Marshmallows are a form of confectionery typically made from sugar, water, gelatin, xanthan gum and egg white. They are whipped to become spongeous, then moulded into small cylinders, and coated with corn starch.
HonghuiBio led a study to show the positive effect of its sodium lactate solutions. Sodium lactate powder is produced to improve the texture in marshmallows.
Sodium lactate powder, with its ability to bind molecules of water, acts as a process improver during whipping which has a positive impact on the mouthful of the finished marshmallow. It increases also the process overrun. More than that, sodium lactate powder has the same effect on texture, which allows a better control of the production costs.
