Encapsol Fat Coated Sodium Bicarbonate

Product overview

ENCAPSOL® Fat Coated Sodium Bicarbonate is an advanced encapsulated leavening and buffering ingredient manufactured using proprietary lipid-coating technology. The protective food-grade fat matrix surrounds sodium bicarbonate particles, preventing premature reaction with moisture, acids, and other reactive ingredients during processing and storage.

Performance Advantages

Conventional sodium bicarbonate reacts immediately when exposed to moisture, heat or acidic ingredients, often resulting in:
• Premature carbon dioxide generation
• Loss of leavening efficiency
• Reduced dough and batter stability
• Processing inconsistencies
• Reduced shelf life of premixes
• Lower finished-product volume
ENCAPSOL® Fat Coated Sodium Bicarbonate protects the active ingredient until the desired stage of processing, ensuring more efficient utilization and improved product performance.
Benefits of Encapsulation
• Delayed carbon dioxide release
• Improved dough and batter stability
• Enhanced gas retention during baking
• Improved product volume and texture
• Reduced ingredient losses
• Better storage stability of dry mixes and premixes
• Greater manufacturing flexibility
