Protein Management is an overlooked opportunity for retaining flavor. ICL Food Specialties is a leading technology resource for ingredient systems that manage protein more effectively with the more challenging safety requirements.

ICL’s highly skilled application experts understand the delicate art of product formulation and work in partnership with customers to create innovations that satisfy ever-changing market and consumer trends. Ingredient systems can be complex and are often times reliant upon other complementary products to deliver the best results.

With great ingredients and processing techniques, ICL believes meat and poultry processors can stay on-trend—without having to sacrifice taste, texture or stability. In fact, ICL invited manufacturers the company’s booth at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE), January 26-28, 2015, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

“IPPE is the leading poultry event in North America, and the ICL Food Specialties team is looking forward to demonstrating new application innovations that provide operational processing advantages to meet the ever-changing requirements of today’s meat and poultry,” says Jim Anderson, Regional Market Segment Leader, North America – Meat, Poultry, Seafood. “We have completed extensive research with new technologies for a variety of meat and poultry applications that deliver improved yield and flavor by managing proteins more effectively throughout the process.”

ICL hosted visitors at BOOTH B7245 and its chefs sampled an Asian-inspired chicken stir-fry with Udon noodles. ICL featured new functional ingredients in this flavorful dish including:

Asian Chicken Marinade:

• TARI® COMBI CP 4 - A unique system that delivers succulence at higher processing temperatures, ideal for multiple thermalizations and extended hold times. It’s specially formulated to perform in products with higher cook temperatures. (175° - 195° F.)

• BRIFISOL® 750 - A highly soluble phosphate system ideal for reduced sodium applications that delivers a clean flavor and optimum yields under more challenging operational conditions.

• Salona® - A low sodium natural sea salt derived from minerals that are sustainably sourced directly from the Dead Sea. Delivers flavor enhancement and sodium reduction with a 25-50% replacement of sodium chloride.

Noodles:
