Introduction to Alkaline: Alkaline is not exactly the same as lye, it is a mixture of caustic soda and soda water. Alkaline water is a mixture of caustic soda and soda water, while alkaline water is sodium carbonate solution. Alkaline water concentration of 60 degrees (due to the formulation of different families of alkaline water formula is not the same, the composition is not the same, so manufacturers in the use of the use of experimentation to see how much can be put in their own needs)

The role of the alkaline water is to neutralize the acidity of the syrup, so that the pie crust was alkaline, so that the pie crust is easy to bake coloring, alkaline higher pie crust is easier to change to the color of the golden Su, the heavier the upper body color, by adjusting the amount of alkaline water can be adjusted to the color of the pie crust. The color of the crust can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of alkaline water.

Alkaline is not directly related to the return of oil to the crust, the return of oil to the crust is only related to the concentration of sugar syrup and the sugar used, including the crust and filling, oil.

When rubbing the skin, must be connected to the standard recipe to join the water, if the water is too much will make the finished product color dark, easy to scorch black. After baking, it is easy to mold, affecting the return of oil. Alkaline put less, baking crust is difficult to color, cooked cake edges appear milky white points, points points points have a little wrinkles, the bottom of the cake skin color white, there are sand eyes affect the appearance of the cake.

The concentration of the alkaline water should not be too high or too low. The lower the concentration of the alkaline water, the more water is put in, which affects the quality of the products. If the concentration of the water is too high, the color of the product will be too dark.

Alkaline preparation: Formula 1, 50 grams of soda ash powder, 15 grams of water, mixed overnight and then filtered to use

Formula 2, 25 pounds of soda ash powder, 20 grams of caustic soda, 80 pounds of boiled water, 0.9 pounds of edible soda, all mixed well to use. If you do not use caustic soda, 75 pounds of water, caustic soda to make the baked moon cakes red, can be added when mixing
