- Legislation
Dosage levels and allowed applications depend on local legislation, meat type and shelf life requirements. Provian D is composed of food grade sodium acetate (E262i), food grade sodium lactate (E325) and food grade sodium diacetate (E262ii) conform to the latest FCC, EU-legislation and JECFA (FAO/WHO). In Europe, there are no specific regulatory limits, so its usage should be according to the quantum satis principle, meaning at levels not higher than necessary to achieve the intended purpose.; In Europe, Provian D is also approved in prepacked preparations of fresh minced meat. USA legislation allows a maximum dosage of 0.65% by weight of Provian D on the total formulation in various meat and poultry products. In Canada up to 1% Provian D is allowed.; For other countries, please check local legislation. The suggested dosage for optimal effect is 0.65%. To determine the optimal dosage for the intended application, testing is recommended.

- Known For
Provian D is developed as a functional composition aimed at shelf life extension and preservation of meat products. Because of the synergistic effect between acetate, lactate and diacetate, Provian D is very effective in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes and ensuring food safety. Moreover, microbiological tests show that Provian D extends the shelf life of meat products through growth inhibition of total aerobic bacteria.; Provian D has no adverse effects on sensory parameters of meat products, as shown by sensory analysis. It also buffers the pH of cooked meat products.; As a free flowing powder, this product can be applied in various processing steps and also in dry blends.; In all cases, it is advisable to carry out an initial test, so that the precise effects on product properties can be determined.
