Injection/tumbled marinades |
We offer unique starches designed for injection and tumbled meat marinades that improve quality and storage stability. You'll get juicier products with no flavour interference. Plus, they'll hold up to many freeze/thaw cycles and maintain a juicy bite.
Emulsified and meat analogues |
Using our starches in your meat products will improve the firmness and the chew of your meat without interfering with the flavour. You'll get a product that has a longer shelf life and tastes just as juicy and flavourful as it was meant.
Ground and formed |
Use our starches in ground and formed meat to help increase yields with no flavour interference. Our starch can also serve as a fat mimetic to reduce fat but maintain the meaty taste, structure and texture customers want.
