Building better baked goods

Prepared Foods, May, 2005

These ingredients improve the rise of baked goods in the oven or microwave, resulting in increased volume. Primera Foods's PrimeCAP[R] Bakery Blend line of encapsulated leavening systems offers a perfectly balanced blend of sodium bicarbonate and phosphate, encapsulated so the components release only when desired.

PrimeCAP is already balanced, so the blends eliminate spotting that can occur from un-reacted acids or bicarbonates. Available in several variations, the blends are used in pizza dough, cookies, muffins, biscuits and other bakery products.
