EWING, NJ — Arm & Hammer’s Performance Products Division announced its collaboration with Kudos Blends, a UK-based manufacturer of industrial baking powders and leavening agents, to bring new potassium bicarbonate solutions to the US baking market.
Under the Koda brand name, the companies are manufacturing an alternative to sodium bicarbonate that adds potassium and reduces sodium in baked goods while maintaining taste profiles.
“We are excited to team up with an iconic, global brand, like Arm & Hammer, where together we can bring our innovative ingredients to the US baking market,” said Dinnie Jordan, founder and managing director of Kudos Blends. “We pride ourselves on our dedication to advancing baking technology and delivering solutions that drive innovation.”
“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 healthier for consumers.”— Melissa Patasnick | director of specialty chemicals | Church & Dwight Co.
Koda 50 and Koda 100 are also formulated to deliver efficient leavening, ease of handling and maximum stability.
Koda 50 prevents bicarbonate spotting and is well-suited for low-moisture dough products such as biscuits, while Koda 100 is used for batter-based products such as cakes and guarantees proper dissolution properties.
“We are proud to introduce Koda to the U.S. baking industry with our collaborators, Kudos Blends,” said Melissa Patasnick, director of specialty chemicals at Church & Dwight Co., the parent company of Arm & Hammer. “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 healthier for consumers.”
Koda products are available now on the Arm & Hammer website.
