Meat and vegetarian stabilisers on show at IFFA

Stabilisers for sausage and vegetarian products are to be unveiled at IFFA, the international meat show held in Frankfurt later this month.

Focusing on “simple and economical”​ meat or vegetarian and vegan alternatives, Hydrosol’s new stabilising systems are claimed to improve water binding, shaping and sliceability.

Even at higher yields, products made with the stabilisers offer minimal syneresis (release of protein moisture) and retain an appetising appearance, the company said.

All-in compound​

Hydrosol’s new HydroTOP VEG all-in compound with a mild basic seasoning targeted the growing demand for vegetarian and vegan products.

The integrated compound can be used to make many different meatless products, from vegetarian sausages to Bavarian-style meat loaf.

Part of the Stern-Wywiol Gruppe, the company also offers a wide range of stabilisers for poultry products like cold cuts, sausages, and nuggets. This includes functional systems that reduce the production cost of poultry sausages.

It can also develop products to customer order.

Speciality flavours​

Also at IFFA, US grain giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) will launch a selection of speciality flavours, colours and extracts that work alongside its range of soya proteins, ancient grains and edible beans.

RAPS, meanwhile, will showcase its vegetarian alternatives and a fiery chilli range. Through its Performance Food Market, the German company will highlight its in-depth knowledge of ‘on-trend’ topics such as salt reduction and clean-labelling.

IFFA runs from May 7–12 in Frankfurt, Germany.
