Functions and Applications
Kaotan-R1 – Key Benefits
- Prevents starch retrogradation and improves texture
- Enhances water absorption and retention capacity
- Boosts product toughness and plasticity
- Improves surface smoothness and chewiness
- Provides excellent heat resistance (boiling/stir-frying stable)
- Maintains freeze-thaw stability
- Prevents clouding in broth and strand breakage
- Reduces processing time while increasing yield
Applications
Recommended Uses
| Application Category | Dosage (dry flour basis) |
|---|---|
| Rice noodles/Hor fun/Hand-pulled noodles | 0.5%-0.8% |
| Processed noodles/Fen si/Bean threads | 0.4%-0.6% |
| Instant noodles/Dumpling wrappers | 0.3%-0.6% |
| Bread/Steamed buns | 0.3%-0.6% |
Processing Advantage: Particularly effective for rice-based and starch-based products, producing smooth-textured final products with bright appearance and non-sticky surface.
Usage Guidelines
- Standard preparation:
- Dissolve in 30x warm water with rapid stirring
- Allow to swell for 2-5 hours
- Add to rice slurry/batter with high-speed mixing
- Direct incorporation:
- Mix evenly with flour/starch before use
Recommended dosage range: 0.3%-0.8% (adjust based on product type)
Packaging & Storage
Storage: 24 months at ambient temperature (cool, dry place)
