About Z Trim

Z Trim is a healthful natural dietary fiber ingredient that can be used for:


USDA-developed Z Trim gel is a natural non-caloric food ingredient that has excellent emulsification and fat mimetic attributes.

Z Trim can be used by food manufacturers to replace or substitute portions of fat ingredients, as well as to provide structure and stability to certain food formulations. It can lower calories from fat up to 80% in foods while maintaining superior taste and texture, or “mouthfeel.”

Z Trim provides the texture of fats without the calories and can substantially reduce harmful trans fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol, and contribute to a healthy diet. Z Trim was recognized as the "Most Innovative Ingredient" at the 2006 the Food Ingredients South America (FISA) International Exhibition for Solution and Technology for the Food Industry conference.

Z Trim is used to reduce fats and maintain moisture for the dairy, bakery, meat and poultry, and sauces and dressings industries. It can make meats juicier, baked goods moister, and dips creamier.

 

Z Trim can also be used to control water activity, keeping blends "blended" longer and reducing the "runiness" and separation of water from solids that can occur in some sauce-type products.

Made from insoluble plant fiber, Z Trim gel also provides most of the benefits of soluble fiber. Z Trim is a plant-derived (usually from cereals ad legumes) dietary fiber with a cellulose-to-hemi-cellulose ratio of approximately 80:20, a ratio closely in line with many fibers from whole grain. As such, studies and recommendations concerning the health value of dietary fibers from plants by entities such as the FDA, National Academy of Sciences, National Cancer Research Institute, Codex Alimentations, EC Commission, and FAO of the United Nations are directly applicable to Z Trim. Z Trim excels in the plant dietary fiber category due to its high viscosity and water holding properties.

Z Trim food technology provides a natural solution to global challenges of obesity and associated health problems.
