Cakes: Soy-based shortenings and margarines very effectively prevent formation of a gluten matrix, resulting in cakes that are pleasingly light, airy and moist. Cakes produced with these shortenings and margarines have very favorable texture characteristics and optimum dome height – learn more in our cake functionality tests.
Cookies: Cookies made with soy-based oils and shortenings produce a favorable spread, height and weight along with a more tender mouthfeel. Learn more about how soybean oil measured up in functionality tests of cookies.
Pies: Soy-based shortenings produce pie crusts with desired characteristics, including evenly browned textured, flaky crust with an ideal finished product height and minimal shrink. Learn about the various benefits to using soy-based ingredients in pastry applications from QUALISOY’s functionality test results.
Puffs Pastries: Soy-based ingredients perform on par with butter in puff pastries, which is considered the “gold standard” for producing the highest quality puff pastry products. Recent functionality testing showed that puff pastries made with high oleic soybean baker’s margarine produce pastries of an ideal height with uniform honeycomb layers.
Baked Snacks: Soybean oil shortenings and margarines prevent the formation of a gluten matrix in baked goods, resulting in a tender product with moist texture. In addition, as release agents, soybean oil and high oleic soybean oil help to more easily remove foods from baking pans and belts, increasing overall efficiency.
Packaged Foods: Food manufacturers will benefit from the increased functionality of soy-based fats and oils. High oleic soybean oil offers superior resistance to oxidation, which extends shelf life of packaged products, as well as a desired neutral flavor profile, allowing the natural flavors of ingredients to stand out.
