MeatShure® Acidulants 

Transform your production process with MeatShure® Acidulants, designed to enhance efficiency and quality in your shelf-stable meat products. 

Benefits.

Improve production capacity

Eliminate the fermentation process from your production of snack sticks, summer sausages and other shelf stable meat products

Formulate without the added sugar

MeatShure® Acidulants replace starter cultures and the sugar source needed to fuel them allowing for no added sugar products 

Deliver consistent pH

MeatShure® Acidulants allow you to deliver consistent pH to your product without damaging the meat block 

Dial in the flavor

With various acids available, you can deliver the flavor profile you desire. Acids include: 

Lactic Acid

Citric Acid

Glucono-Delta-Lactone (GdL)

Imagine how MeatShure® Acidulants can revolutionize your shelf stable meat products! 

Fermentation (Traditional Process)

Traditional semi-dry sausages (summer sausage, meat snack sticks etc.) use fermentation to deliver the flavor, texture, appearance, and shelf-stability desired. Fermentation occurs when a bacterial starter culture (microorganism) convert sugar to lactic acid lowering the pH to deliver the desired attributes. The final pH of the semi-dry sausage is determined by available sugar and fermentation time, easily 8+ hours.

Direct Acidification

Adding MeatShure® encapsulated acids directly into the raw meat batter (Direct Acidification) mimics pH reduction of fermentation, without the time required for fermentation.

Prevent and Eliminate.

The encapsulation of the acidulants prevents raw meat from protein denaturation, and emulsion/batter breakdown.

Encapsulated acids eliminate the need for fermentable sugar.
