Sucrose Esters in Gluten-free Muffins
As the gluten network is such a crucial component in bakery products it is a real challenge to develop gluten free products that have comparable texture and volume as their original counterpart. The biggest challenge is probably to prevent quick staling of gluten free products.
Frozen muffins
A freeze/thaw cycle can be very harsh for bakery products, but muffins with sucrose esters withstand this treatment well. The defrosted muffin has a soft crumb, which is non-sticky, non-crumbly, with an extended shelf life.
Sodium reduced muffins
There is an increasing concern about the sodium intake in our diet. Not only salty foods contribute to our sodium intake. Many bakery products contain two sources of sodium: salt (NaCl) and baking powder (e.g. sodium bicarbonate). These can be replaced by potassium bicarbonate, calcium phosphate and salt-replace, however this can have negative effect on the texture and taste of the muffin. Sucrose esters can recover part of the defects, by delaying starch gelatinization and retrogradation. This results in more oven spring and a more tender crumb, especially during shelf life.
