  • Application:

    Hydro-P Premium is fully soluble, making it a perfect protein source, especially for:

    • Tumbled products (whole muscle meat, ham, shoulder, etc.)
    • Injected products (fresh meat, bacon, ham, shoulder, etc.)

    Evidence:

    Although Hydro-P Premium does not gel when cooked with water at any ratio, the protein does increase the cooking yield of meat products. If you apply it in a meat matrix, Hydro-P Premium will contribute to a significant increase of water retention levels and yield, compared to the reference product without added protein. Below, we have summed up the results of a trial with injected cooked ham (injection level 45%). The reference ham in this trial did not contain any added protein; the test ham was treated with 0,8% Hydro-P premium protein enrichment on the final product.

    Hydro-P Premium reduces the cooking loss by half and significantly increases yield in trial
