Cognis launches aerating emulsifier
Cognis’ new Spongolit EP 320 aerating emulsifier helps manufacturers of cake mixes, concentrates or retail mixes.
It ensures stable volume and crumb structure in all kinds of cakes, especially fat containing batters. It also allows manufacturers to replace trans fatty acid-rich shortenings with alternative ingredients.
Cognis’ new aerating agent is based on a range of specific emulsifiers, such as polyglycerolesters and distilled mono- and diglycerides. It is available as a free-flowing powder and can be used in virtually all flours, recipes and processes.
The distinctive fat tolerance makes it particularly suitable for fat containing batters, which are usually the most challenging in terms of aeration. The product remains tolerant and stable even when the batter is beaten for a prolonged period of time and can also be used with trans fatty acid-free oils instead of trans fatty acid-rich shortenings, which increase consumers’ cholesterol levels and their risk of coronary heart disease.
