A range of meat proteins has been launched in response to growing demand from the food industry for nutritionally high-protein products.

The new beef, chicken and pork powders are made from 100% natural meat-based ingredients, according to maker Essentia Protein Solutions.

The products, which contain a minimum of 90% protein, were ideal for food manufacturers looking to enrich protein levels in everyday products, or to meet nutritionally balanced requirements, Essentia said.

Non-functional

They are also non-functional, which means their addition does not affect the finished product’s eating characteristics.

Tom Cooke, Essentia’s regional director for UK and Ireland, said: “Simply by adding our natural meat protein nutrition range, you can boost the protein content of your food product without any change to its integrity.”

100% soluble

According to Cooke, the convenience of protein powders means products are 100% soluble and very well suited to a wide range of food applications – from soups, sauces, meat products and ready meals, to protein bars and drinks – for those needing a balanced diet.

“We are proud to bring these nutritional products to the UK market. It’s a logical extension to our existing product portfolio,”​ he added.

Essentia has also developed software that evaluates recipes and products and then identifies and advises on additional requirements to meet protein targets or labelling claims.
