Colour stabilisation in meat products with BACTOFLAVOR® ROSA
In a market where consumers demand transparency, natural appearance, and long-term stability, meat producers face increasing challenges: colour variations between batches, loss of the red hue, and the need to reduce additives.
Our technology ensures a consistent, intense, and attractive colour - from raw to matured or cooked products - supporting both operational efficiency and the premium perception of your brand.
Professional solutions for maintaining the natural colour and fresh appearance of meat products.

Experimental results
Comparison between dry sausages (fuet) produced with BactoFlavor® Rosa or a standard culture, after storage in modified atmosphere at 7°C for 15 days (a-values, n = 30).
Comparative tests show a clear difference between products processed with standard cultures and those using BactoFlavor® Rosa. Colour is visibly more intense and more stable 15 days after modified atmosphere packaging.
