Functionalities:
- Highly controlled batter viscosity
- Superior adhesion to substrate
- Crispy texture and controlled color
- Increased freeze/thaw, pH, shear stability
- Better reconstitution in oven or fryer
- Extended hold times under heat lamp
- Reduce the number of seasonings, including sodium
Food Safe Applications
Food safety is top-of-mind in today’s market – something to consider when building a product with flour possibly being consumed prior to applying a proper kill step. We produce ingredients ideal for products with potential to be consumed raw, including: ice cream and cake batter inclusions such as cookie dough, cake batter and brownies, spoonable cookie dough, refrigerated biscuit/pastry dough, unbaked pizzas, frozen pies/appetizers, seasoning blends, soups, sauces, gravies, batters and coatings, pre-dust/post-dust, energy & nutrition bars, and hot and cold cereals.
