Industry Applications Overview

Z Trim� multifunctional dietary fiber ingredients help food companies meet formulation and product objectives, solve end-product performance problems, capture market opportunities, and delight consumers. In applications like soups, sauces, dressings, doughs, coatings and meats � and when these products are combined as components in prepared meals, pizza, and hand-held microwave snacks � no other single fiber or hydrocolloid ingredient provides so many superior attributes. That�s a strong claim that our customers know is valid.

Depending on the required attributes and performance of finished products, its unique formulation properties enable Z Trim� powder to be used alone or in combination with other ingredients such as hydrocolloids and emulsifiers. Z Trim incorporates easily into most existing manufacturing processes, and is stable across a wide pH and temperature range.

With its high water holding capacity and unique structural properties, Z Trim� fiber ingredients are frequently used to manage moisture, provide texture, stabilize emulsions, add structure, and enhance mouthfeel. Z Trim can also replace portions of added fats such as oil, butter, margarine, egg, and dairy fat, thereby reducing trans and saturated fats and calories by replacing them, economically, with tightly bound water � all without reducing taste, texture, or mouthfeel!
