The Whole Kit and Caboodle
Azelis Canada can help guide you through all the malt options to meet the bakery needs you are striving for.
Particulates
Malted Flakes
Grains are carefully malted, before being steamed, rolled and toasted. Wheat and rye malt flakes are available. The final texture and flavour can be refined by adjusting the flake thickness, and the degree of toasting. An organic option is also available
Traditionally used as bread inclusions, flakes offer wholegrain contribution, a toasted malt flavour and crunchy texture (chewy within the dough).
Cut Grains (Nuttimalt)
Malted cut grains are a great alternative to flakes where smaller particulates are required. Their smaller size allows for greater dispersal through the product. Similarly, they also add wholegrain goodness with a nutty, toasted flavour.
Diastatic Malt Flours
Enzyme Active Malt Flour
Enzyme active flours offer improved rise, softer texture and crust colour development
Enzyme active malt flours are processed carefully to preserve the natural enzymes synthesized through the malting process.
Rich in amylase, the ingredients are included at a low level (typically <1%) to breakdown starch in the dough throughout proving and conditioning. This ‘feeds’ the yeast for improved fermentation.
The result? More volume, better texture and a shorter bake time.
Crystal Malt Flour
Crystal malts offer a palate of warm brown/red colours, and sweet, cereal and biscuit flavours
Crystal malts have been processed to maximize the conversion of sugars within the grain, before being kilned to crystallize and caramelize the natural sugars created.
In a flour format, application usage is versatile. Perfect for adding colour naturally, introducing flavour, adding wholegrain, and helping to lift other flavours.
Roasted Malt Flours
Roasted malts offer an intense dark colour, and rich smoky, roasted flavours
Roasted malts have been processed in a way not to dissimilar from coffee beans: Roasted under intense temperatures to almost “burn” and over cook the natural sugars created at the beginning of the process.
In a flour format, application usage is versatile. Perfect for premiumising cocoa into darker notes, enhancing colour profiles or giving a richer colour and flavour to rye bread.
Malt Extracts
Liquid and Dried Malt Extracts
After malting, grains are ‘mashed’ to extract sugars and soluble proteins from the grain. After filtration, the resulting ‘wort’ is evaporated under vacuum to retain the sweet, malty flavour and aroma.
The combination of sugars and digested proteins promote Maillard browning, offering the opportunity of reduced bake time. The naturally occurring glutamates present enhance a variety of sweet and savoury flavours.
The textural aspects of baked goods are also enhanced, with humectancy improving cake texture throughout shelf life, and the sugars profile resulting in an improved snap to biscuits.
Dried versions of our malt extracts are also available. These are fully soluble, and ideal for low moisture applications, such as biscuit creams and chocolate confectionery and have a range of flavour profiles
