Preservatives and Acidulants

Encapsulated ingredients enable shelf life to be met, product waste to be reduced and consumers to be delighted. 

Advanced Preservation and Acidulant Technology

Whether it is in yeast leavened products such as pan bread and rolls, or tortillas and flatbread, encapsulated preservatives and acidulants are key to the success of the modern baker. 

Microbial spoilage is a major quality issue in baked goods and can be addressed by:

pH optimization

  • Discourage undesirable microbial growth in foods
  • Synergistic effect with mold inhibitors

Encapsulated acids can be added directly to dough

  • Citric, malic and fumaric acids
  • Reliable dose-response effect
  • Can be blended with dry ingredients
  • Prevents yeast inhibition and gluten interaction 

The use of preservatives

  • Encapsulated sorbic acid prevents yeast inhibition
  • Synergistic effect when combining sorbic and propionic acids
