Better beef
Patented Savory-Edge Enhancer for Beef delivers juicy, meaty and rare notes to any beef application. An allergen-free, natural flavor, it has the ability to offset warmed-over beef flavor, as well as “livery-grassy” notes found in lower grades of beef, by enhancing the desirable savory notes. The flavor is built on a multi-phase reaction process of oil, water, air and other enablers that gives it the ability to add multiple flavor dimensions. It can be used as a marinade with any cut of beef, as well as with frozen beef entrees and slow-cooked beef applications. The flavor is kosher certified and available in dry powder.

Accelerated browning
Easy-Brown has been developed to deliver roasted flavor, appealing caramel color and a variety of other benefits in meats, vegetables, and baked goods. In meat or poultry-based applications, it accelerates browning and provides a caramelized color and rich flavor. By reducing the cook times and temperatures, it also helps to improve cook yield. In vegetable applications, the systems help to increase freeze-thaw stability, reduce cook time and shrinkage as well as improve texture. In baked goods applications, they produce a consistent brown color with glossy sheen, prevent moisture migration and can be used to replace liquid egg washes.
