- Recommended Uses & Known Applications
- 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.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Certifications & Compliance
- 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.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Information
Provian D is provided in 25 kg PE valve bags.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 2 years
- Stability
Provian®D is stable for 2 years from date of production. Physical stability and appearance may change before the end of shelf-life if the product is not stored in closed original packing, kept dry and at room temperature or if the pallets are stacked. The product is very hygroscopic and will absorb water from the air if exposed.
