Sodium Tripolyphosphate

Postby Epicurohn » Fri Jul 14, 2006 1:14 am

I've tried this product on my smoked sausages and it really helps control weight loss during smoking, moisture retention, etc. My supplier says it can also be used on fresh sausages. Comments? Can it be used on hamburger patties?

Thanks,

David

Hi David.
According to this Article "Food for Thought" in Sciencenews. Yes you can. I realise the article is about the addition of carbohydrates but sodium tripolyphosphate is mentioned in aiding moisture retention.

Regards,
Richard

Thanks Tristar. Tried some fresh Italian sausage with it and it does make them jucier though the texture tends towards emulsion. I guess there needs some work fine tunning the recipe.
