Sunsweet Amaz!n Plums -- Formulating Premium Burgers, Meatballs and Sausages (November 2017) - 3

Dried Plum Puree
Made from a blend of dried plums and
prune juice concentrate, this puree is
high in sorbitol, a natural humectant, and
has a tangy flavor similar to molasses.
When used in sausage formulas, dried
plum puree lowers drip loss while
imparting rich mouthfeel. Its high level
of antioxidants also suppresses lipid
oxidation. The suggested usage levels for
moisture binding in sausages is between
1% and 3% of the weight of the meat.
Sorbitol: 14.73%
Fiber: 4.53% soluble; 1.17% insoluble
pH: 3.7-4.2

Fresh Plum Concentrate
Made from the juice of fresh prune
plums, fresh plum concentrate can be
used in ground meat and poultry items
for moisture binding. It is especially good
for lighter-colored foods, such as chicken
sausages. Its high level of antioxidants
suppresses lipid oxidation, helping to
extend display life and prevent the
formation of off flavors. The suggested
usage levels for moisture binding is
between 0.5% and 1.1% of the weight of
the meat.
Sorbitol: 14.42%
Fiber: 1.54% soluble; 0.23% insoluble
pH: 3.4-3.9

Dried Plum Powder
Ground from whole prunes, this
deep, reddish-brown plum powder is
hygroscopic and slightly tacky to the
touch. In meat and poultry, it looks like
ground black pepper. It also has the
capacity to enhance flavors without
imparting much of its own flavor. The
powder retains moisture and absorbs
purge. When used in ground meat
products, it also enhances caramelization
while staving off lipid oxidation. Use up
to 0.5% of the weight of the meat.
Sorbitol: 17.65%
Fiber: 7.3% soluble; 4.5% insoluble
