Core Tip: Penford Food Ingredients, a leader in innovative carbohydrate systems and technologies, offers a broad portfolio of starches and systems for the health and wellness segment including PenGel 8 designed for protein applications.
PenGel 8 mimics fat to maintain great taste, improve yield, enhance juiciness and tenderness and improve the nutritional profile of food products.

The starch gel is designed to be used in ground sausage and patties, emulsified and meat analogues as well as chopped and formed meat like chicken nuggets. In meat products, PenGel 8 can reduce fat by 25 percent or more.

“With the prevalence of obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol, the demand for more nutritional products – including protein and meat substitutes – is emergent and will continue to grow,” said John Randall, President of Penford Food Ingredients. “PenGel 8 is used to formulate leaner, healthier protein products to meet the demands for better-for-you protein options.”
