5 May 2010 --- Vitiva, Slovenia has launched √Poultry, a readymade solution for poultry moisture retention and anti-rancidity protection, to the poultry market in Europe. It is a unique combination of natural salt - special naturally mineral-rich sea salt, and Vitiva’s patented VivOX4 formulation. √Poultry is a result of Vitiva joint venture with FutureMeat, The Netherlands.
√Poultry is a complete natural replacement for phosphates and other synthetic moisture-retention ingredients as well as synthetic antioxidants used in poultry processing making it a preferred moisture-retention ingredient for poultry. It enables exceptional water binding features, improves juiciness and mouth feel.
“Beyond its unique features and advantages in comparison to other synthetic ingredients used in poultry processing, √Poultry is very cost effective for natural liquid binding since it provides better yield and enhanced antirancidity protection of the product in comparison to traditional phsophates and antioxidants,” says Ohad Cohen, CEO of Vitiva.
√Poultry is a perfect natural choice for poultry producers seeking innovative and easy-to-use ingredients without compromising on product quality. Its outstanding features include: increasing yield up to 20 % as opposed to non-injected poultry; it’s heat stable during processing; it maintains its anti-oxidative activity even at temperatures up to 240°C; and it provides a complete anti-rancidity protection while increasing product shelf life. √Poultry also enables lower injection rates, resulting in introducing less liquid and keeping the natural meat juices.
