Functional binder and emulsifier for formulating re-formed and comminuted meat products

Following a major scientific breakthrough by Ulrick & Short Ltd, the leading clean label ingredients specialist has announced the launch of its brand new functional binder and emulsifier for formulating re-formed and comminuted meat products.

Complex E is the latest addition to Ulrick & Short”s long established range of clean label wheat proteins and was designed to provide meat processors with greater formulation flexibility at a significantly lower cost than other binders already on the market.

With the meat industry coming under the spotlight again with more stringent ingredient regulations, the timing of Complex E”s launch is perfect. Complex E meets the needs of the industry, which is crying out for a highly functional clean label binding solution that can deliver on succulence, taste, texture and quality. 

Ulrick & Short developed Complex E using an intricate method of fractionation and extraction, where less protein and more carbohydrate and pentozans from the wheat were utilised. This unique process gives meats including sausages, burgers and processed meats a firmer texture, superior eating quality and enhanced water binding and emulsification capabilities.
This new clean label wheat extract will provide meat processors with innumerable opportunities to create countless new products, where Complex E has the added benefit of being able to be declared as a kitchen cupboard staple, “wheat flour”.

Ulrick & Short is continually working towards helping the food industry meet the increasing number of stringent regulations from government authorities and the company is confident that its latest clean label solution will help the meat industry adhere to the rigorous food standards guidelines.  
The Complex range was originally created to replace soya proteins in meat and is now firmly established as a functional ingredient in its own right. The highly functional range of Complex ingredients produce exact textures required, whilst improving product appearance, shape retention and flavours.
Complex E is an exciting addition to Ulrick & Short”s portfolio and opens up many more possibilities for meat producers. It highlights the company”s innovative development techniques and reinforces its commitment to helping the food industry identify clean label ingredient alternatives at affordable prices.

Ulrick & Short has a broad range of innovative clean label ingredients, which include binders, emulsifiers, bakery glazes, fat replacers and phosphate alternatives, allowing food processors to remove chemicals, additives and allergens without compromising quality, taste or texture.
