Wide range of milk fats for bakery and confectionery industry
The product range of milk fats for the bakery and confectionery industry includes German branded butter, baker’s butter with carotene, lamination butter for making puff pastries as sheets or blocks, pure anhydrous milk fat, concentrated butter with added vanillin or carotene, as well as individually and tailormade developed compounds based on milk fat. The latter are one of the strength of the experienced milk fat specialist.
Unique technologies for individual milk fat products
In addition to traditionally churned German branded butter, Uelzena also produces recombined butter. Using this special production process they precisely can define the product properties of the milk fat, e.g. in terms of melting point, texture or plasticity. It also ensures a product quality that is free of fluctuations throughout the year.
Furthermore, Uelzena is one of a few companies that can separate milk fat into the individual fat fractions with the help of a unique technology. These fractions then can be used for the recombination of butter to specifically influence the melting point or the solid fat distribution by adding low- or high-melting fractions like olein and stearine.
A special deodorisation plant enables Uelzena to extract the colour and, if necessary, the typical butter taste from the milk fat. This „White AMF“ is ideal for producing of milk products and cheese as well as sweets, biscuit and chocolates with very light-coloured fillings.
Individual milk fat developments according to customer specifications
A very special service is the development of individual products and recipes for customers in the baking or confectionery industry, e.g. butterfat with added vegetable fats, customised milk fat compounds or adapted packaging contents and options. This results in products that are specially optimised for the respective application and the customer’s existing processing technology.
