We’ve got baking down to a science

ICL manufactures a complete portfolio of leavening acids which partner with baking soda to optimize the appearance, texture and volume of the bakery product. These key ingredients in a baked good will determine when carbon dioxide gas will be produced during the baking process. ICL can work with customers to optimize gas production and satisfy labeling requirements. Using the acids can be tricky if you don’t understand neutralizing value and how to add the leavening ingredients at the right levels in a baking mix.

Trends can be challenging. It can be quite difficult to replace sodium based leavening acids and retain full functionality. The same applies to the removal of gluten or the addition of other ingredients.

Yeast fermentation takes time. Chemical leavening is much faster. It is very versatile and lends itself to both lean and rich formulas as well use in bakery mixes, refrigerated and frozen doughs, and baked goods for retail and food service. One must consider the length of time for each step, from the point of mixing the ingredients to finished product coming out of the oven. Think about when you want the gas produced and what is the situation.

Our knowledge of leavening and baking technology allows us to create unique phosphate solutions to formulate around texture challenges. We understand the impact of formulating with calcium, sodium or aluminum based leavening agents.
