Danisco Launches Guardian Green Tea Extracts for Meat

22/03/07 Succulent textures, great taste and natural protection are major benefits for meat products made with ingredient solutions from Danisco. At IFFA 2007 in Frankfurt from 5-10 May, the leading food ingredient company will present its latest value-adding opportunities.

Food safety is top of the agenda. Responding to the escalating demand for processed meat and poultry with a safer, healthier brand image, Danisco is launching GUARDIAN Green Tea Extracts with natural antioxidative properties that preserve pure meat flavours throughout shelf life. In tests, cost-effective GUARDIAN Green Tea Extracts secure superior flavour and colour stability to more traditional technologies.

Manufacturers of dried and semi-dried cured meats can also obtain vital colour and flavour development using another of Danisco’s natural solutions. TEXEL DCM-1 Meat Culture optimises the quality of meats such as dried ham at low processing temperatures and, by helping to control nitrosamine generation, contributes to healthier end products in compliance with new EU rules.

Improving the quality of sausages and upgrading meat trimmings to high-value products, Danisco’s innovative stabiliser systems are an efficient alternative to traditional stabilisers. Patent-pending GRINDSTED Meatline 345 A stands out for its ability to stabilise fat emulsions in sausage processing, enabling the use of liquid vegetable oil and improving water-binding. Frankfurters and mortadella, for example, gain from a satisfying bite and texture, reduced cooking loss and minimal syneresis. Using GRINDSTED MEATBINDER, manufacturers can bind odd-shaped meat pieces and trimmings to form high quality burgers, nuggets or medallions with a muscle-like structure - all on standard meat processing equipment.
