Ingredient and Benefits |
| Acidulants. |
Acidulants are used
to balance the perception of acid and sweetness,
especially in fruit products. They are also used
to lower pH to the optimum range for stabilisers
such as pectins.
 |
Citric
acid is a natural acidulant that
gives a pleasant acid note. Citric
acid anhydrous is commonly used
when added as a solution. For coatings for
confectionery products, we recommend Citric
Acid Monohydrate.
Tartaric
acid is a natural acidulant,
but with a slightly more acidic profile
than citric acid.
 Other
less commonly used acidulants are summarised
in the Acidulants section. |
| Aromatics |
| |
HWA offers
a wide of aromatics, including Vanillin and Ethyl
Vanillin.
HWA Maltol can also be used to mask bitterness and
to enhance chocolate flavours. |
| Bulking
agents |
| In sugar-free and sugar-modified products, bulking agents can play
a valuable role in changing the sugar and calorific
profile of the confectionery product. |
A Maltodextrin can
be added as a nutritive bulking agent, with
reduced sweetness in the final product.
Polydextrose is a bland bulking
agent with virtually no sweetness, and reduced
calorific content. |
