AVEBE launches new frozen dumpling solution

AVEBE and Ingredion have jointly developed a new starch, ELIANE GEL 100 is said to be uniquely thermo-reversible and, said AVEBE, offers the perfect solution for juicy fillings in frozen dumplings.

For a long time, according to AVEBE, frozen dumpling manufacturers have been looking for an ingredient that forms a semi-solid gel, carries the taste well and contributes to the filling consistency, and that becomes liquid upon cooking. Also, the company noted, it is the case that, during automated dumpling production, two major problems arise: dumpling wrappers crack and poor injection filling.

AVEBE’s solution is ELIANE GEL 100, with its medium viscosity said to give the filling consistency so precise amounts can be injected into the dumpling wrapper. When the dumplings are cooked in water, AVEBE says that taste and colour of the fillings are carried well by the starch, which forms a gel when cooled down. ELIANE GEL 100, claims the company, solves the problem of wrapper cracking, filling injector blocking and offers a juicy filling texture.

ELIANE GEL 100 is derived from high quality waxy potato starch, is vegetarian and Kosher & Halal certified.

Dumplings are one of the most popular traditional foods in Asia which, in ancient China, date back at least 1400 years ago. Dumplings are consumed both with main meals and desserts. Due to their delicious taste and convenient preparation, this traditional food has become one of the fastest growing products in the frozen and ready-to-eat food industry in Asia.
