Lametop®

Our Lametop® DATEMs: Highly Effective Emulsifiers for Baked Goods

Our Lametop® range (mono- and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids) helps baked goods manufacturers deliver an attractive appearance, delicious taste, high volume and perfect crumb structure. It can also be used as a stabilizer in non-dairy cream, ready-to-drink milk tea and in many other emulsions.

Consumers like to have appealing baked goods with a great smell, taste and feel. Bread and rolls should come in a perfect shape, with a soft and elastic crumb structure and crispy crust. All goods need to have a long shelf life and stay as fresh as on their first day.

Our Lametop® range is used in many different yeast-raised baked goods to ensure production safety at all times and consistent high quality. It improves dough stability and tolerance and creates excellent volume in all kinds of baked goods.

Lametop® is typically applied as part of an improver system, consisting of additional emulsifiers (e.g. Nutrisoft® 55Lamemul®), enzymes (Nutrilife®), oxidizing agents and other components.
