DuPont POWERSoft Cake range from the DuPont Danisco ingredient portfolio overcomes the freshness issue that has long challenged manufacturers of cakes with an extended shelf life. The range’s freshness properties slow the development of dry, crumbly texture over time, thus enabling cake producers to start their seasonal cake production earlier. POWERSoft Cake range also demonstrated a higher sucrose tolerance in trials. High sugar content typically inhibits some traditional anti-staling enzymes when used in cake recipes.
