US-based ingredient firm Z Trim has launched new ingredients that are designed to extend the shelf-life of a pizza in Mexican and Central American markets.
The company is selling the ingredients through its Mexican and Central American distributor, FX Morales and Associates. Z Trim noted that it has sold the ingredients to a large pizza chain.
Z Trim Sales & Applications VP of Lynda Carroll said the new ingredients manage moisture and slow the staling process, which helped the pizza chain to produce a superior product and improve the bottom line.
Z Trim engages in the manufacture, marketing, and sale of functional food ingredients in the US and internationally. The company's all-natural products are intended to help to reduce fat and calories, add fiber, provide shelf-stability, prevent oil migration, and add binding capacity.
