Meat, fish and poultry are increasingly viewed as expensive meal options, but this doesn't have to be the case. Offering processing benefits that result in reduced costs, our functional starch solutions are the key to savings for both you and your customers.

As well as saving you money, our high performance starches boost the shelf life, succulence and texture of your meat products. Plus, these affordable solutions can replace fat without impacting on product quality.

Better water binding

For a higher yield of sausages, burgers or paté, choose from our extensive spectrum of starch solutions for adding value and moisture. Our ingredients' strong water-binding capabilities will make your products' meat content go further, making meat-based meals more affordable for consumers.

Phasing out phosphate

With phosphate prices predicted to remain high, we offer effective alternatives for manufacturers of burgers, fish, chicken or ham. Unlike phosphates, these ingredients offer price stability and a clean label. Their excellent water-binding properties lock in succulence and flavour, delivering premium quality perception at a practical price.

Soy protein and caseinate substitution

By substituting soy protein and costly caseinate with our innovative starches, sausage manufacturers can reduce recipe costs without compromising quality.
