Carfosel® 950

Following market needs and customer’s feed back, Prayon

has been working over the last months on the development
of a new highly soluble phosphate specialty aiming to
bring new performances to the meat and seafood
industry.

As a result, we present Carfosel® 950 as an unique Prayon blend dedicated

for your products.

Carfosel® 950 is a mix of sodium and potassium salts designed for the
development of any injected/marinated meat or fish products.

Main properties of Carfosel® 950 :

1. A VERY HIGH DISSOLUTION SPEED

Under standard dissolution conditions Carfosel® 950 is dissolved in about 5
seconds. This is less than half the time needed for a STPP Granular product
(12 seconds) and much better than the powder STPP (about 40 seconds). This
is highlighted in the attached chart.

2. A VERY HIGH SOLUBILITY

Up to 70 g of Carfosel® 950 can be dissolved in 100 ml distilled water at 20°C
without noticing any saturation problem.

In the case of concentrated brine the total solubility of

Carfosel® 950 remains around 40 g even at low temperature
(4°C).

As a comparison, the total solubility of STPP is around 14 g

in distilled water and this figure decreases to less than 1 g when salted brine is
involved.

These figures are summarised in the chart below

3. A HIGH pH: the pH of Carfosel® 950 is about

9.9 - 10.1 which is the optimal pH for water binding.
As a consequence the water retention capability of
the meat is enhanced.

4. CARFOSEL® 950 does contain a majority of

tripolyphosphates (E451) but also a large amount of
diphosphates (E450) which ensure an optimal extraction of salt-soluble
proteins and hence an optimal ham texture and a very good sliceability.

5. CARFOSEL® 950 contains a certain amount of potassium and this turns

the product into an ideal ingredient for promoting sodium reduction.

In short, Carfosel® 950 should be an

ideal product to bring new possibilities
of development.
