Bakery & Confectionery
Heat-stable matcha and hojicha powders that retain vibrant color and robust flavor.
Technical Challenges
- Thermal Color Degradation: Chlorophyll is highly sensitive to heat. High baking temperatures cause it to break down, turning the product from a vibrant green to a dull yellowish-brown.
- Flavor Loss: The delicate flavor compounds of ceremonial matcha are easily lost during baking, leaving the product with little to no tea taste.
- Moisture Control in Chocolate: Adding standard powders to chocolate can introduce moisture, causing the chocolate to seize or lose its smooth texture.
Orisen Solutions
- Heat-Stable Culinary Grades: Our culinary grades are harvested during the second flush, containing higher levels of robust catechins that withstand thermal processing.
- pH Optimization Support: We advise product developers on adjusting batter pH (maintaining a neutral or slightly alkaline pH using baking soda) to preserve the natural chlorophyll color.
- Ultra-Low Moisture Powders: We guarantee a moisture content of under 4.0% for confectionery-grade powders, ensuring smooth integration into cocoa butter and chocolate lines.
Dosage & Formulation Guide
| Bakery Product | Recommended Grade | Dosage Rate (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Cakes & Sponge | Culinary Grade Matcha | 2.0% - 3.0% of flour weight |
| Cookies & Pastries | Culinary Grade Matcha | 2.5% - 4.0% of flour weight |
| Chocolates & Fillings | Culinary Grade Matcha (Low Moisture) | 3.0% - 5.0% of chocolate base |
R&D Pro Tip
When baking matcha sponge cakes, ensure the batter pH is between 6.5 and 7.2. If the batter is too acidic, the chlorophyll will degrade into brown pheophytin. A pinch of baking soda can help stabilize the pH and preserve the vibrant green color.
