GPI 520 is a food-grade carrageenan blend designed for highly extended further processed emulsified meats like hotdogs, Vienna sausages and frankfurters. This powerful stabilizer manages the emulsion during processing and after cooking, increasing batter viscosity, controlling syneresis, and adding firmness to the finished product.
With GPI 520, formulators can extend yields of emulsified meat products by 80% or more, while still keeping the emulsion stable. It expertly controls fat separation during cooking, ensuring processors can maintain yield, consistency and quality. The high gel strength of GPI 520 significantly improves the texture of meat emulsions, delivering a satisfying, firm bite. Its ability to increase batter viscosity improves handleability, making processing smoother and more efficient.
To use GPI 520, add this hydrocolloid blend during mixing or before emulsifying. Ideal for a range of emulsified meats, GPI 520 enhances yield and texture in products like sausages, hot dogs, mortadella, and bologna.
