Phosphates, Enzymes and Yeast Extracts

Phosphates, enzymes, and yeast extracts are essential ingredients widely used in the food industry, each offering unique properties and functionalities that contribute to the quality, flavour, and texture of various food products.
Phosphates are commonly used as food additives to improve the moisture retention and texture of processed meats, poultry, and seafood products. They are highly soluble in water and have excellent water-binding and emulsifying properties. As such, phosphates enhance the juiciness and tenderness of these types of products while preventing moisture loss during cooking and storage. Phosphates can also be utilized in baked goods for improving dough stability and for providing a softer crumb texture.

Enzymes are natural proteins that act as catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions in food processing. Each enzyme has specific functions and can break down complex molecules into simpler ones.

Yeast extracts are concentrated products, rich in flavour compounds like amino acids, nucleotides, and peptides. They are used as natural flavour enhancers and taste modulators in various food applications. They are commonly used in soups, sauces, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals to improve flavour, depth, and complexity. Yeast extracts are also utilized in the production of savory seasoning blends and bouillon cubes, providing a rich and savory base for numerous dishes.

Mustards

Mustard seeds are commonly used as whole seeds or ground into powder to add flavour and heat to a wide range of dishes. They are a key ingredient in various spice blends, marinades, pickles, sauces and, of course, in mustard itself. Mustard flour is created by finely grinding the seeds into a powder. It is a potent and convenient way to incorporate mustard flavour into dishes. It retains the same pungency and strong flavour as mustard seeds. The grinding process, however, makes it easier to mix with other ingredients and imparts a more immediate punch of flavour when used in cooking. Mustard flour is therefore frequently used as a dry spice in rubs, marinades, and spice blends, providing a concentrated burst of mustard flavour. Additionally, mustard flour can be combined with liquids to create a paste or condiment, that are commonly used in various culinary preparations. Both mustard seeds and mustard flour help add depth and character to a wide range of recipes. As a popular spice with a long history of culinary use, mustard continues to be a beloved and essential component for many applications.
