√Poultry launched for better moisture retention

Vitiva, Slovenia, launches vPoultry, a readymade solution for poultry moisture retention and anti-rancidity protection, to the poultry market in Europe.

It is a unique combination of natural salt – special naturally mineral-rich sea salt, and Vitiva’s patented VivOX®4 formulation. √Poultry is a result of Vitiva joint venture with FutureMeat, the Netherlands.

√Poultry is a complete natural replacement for phosphates and other synthetic moisture-retention ingredients as well as synthetic antioxidants used in poultry processing making it a preferred moisture-retention ingredient for poultry, says Vitivia. It enables exceptional water binding features, improves juiciness and mouth feel, the company adds.

“Beyond its unique features and advantages in comparison to other synthetic ingredients used in poultry processing, √Poultry is very cost effective for natural liquid binding since it provides better yield and enhanced antirancidity protection of the product in comparison to traditional phsophates and antioxidants,” says Ohad Cohen, CEO of Vitiva.

√Poultry is a perfect natural choice for poultry producers seeking innovative and easy-to-use ingredients without compromising on product quality, believes Vivita. Its features include: increasing yield up to 20% as opposed to non-injected poultry; it’s heat stable during processing; it maintains its anti-oxidative activity at temperatures up to 240°C; and it provides a complete anti-rancidity protection while increasing product shelf-life. √Poultry also enables lower injection rates, resulting in introducing less liquid and keeping the natural meat juices.
