Functionality

Datem Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters of Mono and Diglycerides E 472e of DFC Chemical is a hydrophilic emulsifier which is easily dispersible in water. This food additive is considered the best emulsifier for strengthening the gluten network in bread dough.

Benefits in Bread

* By strengthening the gluten network and improving gluten extensibility it increases the volume of bread

* It creates better dough elasticity, resulting in better over-spring

* It aids fat distribution in dough resulting in smaller cells and a more uniform crumb structure.

* Improves machinability by adding plasticity to dough thereby reducing inconsistencies in batches from varying quality of other ingredients or due to mechanical stress

* Partially reduces added gluten.

In Summary, the application of DATEM has a lot of advantages as a bread improving ingredient.
