Azucren Dextrose Powder - 600g
The secret ingredient for a perfectly balanced texture and taste
The Azucren dextrose is a versatile technical sugar, derived from corn starch, essential for demanding bakers and ice cream makers. Less sweet than traditional sugar (sucrose), it allows you to adjust the texture and preservation of your creations without overwhelming the taste.
Why use dextrose in your preparations?
-
Texture improvement: In ice cream making, it lowers the freezing point, thus preventing the formation of ice crystals to achieve sorbets and ice creams with unmatched creaminess.
-
Sugar paste flexibility: When incorporated into your homemade sugar doughs, it prevents the mixture from becoming too crumbly and avoids cracking when covering your cakes.
-
Flavor enhancer: Dextrose gently highlights the natural aromas of fruits and preparations without masking the flavors with excess sweetness.
-
Preservative agent: It helps maintain moisture in bakery and pastry products, thus extending their freshness.

Patissland expert’s technical advice
Dextrose has a sweetening power (SP) of about 70 to 75% compared to table sugar. For your ice creams, replace about 10% of your total sugar weight with dextrose: you will obtain a much softer structure when taken out of the freezer.
Note to Cake Design creators: If your homemade sugar paste tends to crumble, adding dextrose during kneading will provide the necessary elasticity for a perfect smoothing.
