Product applications
1. Used as protein coagulant in the production of tofu -- tofu coagulant
1) Tofu produced with glucose acid lactone, its texture is white and soft, no bitterness
2) No protein loss, high rate of tofu production, easy to use


2. Used as material in production of baking powder -- leavening agent, acidulant
1) Glucose acid lactone is used as acid material in baking powder, when dissolve in water together with alkaline material, it will produce carbon dioxide. During the heating process, more carbon dioxide will be produced. The carbon dioxide makes products swell and soft
2) The baking powder with glucose acid lactone, foam is uniform and fine, flavor is good, widely used in production of cookies, donuts, cakes, steamed sponge cake, steamed stuffed bun, steamed bun, flaky pastry, bread and other foods
3) Suitable for compounding yeast powder, dosage is 50%--70% of total acidulant


3. Used in production of milk products and beer
1) The gelatinous strength of the milk formed with glucose acid lactone is twice of the fermentation type
2) In milk products, use glucose acid lactone to adjust pH value, which can prevent the formation of galalith
3) In production of beer, glucose acid lactone can prevent the formation of beer scale


4. Quality improver of meat products
1) Glucose acid lactone is used in luncheon meat and pork cans to increase the effect of chromogenic reagent, which can reduce the dosage of toxic nitrites
2) Glucose acid lactone has emulsifying and anti-septic effect, etc., which can improve the quality of minced meat cans and prolong shelf life


5. Used as acidulant
1) Glucolactone is main acidulant of compound swelling agent. It can produce carbon dioxide gas, widely used in production of special pastry
2) Glucolactone is widely used as acidulant in juice drinks, sweet fruit syrup and jelly
