Cold Soluble Gelatin-FoodGel™LR01

The Main Purpose

– Meat Adhesive Used as a binder for minced meat. Foodgel CWG-01 is colorless and tasteless, has superior bonding effect. Highly stable and easy to operate, bonds small pieces of meat into larger pieces without extra procedures. Can be used on almost all meats such as mutton, beef, pork, chicken, fish, etc., and presents little trace of bonding. Finished products are resistant to high-temperature cooking, frying and easy to cut. On top of that, its water binding capacity give the finished product, whether it’s made with raw meat or heated, outstanding mouthfeel after cooking, maintaining a fresh look of the final product. Using the product would bring benefits including but not limited to yield increasing of minced meat, cost reducing etc. The main ingredient of it is collagen which is healthy and safe.

– Thickener In comparison to conventional gelatin, the Foodgel CWG-01 is cost saving & easy to operate in producing cake and confectioneries due to its cold-water solubility which requires no extra step of heating up. Therefore, Foodgel CWG-01 can be mixed with other ingredients altogether to boost efficiency and reduce potential risk of contaminating during the production. Additionally, it’s a healthier choice to other thickeners because it is made from collagen.

Application Guide

Foodgel CWG-01 is usually compounded with Transglutaminase (TG enzyme) when used as meat glue. TG enzyme is a type of active single protein with 38,000 Dal which consists of 331 amino acids. It catalyzes the intra- and inter-molecular covalent cross-linking of protein and peptides, thereby improving the structure and function of the protein which eventually leads to an improved flavor, texture, appearance, and mouthfeel in finished products. Considering the traditional process for meat products requires adding phosphates which possess potential risk to health, Foodgel CWG-01 is a healthier choice while maintaining or even improving the water holding capability, bonding and texture of the finished products.
