Product Features

White oil, also known as mineral oil, is a highly refined petroleum product that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. When it meets certain purity standards, it’s considered food grade and safe for use in various food applications, including as a mould release agent in cake baking.

White oil can be an effective release agent due to its lubricating properties. It creates a barrier between the cake batter and the mold, preventing the baked cake from sticking to the mould and aiding in easy release after baking.

Product Application

Here are some properties and benefits of using food grade white oil as a cake mould release agent:

– **Non-reactive**: White oil is chemically inert, meaning it does not react with the food products or cause any undesirable changes in flavor or appearance.

– **Heat stable**: It remains stable at the high temperatures typical of baking, maintaining its properties and effectiveness.

– **Safe for consumption**: Food grade white oil is considered safe for consumption. Its use in food applications is regulated and approved by various authorities, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

– **Effective at releasing**: Its lubricating properties make it effective at preventing sticking and aiding in the release of baked goods from moulds.

– **Easy to apply**: It can be easily applied to baking molds using a brush or a spray.

However, it’s important to note that while white oil is effective at releasing, it doesn’t contribute to browning or flavor as some other release agents (like butter or oil-based sprays) might.

Also, only food grade white oil should be used in any food application. Non-food-grade white oils may contain impurities or additives that are not safe for consumption. Always check the product specifications and ensure it complies with food safety regulations in your country.
