Z TRIM�: WHERE LESS MEANS MORE

The New Generation of Cellulose

Mundelein, IL (November 1, 2011) - It�s a simple fact. You�ll use less Z Trim� in formulation than microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and get better results. Typical usage levels of Z Trim� range from �% to 2%. The less is more scenario plays out in multiple convenient, functional and profitable ways for food formulators who also have the assurance that Z Trim supply is consistent and available. A few �less is more� highlights:

Less time. Z Trim is easily dispersible and incorporates into formulation without any special processing equipment or added steps. It hydrates quickly to form a proper gel structure and Z Trim is never gritty, instantly delivering a smooth mouthfeel.

More binding. Z Trim�s superior water binding capabilities helps hold other liquids and ingredients in place to prevent pooling, weeping, separation and settling in an emulsified system. This water holding capacity not only means easier moisture management but also translates into greater profit potential for your company.

More yield. The water binding capacity of Z Trim not only enhances texture; it extends the yield and shelf life of certain foods, such as baked goods. Its amorphous cellular structure enhances freeze-thaw and heat stability.

More stability. An amorphous short-chain cellulose, Z Trim creates a soft gel that retains its integrity, unlike a longer chain polymer that breaks under pressure. Z Trim holds up well under a broad range of pH and temperatures and withstands shear.

More confidence. All of the major research groups report that consumers worldwide are driving demands for clean labels. Depending on which type of Z Trim your formulation requires, Z Trim is listed as either corn or oat fiber. This means more consumer confidence in your clean label.

Z Trim� is a multi-functional cellulose ingredient derived from natural sources such as oat bran or corn bran. This new generation of cellulose ingredients contributes multifunctional attributes for food product design and processing, including moisture management, texture and appearance quality, fat and calorie reduction, clean labeling, and cost-control. Z Trim� can provide enhanced eating quality, outstanding product performance, and frequently, improved nutritional profiles in meats, sauces, dressings, microwaveable hand-held snacks, baked goods, fillings, toppings, prepared meals, ice cream, cream cheese, dips, and many other food products.
