Australian Sousvide Meat Distribution Opportunities in Asia

I am currently handling a food research work for elderly people and training curriculum for it based on the Active Ageing Framework that meets Australian Age Care Standards, 1997, 2018), Dietary Guidelines for old aged Consumption and Food Standards.

In my line of work, I have come across an interesting food idea that you may be interested in for elderly care food consumption. It is a “Sous Vide” cooking process that has a world wide reputation for quality, reduced labour, and efficient food service.This is impossible with Ala Carte!

Sous Vide food can feed large crowd, 500-5000 people at the same time because it only takes reheating or short cooking time to serve them because the sousvide meat has been precooked.

This sousvide system produces extra tenderness, succulent meat at reduced kitchen costs, ease of use - ready to be easily reheated in minutes, and long shelf life for about 10 weeks refrigerated, and longer when frozen.

Some of you would have come across the 'sousvide' term from fine restaurant cooking, like those showcased in Master Chef Culinary Competition shows or Celebrity Cook programs.

Sous Vide system was developed by a French Chef George Pralus who discovered the Sous Vide system in 1974 whilst trying to reduce the cook-out in "Pate de Foie Gras" He wrapped the goose liver in plastic film to cook out the goose liver in reduced time. What he discovered was, the smell and taste was enhanced by it .Soon large cooking equipment manufacturer saw the benefits of this new cooking system and designed the sophisticated "Sous Vide" cooking equipment.

The "Cryvac Vacuum Shrink Barrier Bags" from the USA were the obvious choice of packaging for the products - and the Sous Vide system was quickly adopted by large Convention Centres throughout the world.

I am happy to provide a demonstration of the sousvide meat sampling with at your convenience. I can be reached at +6019872981 (Malaysia) and +61490100669 (Australia).

Below are some questions that could be raised on sousvide meat:

Why sousvide process is the best way to consume meat ?

For example most roast meats have been cooked for more than 10 hours at approx 70*C.

Market Potential
The demand for quality and familiar tasting food for the elderly individuals in hospital, aged care centres and in their own home has never been so clearly defined as now. This is because the Royal Commission of Ageing in Australia, has mandated that every resident in aged care is entitled to their ethnic food.

This is important to an elderly person who is used to eating their own food, growing up and are distinct in their choice to maintain that diet during their old age.
