Z Trim Holds Water for Food Technologists

Will Demonstrate Superior Water Binding Attributes across Food Categories at
IFT '09 Expo

MUNDELEIN, Ill., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Z Trim Holdings, Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: ZTHO), manufacturer of multifunctional fiber food ingredients,
today announced it will be exhibiting its products in Booth #447 in the
Healthy Food Pavilion of the 2009 Institute of Food Technologists' Annual Food
Meeting and Food Expo (IFT-AFME) in the Anaheim Convention Center June 7-9.

On display will be Z Trim corn powder's superior water binding capability in
emulsions and whole muscle meats.

The emulsion demonstration will feature Z Trim's use in different viscosity
ranges in dairy-based applications, including dressing, sauce, and dip.
Throughout, Z Trim provides advanced dispersing properties, keeping water and
oil in place and maintaining the integrity of the textural expectations for
each type of product.

"Z Trim improves surface tension far beyond other plant-based hydrocolloids
used to emulsify or thicken," said Lynda Carroll, Director of Product
Development for Z Trim Holdings. "Foods made with Z Trim have noticeably
better textural and sensory character," she said. "Emulsions become less
susceptible to breaking due to temperature extremes or interactions between
other ingredients having salt or acidic characteristics."

The heated sauce will demonstrate the superior heat stability Z Trim corn
fiber provides to finished products, and will serve as a complement to the
meats, which will also benefit from Z Trim.

The meat demonstration will exhibit how Z Trim multifunctional fiber keeps
whole muscle meats juicy throughout processing and market distribution. Z Trim
Holdings' staff will be assisted in that demonstration by specialists from
World Technology Ingredients (WTI) of Jefferson, Georgia, distributor of Z
Trim to the meat industry.

"A marinade solution for muscle meats, whether injected or used in tumbling,
can contain up to 1% of Z Trim fiber, usually as part of a marinade or with
flavorings," said Robert Brooks, technical specialist with WTI. "Z Trim helps
to bind moisture in the meat, keeping it juicy," he said.
