Description
Caramel Powder is a free-flowing, water-soluble powder produced through the careful spray-drying of liquid caramel. It is a versatile food ingredient primarily used as a natural colorant, providing shades ranging from light tan to deep brown. It offers significant advantages in handling, storage, and shelf stability compared to its liquid counterpart, making it ideal for a wide range of dry mix applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Excellent Solubility: Dissolves quickly and uniformly in water and other aqueous systems.
- Consistent Coloring: Provides a stable and consistent brown hue, batch after batch.
- Neutral Flavor Profile: Offers pure coloring power with minimal impact on the final product's taste, unlike some liquid caramels which can have a bitter note.
- Enhanced Stability: Powder form provides superior stability against microbial spoilage and is less prone to caking.
- Easy Handling & Transportation: Reduced weight and volume compared to liquid caramel, leading to lower shipping costs and easier dosing in manufacturing.
Applications
Caramel Powder is suitable for a diverse array of food and beverage products, including:
- Bakery & Confections: Cakes, cookies, bread, fillings, icings, and chocolate-like flavors.
- Instant Powders: Drink mixes, instant soups, gravy mixes, and dessert powders.
