With processed meat, defatted soya flour, once rehydrated, can serve as a meat replacer from the bare stage. Being plant-based, and with a suitable texture, it extends the shelf-life and adds bulk to ground meat applications by increasing yield, adding juiciness, and lowering the fat content.
For poultry applications such as ground chicken, chicken mince or chicken keema, 10% levels of added LivFlo defatted soya flour can help reduce ingredient costs while lowering the loss of water and/or fat during cooking.
