Meat & Meat Substitutes

QUALITY, FLAVOUR, AND JUICINESS

Lactosan Cheese Powders are ideal for enhancing the quality, flavour, and juiciness of both meat and meat substitute products. Our extensive research into the functional properties of cheese powder shows how it can naturally boost savoury flavours, enhance umami and kokumi, and reduce the need for artificial additives such as MSG.

Flavour remains the number one challenge in plant-based and meat alternative products.

We can support you in developing innovative products that meet precise flavour profiles while aligning with clean-label and declaration requirements.

Perfect for Meat and Meat Substitutes

As well as delivering a delicious taste, our Cheese Powders can help to improve juiciness across a wide range of products — including fermented and emulsified sausages, meatballs, and brines used for injection or tumbling processes.

We collaborate with international universities to explore how Cheese Powder can give meat substitutes a more authentic, meaty flavour and enhance the taste of added spices. This ongoing research allows us to provide detailed documentation on the functional benefits of Cheese Powder, supporting both your production processes and marketing efforts.
