|
• Pan bread, buns/rolls, baguettes, flatbreads &
tortillas: improved gas retention, volume and
sliceability.
• Enhances gluten network and stabilizes gas cells; works synergistically with ascorbic acid and enzymes. • Not ideal for sweet short doughs—use combinations or alternative emulsifiers if needed. |
• 25 kg PE‑lined bags or cartons (solids) • 20 kg pails /
190 kg drums (liquid).
• IBC on request • Small packs for R&D and QC trials. |
• Non‑DG. Store cool/dry, sealed; protect from odours and
light.
• Melt solids at 55–65 °C with gentle agitation; pre‑emulsify in oil or mix with flour base for dosing. |
