Perfect for drizzling over lemon cakes and muffins, traybakes, blondies, and so much more.

How to Use Flavoured Compound Coating

Working Temperature

The optimal temperature for this product is 48-50°C. It is important not to heat the product above 55°C to avoid burning the compound.

Fluidity

For increased fluidity, the compound may be tempered by adding fully hydrogenated lauric palm oil at a concentration of 3-10% during melting. For most applications a concentration of 7% is recommended.

Shell Thickness

For a thinner layer of compound on a dipped or enrobed product, an emulsifier such as polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) E476 may be added to the product during melting.

Troubleshooting

• Compound coating has streaks on the surface – When used in any applications where visible, the product should be immediately put in the fridge, as the compound coating needs to be shock cooled.
