Premium Ingredients has announced Premitex XLK-15043, an analogue pizza cheese stabiliser that is designed for all types of machinery, facilitating the manufacture of the final product, and Premitex XLK-15067, which is aimed at companies interested in developing vegan products.
Premitex XLK-15043 allows the manufacturing of the final product in simple machines and less optimized than expensive twin screw equipment with direct steam injection. It is said to facilitate the process of making analogue cheese. Premitex XLK-15067 is said to be ideal for making vegan high quality cheese without animal protein.Premitex XLK-15043 is a stabiliser based on starches, hydrocolloids and melting salts, and adapted to any type of machinery. The company says it makes it possible to produce mozzarella analogues in equipment which are not optimized for this task in terms of speed stirring and heating, as traditional spinners. Therefore, it is specifically designed for SMEs and companies in which investment in cookers or twin screw blenders with direct steam injection is not an option, a situation in which Premium says a large number of cheesemakers are found throughout the world.
