Unlock the Power of Fumaric Acid
Why do you add acids to baked goods? For chemical leavening, right? Well, that’s not all they are good for.
Look at fumaric acid - a little goes a long way
This is an acid with a high acidification power and neutralization value of 145. This means you can use less of it for chemical leavening or lowering pH. So, it’s a cost-effective choice.
And it’s clean label
Fumaric acid is an organic acid. So, if you’re looking for an effective alternative to ingredients like MCP, SAS, SALP or SAPP, it is a great solution.
What else can you use it for?
Here are a few specific examples:
- Bread: Adds a pleasant flavor in rye and sourdough breads and helps improve quality
- English muffins: helps improve dough machinability and porosity
- Tortillas: acts as a mold inhibitor, dough machinability improver and shelf life extender
- Pie fillings: improves smoothness and optimum gelation by extending critical cook time
- Frozen/refrigerated doughs: preserves leavening power to help with proofing and baking
