Phosphate Replacement for Poultry

Vitiva recently launched Poultry, a ready-made solution for poultry moisture retention and anti-rancidity protection, to the poultry market in Europe. The combination of mineral-rich sea salt and Vitivas VivOX®4 formulation is a natural replacement for phosphates and other synthetic moisture-retention ingredients, as well as synthetic antioxidants used in poultry processing. It offers water-binding features and improved juiciness and mouthfeel.

Poultry increases yield up to 20% as opposed to non-injected poultry; is heat-stable during processing; maintains antioxidative activity even at temperatures up to 240°C; and provides a complete anti-rancidity protection while increasing product shelf life. Poultry also enables lower injection rates, resulting in introduction of less liquid and retention of natural meat juices.
