Universally adaptable – applications
QimiQ Cream Base is for hot and cold, sweet and savory dishes.
Acid, alcohol and bake stable
Lemon juice, alcohol or vinegar can be added to QimiQ without danger of curdling. QimiQ can be combined with almost all foods and can be used for cooking, baking and refining.
Emulsifies with oil and butter
Due to its unique cell structure created by the patented production process, QimiQ is able to emulsify with oil and butter.
Binds with liquids
QimiQ Cream Base can drastically reduce moisture migration, slow down skin formation and discoloration and enables longer presentation times of the end product. Dishes remain fresh and appetizing for longer, allowing easier pre-production. Ideal for sandwiches, spreads, dips, mousses and creams etc.
What QimiQ can replace (partially or completely)?
Gelatin
The dissolving of additional gelatin is no longer necessary in most recipes with QimiQ Classic and QimiQ Whip.
Heavy cream
In order to reduce the fat content without losing any taste e.g in gateaux, QimiQ Classic or QimiQ Whip can partially or completely replace heavy cream.
Butter/Fat
Reduce the fat content of cream cheese spreads by up to 80% without losing the full and creamy taste, by replacing the butter in the recipe with QimiQ.
Egg
QimiQ can completely replace eggs, in dishes such as mayonnaise, tiramisu and quiches, and therefore drastically reduces salmonella risk and cholesterol content.
Starch
QimiQ Sauce Base can replace flour, starch or roux partially or completely.
Special applications
Cook and Chill process
Soups and sauces remain stable during transport and will not separate.
Sous vide process
Cream soups and sauces remain stable and will not separate.
Frozen products
Dishes made with QimiQ have a very fine structure with an even fat distribution preventing moisture migration on defrosting thus providing longer presentation times (NOTE: this depends on the amount of solids).
