Crystal promoters for confectionery products

Speed and time are essential parameters in any production. This is especially a challenge when confectionary producers create healthier products with higher amounts of unsaturated fats. Normally, this change means that longer time is needed when cooling products in the cooling tunnel.

Moving from 5 minutes to 8 minutes cooling in a production is, however, often not an option as it lowers capacity. The solution is Palsgaard CrystalPromoters. Palsgaard^® CrystalPromoter 41 has the ability to speed up crystallization of the product, meaning that loss of time will be less after reformulating.

Fast crystallization

Many confectionary producers face problems when reformulating to create the healthier products that are demanded in more and more markets. Going from high saturated fat to low saturated fat solutions often means stability and crystallization problems in confectionary products. Going from fast crystallizing fats to slow crystallizing fats is often a challenge. Palsgaard^® CrystalPromoter 41 delivers the solution as the product is an excellent promoter of crystallization.

Product improvements

Palsgaard^® CrystalPromoter 41 optimizes the crystallization speed in applications like unhardened CBS -, CBR -, low trans CBR compounds, low saturated fat fillings or confectionary fat systems where cooling takes too long in the cooling tunnel. In these fat systems you achieve the following benefits:
• faster cooling
• avoidance of decreased capacity
• faster demoulding possible
• faster packaging after end production
• prolonged shelf life
• less "start-migration"

Small dosage - big effect

Palsgaard^® CrystalPromoter 41 comes in powder form. This makes it easy to melt and distribute in confectionary productions. With Palsgaard^® CrystalPromoter 41 a big effect is achieved with a small dosage. The normal procedure is to add Palsgaard^® CrystalPromoter 41 during the conching step. Depending on the application a dosage of only 0.5-2.0% is needed to create the right effect. Palsgaard^® CrystalPromoter 41 is non- GMO, trans free and 100% vegetable fat based. Palsgaard^® CrystalPromoter 41 consists of special rape seed oil, and is therefore palm free.
