What Our Food Scientists Are Saying
- Phosphates are a functional ingredient that affects the meat proteins to improve water-holding capacity and protein extraction which results in a meat product with better bind and improved texture.
- Phosphates can increase cooking yield and shelf life of a processed meats while maintaining juiciness and flavor.
- ICL’s alternative protein product portfolio ingredients are unique and functional while versatile to the boundaries of culinary imagination.
- There are numerous phosphate solutions available based on the customer’s needs. In addition to increasing the water-holding capacity and protein extractions, phosphates also have great buffering capacity and chelating ability.
- Phosphates provide excellent moisture retention in seafood throughout the following processes: soaking, freezing, thawing (if needed) and cooking.
