Snacking has long been a cherished tradition in Indonesia, deeply embedded in its culture. It’s a way to enjoy quality time with family or simply satisfy hunger between meals. Among the many snacks that have captured the hearts of Indonesians, donuts stand out as a perennial favorite. With endless variations like Greek donuts, bomboloni, and mochi donuts, their appeal continues to grow, driven by constant innovation that piques consumer curiosity.

What Makes a Donut Excellent

Creating the perfect donut involves achieving several key qualities. A top-notch donut features a beautifully golden, evenly colored crust, a symmetrical shape, fluffy texture, white crumb, and no residual floury taste. However, consistently producing such high-quality donuts can be challenging, especially for yeast-raised varieties that are sensitive to room temperature during dough resting.

An emulsifier can be a game-changer for achieving excellence. It enhances the texture of donuts, making them lighter and softer by retaining moisture within the dough. BASF’s Nutrisoft® is an ideal solution, helping stabilize dough while boosting volume and crumb softness. It also reduces greasiness after frying, improves dough elasticity, and minimizes stickiness. These optimized results can save time and reduce production costs.

In addition, Nutrisoft® offers anti-staling benefits, extending the shelf life of donuts and other baked goods. This contributes to sustainability by reducing food waste—an increasingly important consideration in today’s world.
