Description

Calcium Stearyl-2-Lactylate is a versatile, food-grade emulsifier and dough conditioner derived from lactic and stearic acids. This compound is valued for its ability to improve the texture, volume, and shelf-life of various food products by strengthening gluten networks and ensuring uniform crumb structure. It is an essential ingredient for industrial food manufacturers, particularly in the baking, pasta, and processed food sectors, where consistent quality and performance are critical.

Application

• Bread & Bakery Products: Acts as a powerful dough conditioner and crumb softener, improving loaf volume, texture, and shelf stability in bread, rolls, and buns.
• Pasta & Noodles: Enhances dough machinability, reduces stickiness, and improves the firmness and cooking tolerance of pasta and instant noodles.
• Cakes & Mixes: Functions as an emulsifier in cake batters and prepared mixes to ensure uniform aeration, fine grain, and a moist, tender crumb.
• Whipped Toppings & Desserts: Stabilizes foam structures in whipped creams, toppings, and dessert mousses, improving overrun and stability.
• Processed Meat & Analogues: Used as a protein extender and texture modifier in processed meat products and plant-based protein analogues to improve binding and juiciness.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Excipient: Serves as a non-toxic emulsifier and stabilizer in tablet formulations, creams, and lotions.
