colour and flavour in cereal products. |

| Inclusions |
| |
Felix
Koch Offenbach (FKO) offers a wide range
of inclusions including toffee and nougat
pieces.
Tro-Kost offers
many
dehydrated products including carrot
pieces, herbs and other
products. |
| Preservatives |
| While moist cakes may tempt the
taste buds, the available moisture may also allow for yeast
or mould growth. Manufacturers wishing to provide cakes with
reasonable shelf life may need to include small amounts of
preservatives. |
Given
the relatively high pH of cake batters, the main preservatives
used in bakery products are sorbates or propionates.
Sorbic
acid powder is commonly in powder blends. Potassium
sorbate granules usually need to be pre-dissolved in water before
inclusion in the batter.
Calcium Propionate is also used
in some applications, especially in yeas- leavened products. |
