Who made all the lower-fat pies?

31-Jul-2012

To enable bakers to offer lower-fat pies and pastries at a lower-cost, National Starch Food Innovation is extending the application of two of its products to shortcrust pastries.

N-Dulge FR tapioca dextrin and starch solution makes indulgent cakes, while Sustagrain wholegrain barley enhances baked goods' fibre and beta-glucan content.

By combining low dose-in-use with reduced levels of expensive bakery fats, these products are claimed to cut recipe cost, while maintaining comparable taste, textural and sensory qualities to fat-rich alternatives.

The film coating properties of N-Dulge FR tapioca dextrin and starch solution and Sustagrain wholegrain barley help reduce fat, but maintain the crumbly texture of a full-fat shortcrust pastry. N-Dulge FR tapioca dextrin and starch solution relaxes the dough, which prevents shrinkage and reduces stickiness. Sustagrain improves snap and texture contrast and enables a natural positioning.
