ScanPro™ functional proteins add to the yield, the eating experience and the visual appearance of fresh and processed meat products. For you as a food manufacturer, this translates into higher yield, a more consistent quality and less purge in the final packaging. For consumers, it means improved texture and an appealing product appearance - essential features when it comes to selecting one product rather than another.

ScanPro™ comes as convenient powders that can go directly into your meat recipe – either mixed into ground meat or dissolved in an injectable brine.

Essentia’s functional ingredient solutions are based on proteins derived from pork, beef or poultry. The term functional refers to their unique number of attributes that help improve the texture of meat products.

ScanPro™ is a range of clean label meat-based functional proteins manufactured using only thermal and mechanical processing, thus ensuring a natural and microbiologically stable product.

Our functional proteins are ideal for fresh and processed meats, including coarse ground, fermented, and injected whole muscle applications. The addition of these unique ingredients provides functional benefits such as purge reduction, improved sliceability, increased cook yield and improved shelf life; and allow you to replace expensive ingredients in your application, thereby reducing cost while increasing yield.

The ScanPro™ range:
