Liquid Golden Dark

DESCRIPTION

Produced from whole grains of barley and malt, the malt extract is a natural ingredient, rich and delicious that adds sweetness, flavor and texture to a wide variety of food and beverages.
The malt extract has maltose as its main sugar, containing also proteins in their hydrolyzed form, vitamins and minerals, presenting itself as a natural sweetener, superior to the conventional sugar due to its nutritional profile.
At Liotécnica, the production of malt extract is done in a completely automated and controlled facility, with FSSC 22000 certification, with no use of any additives, which makes the ingredient ideal to be used in clean label products.

With a mild presence of malt and cereal notes and golden color, the Liquid Golden Light Syrupy Malt Extract is ideal to provide a mild and lightly sweet flavor to the applications, as well as favoring the crunchiness intake and acting in the development of golden color due to the Maillard reaction.
