Using All Natural Panko for Improved Performance in Industrial Food Plants

by Kym / Wednesday, 08 April 2020 / Published in Blog

Authentic All Natural PankoWith the ever-growing consumer demands for better tasting products, cleaner ingredients and a more stringent regulatory landscape, the ability to update and adapt are a must. The necessity to boost sales and increase customer loyalty has established a real need for many companies to rethink their current product formulas to meet the consumers search for clean-label and healthier food options.

While we can’t solve all the challenges, we can help by introducing you to the many benefits of using an Authentic All Natural Panko. It’s a commonly overlooked staple ingredient, but one which provides an excellent value in a wide range of industrial uses. Authentic All Natural Japanese Panko is a pure and simple ingredient perfectly suited to use in a variety of products and solves a multitude of issues, including a light crispy texture for coated items, top crusting for baked items and great moisture retention as a mix in ingredient, plus it has one of the cleanest ingredient declarations on the market.

Authentic Panko Compared to Standard Panko

Many food professionals are unaware there are significant variances between standard Panko and an Authentic Panko; there are considerable differences in texture, performance, shape, and yield.

The texture of Authentic All Natural Panko is delicate, light and airy with a flaky sliver shape that is not greasy. Standard Panko has a round, hard and dense texture, making coated items taste over breaded and heavy.  Standard breadcrumbs are not crispy but heavy, oily with a long list of ingredients and allergens.

Authentic Panko vs Standard Panko Comparison

Authentic All Natural Panko One Ingredient with Multiple Uses

Authentic All Natural Panko can be used in a multitude of foods and offers a cost effective solution to many of the challenges for industrial food preparation and best of all, it meets the consumer growing desire for cleaner ingredients, which are NON-GMO, dairy free, free of preservatives, artificial flavors and dyes – completely vegan and certified Kosher and Halal.

Coating (Breaded fish, chicken and vegetables): The most popular use for Panko is as a coating for fried foods, perfect for both oven and deep-fried. The texture is much different than standard Panko because Authentic All Natural Panko will have a delicate and light airy texture that absorbs less oil. Standard Panko will be hard and dense making coated items taste over breaded and heavy.

Binding Agent or Mix-in (Meatballs, Hamburgers, Crab cakes, Ravioli stuffing, etc.): Breadcrumbs have been used forever as a binding agent but switching to authentic All-Natural Panko will make a huge difference because an Authentic All Natural Panko will:

  • Holds up to 3x its weight in liquid, making it ideal for meatballs, crab cakes, veggie burgers, or anything else that needs a binder.
  • Holds in the juices better, providing less shrink and better flavor.
  • Is flavor neutral, so no bready flavor, just the flavor of your protein.  This is important especially with stuffed ravioli, add a little Authentic All Natural Panko in the mix to keep the moisture and flavor locked-in, the ravioli will look and taste better.

Top Coating (top crusted fish, casseroles, desserts, etc.: The light and delicate texture of an Authentic All-Natural Panko is perfect for top coatings, adding a light crisp texture that isn’t heavy or oily. From au gratins to cobblers, the texture results in a perfectly delicious light and crispy topping.
