SMART STABILISATION FOR MINCED & REFORMED MEAT PRODUCTS
As demand for convenience and processed meat products continues to rise across the MENA region, manufacturers face increasing pressure to optimise formulations cost-effectively without compromising on quality or yield.
According to a 2024 report by Mordor Intelligence, the processed meat market in MENA is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% through 2028, driven by the growth of fast food, QSR formats and ready-to-cook protein options. Notably, minced and reformed meat products account for over 55% of regional meat consumption, reinforcing the critical need for robust stabilisation systems that support consistent product quality and cost efficiency.
In response, FSL, in collaboration with Van Hees, introduces PRALLO® Steckfix, a smart, all-in-one stabilising system tailored for a wide range of minced and restructured meat applications, including hamburgers, meatballs, chicken nuggets and döner shawarma.
This innovative, concentrated solution delivers excellent binding and structure without the need for a bowl chopper, making it ideal for operations seeking to streamline production and reduce equipment dependency. It also enables the use of lower-cost raw materials such as MDM, fat, or chicken skin, delivering significant savings while maintaining the desired texture, yield and consumer appeal.
Applications:
● Hamburgers
● Meatballs
● Chicken nuggets
● Döner Shawarma from minced meat
● Other restructured products using MDM or by-products
Benefits:
● Strong Structure & Stability: Enhances texture and performance in hot-served applications
● Cost Efficiency: Enables the use of economical raw materials without compromising quality
● Reduced Shrinkage & Cooking Loss: Minimises weight loss during cooking (by 8–12%)
● Simplified Processing: Can be added directly in the mixer or grinder, no bowl chopper required
● Pre-Mix Flexibility: Supports preparation and storage of fat/skin blocks for future batches
● Adjustable Dosage: Easily tailored to meet various cost and quality targets
● Reliable Results: Even patties made entirely from fat or skin blocks show good texture and reduced cooking loss
Backed by the expertise of FSL’s dedicated team of technical specialists, PRALLO® Steckfix is a high-performance solution for manufacturers looking to improve production efficiency, control costs and consistently deliver high-quality finished products.
