Dry sweeteners Honey, molasses and malt extract
have broad consumer appeal as natural sweeteners
and flavourings. In food products, these ingredients
also provide many other essential attributes such
as color, aroma, browning, texture, improved moisture
retention, and extended keeping quality. Now dry
honey molasses and malt can be used in areas where
process or product constraints previously prevented
the use of liquid honey and molasses. ADM'S dry
sweeteners products retain all these desirable
properties while eliminating the flavor and color
variability, handling difficulties, and storage
problems inherent with their liquid counterparts.
These products have been designed not only for
use in general formulations where convenience
in desired, but also for use in product applications
where a dry ingredient is necessary.
A special patented process makes ADM'S dry sweeteners.
High quality liquid materials are dried on wheat
starch carrier and converted to free-flowing powders.
The use of wheat starch makes the powders less
hygroscopic and more resistant to caking in storage
than materials dried with other carriers. As starch
gelatinizes during baking, it also increases absorption
and provides thickening in many food systems.
When using the dry sweeteners it is important
to note they should generally be incorporated
with other dry ingredients rather than separately
reconstituted with water. The applications covered
here are especially suited to dry sweetener usage
and have been tested for performance. ADM offers
a wide selection of sweetener products varying
in color, flavor intensity, particle size and
price. All products meet Kosher requirements.
