FAQs of Glucono Delta Lactone(GDL):
Q: How is Glucono Delta Lactone (GDL) used in food manufacturing?
A: GDL is commonly used as a coagulant for tofu, an acidifier, leavening agent in bakery products, and a preservative. Its slow hydrolysis in water leads to gradual acidification, making it ideal for applications requiring controlled pH reduction.
Q: What are the primary benefits of incorporating Glucono Delta Lactone in foods?
A: GDL offers a mild, progressive acidification, enhancing texture and shelf life of foods. It allows for better control of acidity, improves product consistency, and acts as a preservative, extending the freshness of various food products.
Q: When should GDL be added during food processing?
A: GDL is generally added during the mixing stage of food preparation. Its slow-acting acidification ensures even distribution of acidity, making it suitable for recipes requiring gradual pH adjustment, such as tofu or bakery doughs.
Q: Where can Glucono Delta Lactone be sourced in South Africa?
A: GDL is available from a range of suppliers, dealers, manufacturers, traders, and exporters throughout South Africa. It is commonly supplied in 25 kg kraft bags, though packaging can be tailored to specific requirements.
Q: What is the typical process for using GDL in tofu production?
A: In tofu production, GDL is dissolved in water and added to heated soy milk. The gradual acidification causes the soy proteins to coagulate gently, producing a smooth and uniform tofu texture.
Q: How should Glucono Delta Lactone be stored to ensure its quality?
A: GDL should be kept in a sealed container, stored in a cool, dry environment. Proper storage preserves its potency and helps maintain its safety and functionality over a shelf life of up to two years.
Q: What safety and purity specifications does this GDL meet?
A: This GDL meets food-grade standards, with a purity of 99%, heavy metals content 10 ppm, arsenic 2 ppm, and strict microbial limits. It is odorless, non-poisonous, and its compliance with international safety guidelines ensures safe usage in food products.
