Technical Application Guidance

Optimized Ingredient Solutions by Processing Sector

Emulsified Sausages & Frankfurters

Utilize blended phosphates (STPP/TSPP) alongside high-gel soy protein isolates to stabilize meat-fat-water emulsions, enhance casing snap, and reduce cooking purge loss under high thermal processing.

Cured Hams & Whole-Muscle Cuts

Achieve superior brine retention and rapid cure color fixation using highly soluble phosphates, sodium erythorbate, dextrose, and potassium lactate preservation matrices.

Ground Poultry & Fresh Patties

Enhance juiciness, prevent cook-shrinkage, and maintain structural integrity during freezing with functional pea proteins, potato starches, and low-sodium sea salt formulations.
