Product Characteristics or Behavior

HB-112 Shortening Flakes are made with hydrogenated palm kernel oil and are designed for consistent performance in baking applications. This all-purpose shortening is 100% fat and is solid at room temperature, helping improve tenderness, texture, and moisture retention in finished baked goods.

Because it has no aroma or flavor, it provides a neutral base for recipes where you want clean flavor release from other ingredients. It is commonly used to keep dough soft, help cakes stay moist, and support structure and volume in pastries and baked desserts.

 

Product Details

This shortening is primarily used for cakes, pie pastries, and general baking needs where reliable fat performance matters. Compared to butter, it delivers a more neutral taste profile and can help improve consistency in high-volume production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HB Shortening 112L-Flakes made from?
It’s made with hydrogenated palm kernel oil, creating a stable, all-purpose shortening that’s ideal for baking applications. It’s 100% fat with no water content, ensuring consistent texture and volume in baked goods.
What are the main uses for all-purpose shortening?
It’s commonly used in cakes, pies, cookies, and pastries to produce soft, moist textures and flaky crusts. Its neutral flavor makes it versatile for both sweet and savory recipes.
How does shortening differ from butter or margarine?
Unlike butter, shortening contains no water and has a higher melting point, resulting in lighter, more tender baked goods. It also has a neutral flavor and longer shelf life.
Why is shortening important in baking?
Shortening helps trap air in the dough during mixing, which contributes to soft textures in cakes and tender, flaky layers in pastries. It also prevents gluten development, keeping doughs pliable.
