ABOUT Z TRIM�
Z Trim, www.ztrim.com, is a functional food
ingredient and emulsifier and is made from the hulls of either corn or
oat. Z Trim is a versatile product that can serve as a fat replacement,
thickening agent or emulsifier with texturization, binding, shaping,
suspension, water control and pH balance attributes. Z Trim represents
a frequently cost competitive alternative or complement to many of the
oils, gums and starches it can replace. Because Z Trim is non-caloric
dietary fiber, replacement of added fats with Z Trim can achieve up to
80% calorie reduction in many foods without negatively affecting taste
or texture, and can substantially reduce harmful trans and saturated
fats found in many foods. Z Trim has wide application in dairy
products, dressings, dips, sauces, baked goods, processed meats, snack
foods, cookies, pies, cakes, icings, brownies, bars, ice cream, milk
shakes and many other foods.
