Frutarom Savory Solutions Creates Solution for Fish in Sausage Form
The fish version is considerably lower in fat than conventional sausage from pork or beef and contains valuable omega-3 fatty acids.
5/31/2011 --- Frutarom Savory Solutions GmbH has developed a compound for sausage from fish which neatly links the popular consumer trends for snacking and following a healthy diet. The fish version is considerably lower in fat than conventional sausage from pork or beef and contains valuable omega-3 fatty acids. Selected natural ingredients ensure that the end product has a pleasant spiciness and texture.
With this compound, Frutarom Savory Solutions has developed a product that allows manufacturers to present fish in a new form. It is available in several varieties containing different seasonings, and only has to be mixed with minced fish, oil, ice and salt to form a homogeneous mass which is then processed into sausage. Manufacturing is quite simple, but requires a cutter and a sausage filler. In addition to the compound, Frutarom Savory Solutions is offering a recipe and a curry sauce which enables the sausage to be presented in the style of the popular German “Currywurst” snack.
The fish sausage compound has high temperature- and freeze-thaw stability and is thus particularly suitable for manufacturers of convenience, restaurant chain and canteen meals. The innovative product also enables catering companies and producers of delicacies to extend their fish portfolio.
Stephanie Peters, Marketing Communication Manager Frutarom Savory Solutions, explains: “With this product, we are focusing on target groups who are curious about trying out new products and flavour variations. The fish snack is also a healthy alternative for consumers who want to follow a conscious diet without relinquishing certain types of food. The spicy taste and pleasant texture also convince consumers who are not normally fans of fish. Our aim is to make the ”Currywurst” style fish sausage popular in Germany and abroad.”
Currywurst is a traditional fast food snack in Germany, where its popularity is comparable to the burger in the US or fish and chips in the UK. In its conventional form, it consists of bite-sized pieces of pork or beef sausage in a sauce based on tomato pulp or ketchup.
