- Q: What is invertase and how is it used in baking? A: Invertase, also known as Fermvertase, is a natural enzyme that is commonly used in baking and candy making to convert fondant from a solid to a liquid state. It helps retain moisture in recipes and is particularly effective in creating creamy liquid centers in candies like cherry cordials and cream eggs.
- Q: How much invertase should I use in my recipes? A: The typical application rate of invertase is between 0.1% to 0.25% of the total recipe weight. Increasing the amount of invertase will speed up the liquification process, allowing you to achieve desired results more quickly.
- Q: Can invertase be used with all types of fondant? A: Invertase can be used with moist fondant to enhance texture, but it is important to incorporate all other ingredients before adding invertase. Alcohol and acidic components may negatively affect its effectiveness, so it's best to use invertase carefully with these ingredients.
- Q: What types of candies benefit from using invertase? A: Invertase is beneficial in candies that require a creamy, liquid filling, such as fondant candy fillings, cherry cordials, cream eggs, and even in ganache centers to prevent crystallization. It helps create a smooth and enjoyable texture in these confections.
- Q: Is there any special storage or handling advice for invertase? A: Invertase should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its effectiveness. Be sure to follow the recommended usage guidelines to ensure optimal results in your baking and candy-making endeavors.
