- Applications Information
- As an emulsifier, Ultralec® P promotes even blending and mixing.
- It is used in baked goods such as breads to extend shelf life, tortillas to reduce stickiness, and cakes to increase moisture retention.
- The powdered form blends evenly with other dry ingredients in bases and mixes. In snack foods, Ultralec® P facilitates even blending of ingredients and improves extrusion efficiency in extruded products. In sauces, gravies and canned goods, it helps emulsify fat and reduces separation. As an instantizer, Ultralec® P helps products disperse quickly in water.
- The bland flavor and low aroma make Ultralec® P ideal for use in dairy and dairy analogs. Application areas of interest would include beverages and powders, frozen desserts and nutritional drinks.
- Ultralec® P is also useful for instantizing soup and gravy mixes. It has the versatility to disperse in either oil of water depending on your process or formulation requirements.
- Ultralec® P is also used as a source of phospholipids and essential fatty acids in nutritional products such as capsules and beverages.
