MIRCAP® PC 85-H, which is a microencapsulated form of calcium propionate (E-282) coated in vegetable oil. This ingredient is commonly used as a preservative in bread and baked goods.
Advantages of MIRCAP® PC 85-H
- Mould Inhibition: Effectively prevents mould growth in fermented doughs, enhancing the shelf life of baked goods.
- Moisture Protection: The microencapsulation protects the active ingredient from moisture, preventing lump formation in premixes.
- Cost Efficiency: Helps reduce production costs by minimising energy loss and optimising yeast usage, leading to more efficient fermentation processes.
- Stability in Mixtures: Prevents premature or unwanted reactions in solid mixtures, ensuring product quality.
- Controlled Release: Offers a delayed and controlled release of calcium propionate, maintaining its preservation properties during storage and handling.
- No labelling change: Replace regular calcium propionate with the microencapsulated version.
- Tailored for Bakery: Specifically designed for bakery and pastry applications, providing optimal performance in those settings.
