• Stabilizes cocoa-based products.

Deacidification:

• Used to reduce acidity in wines and beers, enhancing their flavor balance.

Dough Leavening:

• When heated, it releases water vapor and carbon dioxide, allowing dough to rise naturally.

Advantages:

• Reduces excess sodium in preparations.
• Provides a beneficial potassium intake.
• Multifunctional properties suited to various food preparations.
