How can we help you ?
After many years of application researches, Galactic has developed low salt solutions for meat formulations.
Through this initiative, we offer you the possibility to reduce the salt content in your product without compromising on quality and taste.
Therefore you can contribute to achieving the recommended dietary intakes of 2g of salt per day (World Health Organization).
Salt (NaCl) is added to meat for several purposes such as: preservation, water retention, as well as taste and color stabilization.
Sodium comes from table salt, sodium additives, nitrites, and other added salts during manufacturing and cooking processes.
Existing solutions allowing you to reduce salt levels in meat formulations will have an impact on the quality of the end product:
Added salt can be reduced but will have an impact on taste and texture.
Nitrites can be reduced, however this will cause a loss of color stability.
Sodium based additives can be replaced by other ingredients; however this will have a negative impact on taste and preservation.
Our Promeat Plus range allows you to reduce all sodium sources without negative impact on taste, color, texture and preservation.
