Semi-Refined Kappa Carrageenan for Meat Products
Brief Introduction for Carrageenan Injection Meat Foods
- Natural seaweed extracted material;
- High yield & econimic;
- Low viscosity;
- High transparency & gel strength.
Carrageenan would gelatinate, wet, emulsify and shape meat goods, improve elasticity and tastes of meat products. Meat goods treated with carrageenan has property of exquisite structure, sheet-cutting property, appropriate toughness, excellent elasticity and non sweating. Carrageenan is mainly suitable for toasted meat goods.
Application of Carrageenan:
- Processed Meat > substitutes fat and serves as meat extender and binder; enhances juiciness;increases yield; prevents fat separation;
- Processed Poultry > controls dehydration while frozen; enhances juiciness and increases yield;
- Milk/Chocolate Milk Drink/Juice > stabilizes and improves viscosity;
- Ice Cream > prevents large ice crystal formation; enhances excellent flavor release;
- Flan/Dessert Gel/Confectionery >- serves as gelling agent; enhances flavor release and excellent mouthfeel;
- Bread/ Noodle/Pasta > increases yield and improves texture and mouthfeel;
- Cakes/Pastries > substitutes butter and improves texture and mouthfeel
- Sauce/Salad Dressing > thickens and improves viscosity;
- Beer/Wine/Vinegar > accelerates and improves clarity.
