Get your baked goods to rise with the right raising agents
Raising agents are essential ingredients in baking, which ensure that baked goods achieve the desired volume and airy texture. They work by releasing gases, typically carbon dioxide, during baking, which causes the dough to rise.
There are different chemical raising agents
Chemical rising agents are used in different types of baked goods, especially where baking yeast is not suitable. The main chemical raising agents include:
- Baking powder: Activated by the addition of liquid and heat, which releases carbon dioxide and causes the dough to rise.
- Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate): Requires an acidic ingredient in the dough, such as buttermilk or lemon juice, to activate leavening.
- Salt of hartshorn (ammonium bicarbonate E-503): Primarily used in flat baked goods like cookies, as it releases gases when heated and causes the dough to rise.
- Potash (potassium carbonate, potash E-501): Traditionally used in baking for example brownies to achieve a crispy texture.
All raising agents are ideal for baked goods such as whipped doughs (typically for cakes), layer cake bases, pancakes/apple slices, cookies and biscuits. The choice of raising agent depends on the specific requirements of the recipe and the desired acidity, texture and flavour.
Baking powder customisation - a tailor-made solution
Baking powder plays a key role in baking and can be customised to achieve the desired gas evolution during the baking process. By adjusting the composition and dosage, the rise can be controlled to give your baked goods the right volume, texture and consistency.
Together, we will find the baking powder that fits your application and production needs. Whether you need a specific leavening profile or a customised composition, we offer tailor-made solutions. In addition, baking powder can be supplied in batch customised bag sizes to optimally fit your manufacturing process.
