Provesta® 224 is a natural yeast based flavour designed to
intensify the perception of cheddar cheese in food formulations. In
many food systems, the use of Provesta® 224 results in a lower total formula cost. In low and reduced fat cheese systems, Provesta® 224 helps mask the bitter and “off” flavour notes that are sometimes present.
Applications
Provesta® 224 may be used in any food system that
requires enhanced cheddar cheese or other aged cheese flavour. It can
be used in natural or imitation cheese, cheese snack seasonings, boxed
pasta seasonings, sauces and cheese flavoured bakery items. Typical
usage rates are 0.5% to 1.0% as consumed or 1.0% to 5.0% in dry mixes.
Benefits
Provesta® 224 is an all natural product designed to enhance cheddar cheese flavour notes while reducing salt usage. Provesta® 224 is microwave and freeze-thaw stable, making it suitable for application in frozen entrees and side dishes. Provesta®
224 is retortable allowing it to be used in canned and aseptically
processed cheese products. In food service applications, Provesta® 224 helps to preserve flavour when products are subjected to long steam table holding times.
