Besides enhancing the appearance and flavor of products, NutriLean® protein also enhances the net yield. Since the food retains more moisture, the yield typically increases by 3.5 to 5% for par-fried and fully cooked items. This, along with a reduction in oil usage of up to 40%, often combine to cover the cost of the NutriLean® protein for large volume processors.
NutriLean® protein can be shipped to processors in two forms. As a ready to use liquid in 275-gallon disposable totes, or as an easy-mix powder in poly-lined fiber drums. Pricing available upon request; please contact info@proteusindustries.com for more information.
