Encapsulated Leavening Systems.
Balchem encapsulated leavening systems control the reactivity of bicarbonate and acid by protecting the components from prematurely interacting. This can be done through encapsulation of the bicarbonate, the acid, or both.
Controlling this chemical reaction opens–up a host of possibilities from increasing flexibility during production of batters and doughs, adding stability to dry blends and allowing for novel textures to be delivered in freezer-to-oven and refrigerator-to-oven products.
Features and Benefits.
Enables consistent and high-quality leavening in Refrigerated & Frozen Dough Applications:
Refrigerator to Oven
Improved stability of leavening during refrigerated storage
Full leavening occurs in the oven
Freezer to Oven
Bake straight from frozen
Provide a stable leavening system over extended shelf life
Supplement yeast leavening over frozen storage, to provide reliable & consistent quality
Protect yeast from inhibition caused by pH increase
