MUNDELEIN, IL / ACCESSWIRE / April 8, 2015 / Z Trim Holdings, Inc. ("ZTH") (OTCQB:ZTHO), an agritech company providing value-added ingredients to a variety of industries, thrilled attendees at this year's Research Chef's Association Conference & Culinary Expo in New Orleans by serving gourmet Mahi-Mahi burgers with spicy Sriracha sauce. Each year, RCA's Conference attracts nearly 1,000 of the food industry's top research and development professionals. For ingredient manufacturers, blending houses, equipment vendors and other suppliers to the industry, the annual RCA Expo has become the venue to launch cutting-edge products and processes that exemplify "Culinology(R)."
"Our Mahi-Mahi burgers demonstrate that the remarkable moisture control provided by Z Trim Ingredients is not limited to processed meats, sauces, dressings and baked goods," said Lynda Carroll, Z Trim VP of Applications and Technical Service, "and the smooth Sriracha sauce shows that reducing fat with our multi-functional ingredients requires no sacrifice of mouth-feel, viscosity or emulsification. We believe that consumers no longer have to give up the taste and texture they crave in order to meet their demands for healthier foods - Z Trim is the answer."
"I began exploring Z-Trim as a functional ingredient in my seafood burgers when I needed some help retaining moisture in my finished product," said Roger Fickenscher, Director of Product Development at Orca Bay Seafoods in Renton, WA. "In the process, I found the added benefits of improved throughput on the production floor and reduced cost of goods in the burgers themselves. That was a clear win-win from our perspective."
"Z Trim Ingredients is a perfect fit for an industry that is constantly evolving." said RCA President Charles Hayes, CRC, CEC. "Its biotransformation technology is an excellent example of the kind of innovation that is needed to respond to the ever-changing food industry landscape. The RCA is a nexus where culinary arts and food science come together to meet the challenges of the 21st century and we are proud to help companies like Z Trim shape the future of food."
The sandwich served at the RCA Expo is based on a new application developed with Orca Bay Seafoods and announced in October 2014. The frozen fish burger products can be found in warehouse stores and grocery chains throughout the country.
