ARM & HAMMER’s™ Performance Products Division today announces its collaboration with U.K.-based Kudos Blends to bring new potassium bicarbonate solutions to the U.S. baking marketing under the brand name of KODA™.
KODA gives food manufacturers a healthy alternative to sodium bicarbonate, addressing two needs—reduce sodium in diets without sacrificing baked goods’ taste while adding the essential mineral, potassium. KODA is set to revolutionize the baking process, offering unparalleled benefits for manufacturers and consumers alike.
“We are proud to introduce KODA to the U.S. baking industry with our collaborators, Kudos Blends,” said Melissa Patasnick, director of specialty chemicals, Church & Dwight Co., Inc. “With the launch of the KODA products, we’re expanding our portfolio, so manufacturers have a wider range of application choices to create exceptional baked goods that taste great and are healthy for consumers.”
New KODA Products
KODA 50 is the ultimate solution for low-moisture dough products such as biscuits. With its superior solubility that prevents bicarbonate “spotting,” KODA 50 also enhances the overall quality and consistency of baked goods and takes them to the next level.
KODA 100 is the ideal choice for batter products like cakes. Its specialized particle size guarantees excellent dissolution properties, creating delightful, fluffy end-products with every bake; all without compromising taste.
“We are excited to team up with an iconic, global brand, like ARM & HAMMER, where together we can bring our innovative ingredients to the U.S. baking market,” said Dinnie Jordan, founder and managing director, Kudos Blends. “We pride ourselves on our dedication to advancing baking technology and delivering solutions that drive innovation.”
Why Potassium Bicarbonate for Baking?
Potassium bicarbonate solutions enable bakers to effectively meet sodium reduction targets by replacing some or all of the sodium bicarbonate in their formulations. Unlike other potassium bicarbonate, KODA is carefully crafted to ensure efficient leavening, ease of handling, and maximum stability to create perfectly leavened products that maintain their desired taste profile without any undesirable notes.
Furthermore, switching to potassium bicarbonate can boost potassium content and promote health benefits in finished products. KODA not only enhances essential mineral levels but also aligns with the demands of health-conscious consumers, offering a cleaner label and superior nutritional value.
ARM & HAMMER’s new KODA products are available now and provide a broader range of options for its valued customers. For more information about KODA from ARM & HAMMER, please visit: www.ahperformance.com/products/potassium-bicarbonate/.
