Today’s consumers naturally expect good taste and consistently high quality; but they also demand more: natural, safe meat products, that are lower in salt and fat, free from allergens and E-numbers, and made from sustainable raw materials. To meet these challenges processed meat manufacturers require new ingredients, enabling innovation yet at an acceptable cost.
Promish™ is a range of high performance protein ingredients derived from a vegetable source: the potato. They combine the best of animal and vegetable proteins, delivering superior functionality with a clean label. Promish™ is low-allergenic, unlike many other functional proteins such as soy, milk or egg, and is kosher / Halal approved.
In a wide range of processed meat applications, ranging from cooked emulsions - sausages, luncheon meat, paté - and injected or tumbled meats - ham, poultry - to surimi and meat analogues, Promish™ exhibits an excellent combination of emulsifying and gelling properties. While the good solubility offers better convenience, no pre-emulsification step required, easy brine preparation, the improved heat- and texture stability provides enhanced quality attributes, such as mouth feel, ‘knack’ or sliceability, often at a clearly lower dosage than alternative proteins.
