Texture solutions for prepared foods
From refrigerated meal kits and frozen foods to boxed skillet creations, ready meals continue to garner market share, particularly as busy consumers balance making health-forward options at home without wanting to cook from scratch. Maintaining a product’s texture over distribution and shelf life is paramount to the success of any food—an increasingly challenging task in light of clean label preferences. Starches and hydrocolloids can be part of the solution.
