PerfectaMAR®
Preserve gel strength and elasticity in surimi products
Surimi blocks undergo intensive processing that activates natural fish enzymes can cause texture loss during processing, reducing gel strength and elasticity. PerfectaMAR® helps maintain the inherent gelling properties of fish proteins, preserving the original texture, gel strength and elasticity, while delivering freeze-thaw stable surimi products. It is free-from allergen labelling, plant-based and clean label, making it a natural, efficient alternative to egg white and other traditional additives.

Maintaining the gel strength and elasticity of surimi blocks
To deliver a premium product, the producer needed a solution that prevents texture loss. As an extra complication the clean-label positioning needed to be maintained; adding allergens to the products was not an option.
Clean label, premium pricing
PerfectaMAR® is developed specifically for surimi producers working with tropical and arctic fish species. It preserves original gel strength and elasticity during high-temperature processing, where natural fish enzymes would otherwise degrade texture quality. The result is a superior surimi block with a clean-label that commands premium pricing.
