Degussa Introduce Emulsifier for Fine Pâtés

EMULTOP is an all-natural lecithin product based on vegetable oilseeds such as soybeans.

Degussa say that with the introduction of EMULTOP as a natural emulsifier for pâtés and liver sausages, health-conscious consumers will no longer need to cheat on their diet when eating indulgent meat products of that kind.

EMULTOP is an all-natural lecithin product based on vegetable oilseeds such as soybeans. Lecithin is a food ingredient traditionally considered to have nutritionally beneficial effects, for which it is also widely used in dietary supplements.

The advantages of the use of EMULTOP are numerous. “Thanks to its emulsifying capacity, the use of EMULTOP in pâtés ensures optimum emulsion stability, providing at the same time a very spreadable texture with an excellent creamy mouthfeel”, says Frederic Ballber, Global Applications Manager Meat at Degussa Food Ingredients/Texturant Systems.

In addition, although it is used at a very low dosage level, it ensures that the fat is kept evenly dispersed throughout the product, thus preventing separation during cooking. As such, EMULTOP is a technologically and economically perfect alternative to other emulsifiers with the additional major advantage of label friendliness.
