Food formulations and preservatives for meat products

At Chemital, the meat sector forms part of our technical foundation and our long-standing specialisation.

From preservation and microbiological stability to the development of functional solutions, we work with manufacturers of meat, cured and processed meat products to optimise safety, shelf life, texture, yield and sensory profile.

Our approach combines applied science, expertise in meat matrices and validation under real-world conditions. We design formulations and preservatives for meat products tailored to fresh, cooked, cured, fermented or processed products, taking into account the product’s behaviour during manufacture, storage, distribution and consumption.

Technical solutions for fresh and cured meats

Chemital develops preservatives, antioxidants, functional ingredients, texturing systems, flavourings, seasonings, colourings and reformulation solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each process. In meat products, we focus on key parameters such as yield, texture, juiciness, colour stability, sensory freshness, reduction in wastage and process efficiency.

Meat formulation with a holistic approach

Each project is approached from a holistic perspective: product, process, legislation, distribution channel, shelf life and consumer experience. This methodology enables us to develop solutions tailored to pork, beef, chicken, turkey and other meat products, as well as to new market requirements.

We also work on alternative proteins, developing specific formulations for plant-based products and meat substitutes that aim to replicate key characteristics of meat.
