LASENOR® BK: Emulsifier range for cake and bakery mixes

The bakery market is vast and diverse, with industrial production models increasingly adopted to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and extend shelf life while maintaining high quality. LASENOR® BK, a range of activated emulsifiers specially designed for powdered bakery mixes, simplifies production by eliminating the need for pre-hydration, ensuring longer shelf life, and making dosing easier. The “all-in” mixing process enhances air incorporation, resulting in larger, softer cakes with a finer crumb structure. 

Bakery and patisserie products are widely sold in many countries with specific needs and regulations. These market segments rely heavily on industrial production methods to stay competitive globally. Like many other industries, they aim to streamline production, lower costs, and prolong product shelf life while maintaining the highest quality standards.
To meet these high standards, bakery and patisserie professionals need top-notch ingredients and components. This is where LASENOR® BK excels. Developed by the Lasenor R&D Department, this range of activated emulsifiers in powder format simplifies and enhances the efficiency of cake and bakery mix production. By integrating LASENOR® BK into their processes, bakers can achieve consistently high-quality results with minimal effort.

A high technology production: Spray Dryer
The LASENOR® BK product range is produced using advanced Spray Drying technology. This ultra-fast process vaporizes products at the highest quality while preserving their core characteristics. The drying process results in a powder form, which facilitates handling and transportation, reduces product loss and lowers costs. Spray Drying technology ensures that emulsifiers retain their functionality and effectiveness throughout production.
The product is introduced into a water base and emulsified with emulsifiers, bases, and stabilizers. This emulsion is then sprayed into a chamber with high-pressure and high-temperature air. The water evaporates, leaving an integrated emulsifier on an already activated base, ready for proper rehydration. This method ensures the emulsifiers’ stability and guarantees their optimal performance in various baking applications.

Advantages of Using LASENOR® BK bakery mixes
Traditionally, emulsifiers in bakeries are added as hydrates or cake gels, which require hydration or pre-treatment and have stability and dosage limitations. They cannot be included in powdered bakery mixes used by industry, artisans, or home bakers. LASENOR® BK addresses these challenges by providing a convenient, ready-to-use solution that integrates seamlessly into production.

The LASENOR® BK range has been developed to optimize the production process by simultaneously mixing all ingredients, reducing mixing time, and lowering manufacturers’ costs.

This efficiency not only saves time but also improves the consistency and quality of the final products. Manufacturers can produce larger batches with less effort, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality baked goods.

This product range offers tailored solutions for specific baking applications. LASENOR® BK-101 and LASENOR® BK-102 are ideal for recipes with lower dough density, such as sponge cakes and Swiss rolls. Sponge cakes are known for their light, airy texture, achieved by whipping eggs and sugar to incorporate air. This results in a delicate and fluffy cake that is a favorite in many cultures. Meanwhile, LASENOR® BK-111 is perfect for higher-density recipes like pound cakes and muffins. Pound cakes, traditionally made with a pound each of flour, butter, eggs, and sugar, are famous for their rich, dense texture. Both products are formulated to maximize air intake, resulting in enhanced volume and prolonged softness in baked goods.
