their systems must be fiscally approved and integrated.

Businesses that do not comply with these regulations can face both serious fines and additional costs of up to 10–15% in their business processes.

In this article, you will find the legal basis for the integration obligation, the risks for businesses and the solutions in detail.

Legal Basis: With What Regulations Did the Cash Register Integration Obligation Come About?

Tax Procedure Law General Communiqué No. 483 – September 30, 2017

It has become mandatory for new generation payment recording devices (YN ÖKC) to work integrated with software.

May 25, 2018 Update

The deadline for integration was revised to October 1, 2018.

Law No. 7524 (2024)

In case of transactions made with non-integrated devices, a special irregularity penalty of 10% of the transaction amount has been applied.

With these regulations, not only businesses but also companies providing software without integration were penalized.

Why is Cash Register Integration Mandatory?

The Revenue Administration emphasizes that integration is not merely a technical necessity but also a part of the company's financial discipline. The main objectives are:

Preventing tax losses and reducing informality
Ensuring the reliability of official documents
Clarifying business and software company responsibilities
To accelerate audit processes and increase transparency in financial processes

Risks Awaiting Businesses Using Legacy Systems

Today, businesses that still use legacy systems or non-financially approved POS solutions face serious risks:

Penalties: Special irregularity penalty of up to 10% per transaction
Additional Cost: 10–15% increase in expenses due to legal non-compliance
Dual Responsibility: Both the business and the software company may be held liable for penalties.
Operational Risk: Disruption in business processes due to lack of documentation during audits

At this point, cash register integration is not only a legal requirement; it has also become a fundamental element of the business's financial and operational security.

The Solution to the Cash Register Integration Requirement: Financially Approved and Integrated POS Software

While free or uncertified POS systems may seem like savings in the short term, they create exponentially increasing costs and operational risks in the long run.

Financially approved and integration compatible POS software are:

Guarantees legal compliance
Prevents penalties
Increases operational efficiency
It offers business owners the opportunity to focus on their business with peace of mind.
