Gastronomy | LIQUISS Invert Sugar BIO

LIQUISS Invert Sugar Organic is made from Swiss organic beet sugar and is almost completely inverted. The ideal humectant for organic baked goods and desserts or for lowering the freezing point in ice cream and sorbets.

Shelf life

When stored at room temperature (15 - 30° C), LIQUISS Organic Invert Sugar can also be stored for several months beyond the best-before date. Do not store in the refrigerator! (risk of crystallisation).

Advantages

LIQUISS Organic Invert Sugar does not contain any known allergens and can be used for vegan products.

Dosage

100ml (136g) Invert Sugar Organic contains 104g sugar and 32g water. The added water must be taken into account in the recipe if you want to replace granulated sugar. LIQUISS Organic Invert Sugar reduces the freezing point in ice cream and sorbet (replace 10-15% of the sugar), makes the product soft and creamy and easier to process. The simple sugars fructose and glucose are responsible for lowering the freezing point. The mouthfeel can be enhanced by adding LIQUISS glucose syrup at the same time. It should be noted that the polysaccharides contained in glucose syrup cause the freezing point to rise again.

Tips

LIQUISS Organic Invert Sugar extends the shelf life of cakes and pastries (replace 10-15% of the sugar), is easy to dose, is immediately present in the dough in dissolved form and makes the dough plastic. Organic invert sugar has a stronger browning capacity than granulated sugar.

The browning of the baked goods during the baking process is based on two processes:

• Caramelisation of the sugar
• Melanoidin formation from sugar and amino acids of the proteins.

The sugar crystals begin to melt at 187 °C. When heated further, the beet sugar melt partially inverts to glucose and fructose, which are then broken down further. In addition to colour, aromas are also formed during caramelisation. The formation of melanoidins takes place at much lower temperatures. In the Maillard reaction, sugars combine with certain amino acids in proteins. LIQUISS Organic Invert Sugar can also be used to sweeten other bakery products, e.g. for sweetening whipped cream, fuchtwähen, muesli or fruit salad.
