Improving Texture in Upcycled Cheese Applications

Upcycled food is on the rise and manufacturers are trying to capitalize on this growing trend to reduce product waste, especially in the processed cheese space. Working with processed cheese containing upcycled raw materials can prove difficult at times for formulators as textural attributes like firmness and meltability can vary greatly compared to traditional processed cheese.

Innophos has solved this industry challenge with Textur-Melt® NM69 Specialty Blend which helps ensure consistent melt in processed cheese applications using upcycled raw materials. Textur-Melt reduces variability in firmness and meltability in upcycled cheese applications and helps ensure a moist final product, all while helping to support manufacturers' commitment to the environment by aiding in food waste reduction efforts.
