How can yeast extracts help with cocoa reduction?
When using less cocoa, rather than trying to substitute for something else, Ohly's natural yeast solutions can be employed to bring balance, amplify rich chocolate flavour and add complexity to chocolate beverages, desserts or baked goods. With a cocoa reduction of up to 30%, they can mitigate the flavour loss by elevating the rich, dark roasted notes of the cocoa used.
When the sugars and amino acids in yeast are heated, they react to product rich, full-bodied, roasted flavours and deep brown colours which are key to chocolate applications.
