TenderIn

WTI’s TenderIn® line delivers dry and liquid naturally-derived, lemon-based phosphate alternatives designed to help food manufacturers achieve clean label conversion without sacrificing yield, texture, or eating quality. As brands continue to eliminate traditional phosphates, maintaining moisture retention, tenderness, and consistency becomes increasingly challenging—especially in meat, poultry, and prepared food applications where performance is critical to both product quality and processing efficiency. TenderIn® solutions are specifically formulated to replicate the functional benefits of phosphates, helping improve water binding, cook yield, and texture while supporting a juicier, more consistent finished product. By leveraging the natural functionality of lemon-derived ingredients, TenderIn® enables manufacturers to simplify ingredient statements and align with consumer demand for recognizable, naturally sourced components. Backed by WTI’s application expertise and technical support, TenderIn® helps manufacturers successfully transition away from phosphates while maintaining product performance, improving label appeal, and supporting the shift to natural, consumer-friendly formulations.
