It is suitable for biscuits, cakes, condiments and other foods. It can be divided into water-soluble, emulsified essence, water oil dual-use, etc
The flavoring of edible essence in baked food plays a vital role in the whole baking industry, which can give food a variety of attractive aroma. The use of fruity essence in sandwich bread can make bread have fresh fruit flavor, can assist and stabilize the original flavor of food, can supplement and improve the original bad flavor of food, and the use of essence in the baking industry can create new flavor products, making baking products taste diverse.
According to the nature, edible essence can generally be divided into oil-water essence, water-soluble essence and most of the bread and biscuits are added with edible essence at this stage. Flour and other auxiliary materials can be directly mixed with edible essence. Considering that the flour will be baked at a high temperature above 180 ℃ after molding. In addition, after determining that essence can be dissolved in oil or water, in order to ensure that the fragrance is evenly dispersed, essence can be dissolved in raw materials according to the principle of similar solubility, and then the oil or water dissolved in essence can be mixed evenly. Due to the long time of preparing tough dough, in order to prevent the volatilization of essence in the process of preparation, proper essence must be added after the dough is evenly and fully prepared; After the biscuit is baked out of the oven, it needs to be sprayed with edible oil dissolved with essence or some solid powder dissolved with essence on its surface.
After the biscuits are baked, they generally need to go through the oil spraying process. Therefore, some essence can be dissolved in the spray oil as a carrier, and then sprayed on the surface of the biscuits. Under suitable conditions, it is better to spray oil on both the upper and lower surfaces of the biscuit. This oil spray method for biscuits can avoid high-temperature baking, greatly facilitating the production and processing of biscuits to a certain extent, but it still cannot completely avoid the loss caused by heating.
Edible essence is used in the sandwich process. This method is usually applied to biscuits containing sandwich filling. By adding appropriate essence spices to the sandwich layer of biscuits, the original flavor of biscuits can be improved and enhanced. Biscuit filling pies are generally composed of oils, dairy products, jam, etc. These ingredients can be mixed evenly with spices during the production process, and then processed using specialized filling machines.
