- Introduction
- Applications
Consumers expect meat products to be authentic, tasty and fresh and they are turning away from those containing unfamiliar or chemical additives. However, cooked (un)cured meat will lose its stability during the shelf life, for example, pH falls resulting in acidity, white liquid and slime, gas formation and ropiness. How to maintain product quality stabilization with natural consumer-friendly ingredients is an important challenge to many meat manufacturers.
Proteria™ CV is a natural ferment produced by cane sugar fermented with food cultures and blended with vinegar. The product is developed to improve the quality and reduce microbial spoilage of cooked cured meat products.
