Phosphate-free system in cakes
Lactic acid powder help manufacturers replace phosphates in cakes in order to achieve a cleaner recipe.
After a visual analysis of the result, by replacing phosphates with lactic acid, the volume of the cake remains the same. Therefore, cake manufacturers can use a clean-label solution in their formulations that responds to consumers’ need for natural ingredients.
Phosphate-free system in chilled and bake-off cookies
Lactic acid powder successfully helps eliminate phosphates and reduce the amount of sodium from the recipe while improving the texture and the flavour.
Additionally, the results of the sensory tests showed that the cookies made with lactic acid had an enhanced chocolate flavour and were crunchier.
Phosphate and aluminum-free system in pre-baked frozen pizzas
SALPs are no longer allowed in bakery products. Honghuibio offers lactic acid powder to replace them. Lactic acid powder enables the dough to rise even freezing.
The results of replacing SALPs with lactic acid powder show that the pizza dough has risen at different stages, even after being frozen. Therefore, using lactic acid powder doesn’t only replace harmful ingredients, but also helps pizza manufacturers achieve the appropriate texture in their products.
Phosphate-free system in flatbreads & tortillas
HonghuiBio innovative solution called lactic acid powder helps tortilla producers replace SAPPs (sodium acid pyrophosphates) and coated organic acids in a natural, healthy and cost-effective way. Benefits of lactic acid power:
* Replacement of coated organic acids and SAPPs
* Allowed in organic products
* No taste impact
* Sodium-free
* Palm oil-free
* Fewer E-numbers
* Quality improvement of the final product
Structure improvement of gluten-free bread
The absence of gluten network in gluten-free bread often leads to a very heterogeneous distribution of pore size. By partially substituting the yeast (about 25%), lactic acid powder avoids this phenomenon and enables a much more homogeneous breadcrumb. Lactic acid powder helps improve the homogeneity in the pore size of the bread.
Lactic acid powder is an effective solution that helps bakery formulators improve the breadcrumb structure of their gluten-free products.
Time reduction in the production of breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs are increasingly used to coat food products. They hold moisture during frying and give a crunchy, golden brown texture, making the food more attractive. Bread for breadcrums are generally produced with yeast, which requires time, good temperature and good humidity conditions in order to achieve the desired dough rise. HonghuiBio developed lactic acid powder, a natural ingredient, which is used in combination with sodium bicarbonate to significantly speed up the overall processing time.
By replacing yeast with lactic acid powder, there is no need for dilution in water before dough production nor a wait for the dough to rise. These two factors enable manufacturers to significantly reduce their production time without impacting the cooking nor drying processes, meaning that the volume, taste and crunchiness will not change to yeast-based products.
Lactic acid powder can be used as well in breadcrums to change the colour when turmeric acid is used.
