This product has high purity, is safe to use, and has received halal certification, making it the main choice for the food industry.
Food Industry
In the food and flour industry, High Purity Calcium Hydroxide Food Grade is used for a variety of applications. For example, in the manufacture of cornstarch (masa) for tortillas or tamales, food grade calcium hydroxide is used in the nixtamalization process. This process involves soaking corn in a calcium hydroxide solution to soften the corn kernels, increase the content of nutrients such as calcium and niacin, and improve texture and flavor. Additionally, in the manufacture of breads and pastries, food grade calcium hydroxide acts as a leavening agent and pH adjuster, helping to produce a soft and consistent texture.
Beverage Industry
In the beverage industry, food grade calcium hydroxide also plays an important role. In carbonated drinks, this ingredient is used to stabilize pH and improve taste quality. Meanwhile, in milk-based drinks, food grade calcium hydroxide functions as a source of calcium that enriches nutritional value and maintains product stability. Not only that, in the snack industry such as crackers, chips, candy, and chocolate, calcium hydroxide is used to improve texture, provide a savory taste, and act as a pH regulator and binder.
In the Snack and Chips Industry
In making snacks and chips, High Purity Calcium Hydroxide Food Grade functions as a pH regulator and thickener that helps improve texture and taste. For example, in making chips, food grade calcium hydroxide is used to maintain crispiness and provide a crunchy texture when fried. In addition, this ingredient also helps stabilize the pH of the dough, so that the chips do not easily absorb excess oil during the frying process. This results in lighter, less oily chips that have a longer shelf life.
Fried Chicken Flour Industry
In the manufacture of fried food flour such as fried chicken flour, food grade calcium hydroxide plays a crucial role in improving the quality of the final product. Fried chicken flour mixed with food grade calcium hydroxide will produce a crispier and crunchier layer when fried. Calcium hydroxide also helps bind water in the dough, so that the flour layer does not easily come off the chicken when fried. In addition, this ingredient functions as a pH regulator that maintains the stability of the dough, resulting in a consistent texture and better taste.
The superiority of High Purity Calcium Hydroxide Food Grade produced by PT Niraku Jaya Abadi lies not only in its purity and safety, but also in its guaranteed quality consistency. This product is environmentally friendly and produced with modern and sustainable technological processes, making it a responsible choice for the food industry. By using this product, the food, beverage, snack, chips, and fried chicken flour industries can improve product quality, extend shelf life, and support innovation in creating new, attractive and value-added products. Thus, High Purity Calcium Hydroxide Food Grade from PT Niraku Jaya Abadi not only strengthens the production process, but also contributes to the creation of high-quality food products that are safe and nutritious for consumers.
