Why granules are better?

• Granules don't produce dust clouds on pouring, which means there is less time spent on cleaning.

• Granules dissolve faster in water and more reliably in the dough mixing bowl because they are more porous.

• They have a greater surface area which allows them to be penetrated in more places by water.

• Granules flow better through the canister /dropper as there is more air space between the particles allowing them to rub against each other like greased ball bearings for easy flow.

• Granules do not clog it reduces the operational issues and more frequent callouts to sites.

• Bulk density of granular is higher compared to the powder form, so it requires less space for storage & transportation.

Major applications: 

• Bread, Tortilla & Flat Bread etc.
• Paneer/ Cottage chesses
• Yeast leaven products
• Cakes & Doughnuts
