Functional animal Proteins have an enourmous waterbinding capacity during heating at temperatures above 85 degrees.
fuctional animal protein is porcine dried animal protein suitable for the Meat industry.
Its high emulsifying and gelling capacity stabilizes water and lipids, ensures the cohesion of meat mixes and improves the nutritional value of ready meat products. Hydrated in proportion 1:15, it forms, during heating at temperatures above 85ºC, a stable, non-thermo-reversible gel. This gelforming property as well as the high solubility in brines makes this product suitable for injection in hams.
General applications are: meat replacement, cost optimizing, yield increase.
