Product Description
With the expansion of the world’s population and the growing interest in ready-to-eat and ready-to-bake goods, the demand for bakery items has considerably increased over the past 10 years. Bakery manufacturers today are making attempts to replace the ingredients they used in the past in their formulation in order to meet the needs of consumers who are looking for fresh, natural and always tastier and healthier products. Being aware of current market demands, our factory has developed innovative solutions specially designed for bakery products based on five main trends: clean label, process improvement, shelf-life extension, taste enhancement, health and nutrition.
Clean Label
The bakery sector is facing the challenge of replacing some ingredients in their recipes to respond to the growing demand for products free of E-numbers and chemical ingredients. Bakery currently use chemical leavening systems containing bicarbonate and acidifiers, such as phosphates or coated organic acids.
The use of phosphates is controversial since they are linked to many diseases and disorders such as kidney stones. Organic acids are primarily coated with palm oil which is criticized due to its negative impact on the environment(deforestation and soil impoverishment), the wildlife(slaughter of animals) and human health(cardiovascular diseases and obesity).
To help bakery manufacturers comply with consumer’s demand, HonghuiBio proposes a natural acidifier, lactic acid powder, to control the activation of bicarbonate in leavening systems. Due to its structural, the activity of lactic acid powder can be accurately adjusted to the manufacturing process by controlling different parameters, such as temperature, time, concentration and water content. Raw materials of l-lactic acid, calcium lactate and silica dioxide are used to make lactic acid powder. Calcium lactate can increase the calcium iron in human body with higher nutrition. And silica dioxide plays important roll to avoid caking as anti-caking agent. This can be clean-label and natural to choose to be applied in food industry, especially bakery part.
