- Product Highlights
A range of functional, aluminum-free bakery acidulants, for use with either sodium or potassium bicarbonate. The OPUS™ range has been developed using specific blends of leavening acids to provide aluminum-free replacements for sodium aluminum phosphate (SALP). By understanding the benefits when using SALP, we have developed high quality alternatives to achieve the same end product characteristics, without the health concerns attributed to aluminum-based ingredients. OPUS™ also offers bakers a comprehensive selection of sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP) acidulant blends with a range of reaction rates, designed to achieve optimum results in all chemically leavened goods.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Aluminium Reduction
Research linking aluminum consumption to Alzheimer’s disease prompted a change in European legislation in 2014, leading to the elimination of SALP in the majority of baked goods. As more countries look to take a similar stance, bakers can now proactively reduce the aluminum content of their products and stay ahead of industry trends by using OPUS™.
- Neutralising Value
OPUS™ can be successfully used with either sodium bicarbonate or our KODA™ Potassium Bicarbonate. The following table tells you how much bicarbonate to use with 100 parts of OPUS™ (known as the Neutralizing Value).
