Juicier Meat and Seafood with our Proven TenderBite™ Product Line!

TenderBite™ is a special binding matrix that entraps moisture and natural juice inside meat and seafood upon cooking. Meat and seafood pre-treated with TenderBite™ maintain their tenderness after being frozen and reheated, especially in the microwave.

TenderBite™ gives the following benefits, depending on the application and need:

• More tender (less dry and rubbery) and juicier texture, even in acidic sauces under microwave cooking.
• Higher cooked yield.
• Needs no or less phosphates.
• Improve freeze-thaw stability with reduced or no syneresis.
• Neutral in flavor.
• Add directly with or without seasonings and spices into tumbler or mixer

Applications:

TenderBite™can be used in both meat and seafood products. The following are just some examples of this product line:

• TenderBite™ 3523 and TenderBite™ 3523LS (low salt) provide excellent cooked yield and juicy texture in seafood.
• TenderBite™ 3525 and TenderBite™ 3525LS (low salt) are phosphate-free versions of TenderBite™ 3523 and TenderBite™ 3523LS.
• TenderBite™ ANS-1 is an all-natural marinade system formulated for shrimp and seafood, providing excellent cooked-yield.
• TenderBite™ FS-2 is a custom-designed marinade system that improves the texture and juiciness of pre-cooked fajita and lean steaks upon reconstitution on a flat grill.
• TenderBite™ OS-21 is a custom-developed marinade system for imported beef. It cleans up off-flavors and provides juicy and tender texture. It is excellent for skirt and flank steaks.
• Our TenderBite™systems can easily be dry-blended with spices and seasonings and do not increase the cold viscosity of marinades.
