Starplex® 590 is a multifunctional emulsifying ingredient for food-based applications such as baked goods, confectionery, and processed foods . It is derived from a proprietary blend of vegetable oils for a high amount of 90% mono-, di-, and triglycerides (CAS number 91744-20-6) and is both kosher and halal certified. It can be easily incorporated into mixes and dry applications via direct addition, delivering good dispersibility and providing excellent crumb softening and extrusion aid. Starplex® 590 provides a wide range of additional benefits to formulations, including emulsification, starch complexing, aeration, crystal modification, and product structuring. When used in cake batters and other baked good formulations, Starplex® 590 offers increased volume, tenderness, and shelf life, extending freshness and stability for up to three days longer. It also helps prevent shrinkage after baking, caking, melting, and lumping of baking powders.
