Light Malt Extract

Light malt extract is a product with a mild, grainy-malty flavor profile, delicate color and natural sweetness. It is characterized by subtle notes of malt, honey, bread and grains. It is particularly recommended when a natural malt flavor is desired without excessively darkening the finished product.

Light malt extract can be used in products such as:

• Beer and non-alcoholic beer, especially light lagers, non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beers, radlers, flavored beers and malt beverages. In non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beers, it helps build fullness of flavor, a natural wort aroma, mild sweetness and a typically beer-like character.
• Light-colored bread and bakery products, including bread rolls, wheat bread, toast bread, baguettes, breakfast baked goods, crispbread, rusks and yeast-based products. It supports fermentation and improves crust color, aroma, volume and product freshness.
• Sweets and confectionery products, including cookies, biscuits, wafers, bars, fillings, creams, confectionery masses, fudge, toffee and caramels. It provides natural sweetness, a delicate caramel-grain note and helps build a fuller flavor.
• Breakfast foods and grain products, including breakfast cereals, muesli, granola, cereal bars, puffed cereals and instant mixes. It enhances the grain flavor, improves color and allows a more natural product profile to be achieved.
• Non-alcoholic and functional beverages, including malted milk drinks, grain coffees, breakfast beverages, energy-grain drinks, and products for children and teenagers. It can be used as a base or flavor ingredient that provides mild sweetness and a richer flavor.
• Ice cream, desserts and dairy products, including ice cream, puddings, creams, desserts and dairy beverages. It enriches the flavor, provides a delicate malt aroma and can support the natural character of the formulation.
• Preserves, sauces and marinades, including light-colored sauces, dressings, marinades, glazes, fruit preserves and culinary products that require natural sweetness, a grainy aftertaste and delicate flavor rounding.
