Proteins love proteins. In order to get crumbs, batters and breadings to stick to a meat substrate, you must first use a protein or a binder. While we prefer an egg wash followed by a quick dip in flour as the traditional binder, we have a pantry full of ingredients that can help you get your crumbs to stop dropping!! HOW CAN I BIND WATER WITHIN MY HOT DOGS, BRATS AND SAUSAGES? We have all seen it. That watery pink liquid in the plastic wrapper of our hot dogs and wonder whether or not they are still good to eat. Why? What’s happening? As proteins age, they begin to lose the ability to hold water and myoglobin (that pink liquid). It is a very natural occurrence, but it is just so unappealing. Water loving binders can solve the problem… all you need to do is give us a call and let us work with you to keep your product looking fresh, young and scrumptious! DOES VEGAN SEAFOOD EXIST? Oh yes! As people look for alternative proteins, lots and lots of vegan options are emerging everywhere. We have helped many firms develop delicious shrimp, crab, tuna and other delicacies from the sea. You will see that nearly everything from the sea can be fish free! Ready to talk? Are you looking for spec sheets, samples or prices? We would love to chat about how we can help.
