BakeSave

Functional Performance in Baking and Filling Systems

BakeSave promotes essential benefits for bakery formulations by acting directly on the structural and sensorial stability of products:

  • Preserves softness and internal texture, even after prolonged storage, avoiding a dry or aged appearance;
  • Maintains systems integrity stuffed, preventing syneresis and moisture migration between layers;
  • Contributes to a thicker crust uniform and moister interior, valuing the sensorial experience in products such as bread, fine cakes and pastries;
  • Promotes the expansion and lightness of the dough, supporting the structure during and after supplying;
  • Stabilizes systems with high fat or sugar content, without compromising the final texture.

Ideal for baked goods with a long shelf life, frozen applications, and thermally processed fillings, BakeSave delivers precise functionality with consistent sensory benefits.

Global processed meat market

Growth Projection

The global processed meat market has surpassed
USD950 billion
and should continue to grow, driven by convenience, affordable protein and ready-to-eat formats.

New Demands

This growth, although, brings challenges:

  • rising protein and additive costs;
  • demand for cleaner labels;
  • need to reduce fat without compromising texture or performance;
  • functional stability in frozen products, pasteurized or reformulated.

Meat Save is a natural functional fiber obtained from citrus peel through a process without effluents.

Its structure acts as a functional matrix capable of retaining water, fat and maintain cohesion in meat systems.

With multiple functions — texturing, emulsification, liquid retention and thermal stability — suitable for hamburgers, sausages, kebabs, meatballs, plant-based restructured and hybrid products.

Challenge

Moisture Retention and Juiciness

Fat reduction directly compromises the juiciness and yield of products.

According to FMCG Gurus (2024), more than 60% of consumers seek lighter meats, but do not accept loss of texture or flavor.

MeatSave acts as a functional water retention network, reducing cooking losses and prolonging the sensation of humidity.

In tests with hamburgers with 30% less fat, cooking loss fell from 25% to 13% with application of 1,2% of MeatSave.

Additive Replacement (Phosphates, Rubbers, CMC)

The replacement of synthetic additives is one of the strongest demands in regulated markets such as the European Union and North America.

MeatSave allows you to eliminate phosphates, CMC and gummies, maintaining texture and stability.

With a single natural ingredient, it is possible to achieve cohesion, thermal stability and clean label — without compromising shelf life or performance.

Cost Reduction with Quality Preservation

The increase in the cost of protein and fat requires reformulations guided by economic viability.

According to Statista*, the average price of beef increased 18% in the last two years.

In meatballs and kebabs, or use of 0,8% a 1% of MeatSave made it possible to reduce up to 12% of meat or fat and more than 10% in cost per kilo, maintaining sensory acceptance.

Thermal Stability: Freezing and Thawing

Frozen or pasteurized products suffer from syneresis and disruption after preparation.

MeatSave maintains the physical integrity of the formulation during freezing and cooking, avoiding exudation.

In IQF burgers, there was a significant improvement in yield and firmness after cooking directly from the freezer, with consistent texture and stable appearance.

Complexity of Gourmet Formulations

There was an increase in the launch of premium sauces with global spices (barbecue, gochujang, chutney)*.

These formulations require multiphase stability.
