Questions about Spent Powder
Vanilla Fair's Spent Powder is a natural vanilla marker: it adds visible vanilla grains, a soft natural colouring and a subtle vanilla aroma to professional preparations. Recommended applications are dairy products (yogurts, creams, dairy desserts), bakery (biscuits, cakes, dry preparations), ice cream bases and sorbets, and confectionery decorations and coatings.
Spent Powder is made of 100% vanilla from Madagascar red vanilla beans (Vanilla planifolia) that have already been used for extraction. After the main aromatic compounds are extracted, the residual material is ground with a nitrogen grinder into a light brown powder with a 600 μm particle size and residual moisture below 9%.
Vanilla Fair recommends 3 to 5 g/kg in dairy preparations, 2 to 4 g/kg in pastries and 4 to 6 g/L in ice creams. For decoration, the dose is adjusted to the visual effect you want.
Store Spent Powder at room temperature (+12°C to +19°C / 53.6°F to 66.2°F) in its original packaging, correctly closed, away from air and light. Avoid significant and repeated thermal shocks and do not store it near other spices. Under these conditions the shelf life is 12 to 24 months.
Yes, but lightly: Spent Powder has a mild vanilla smell and taste, because the main aromatic compounds were removed during extraction. It is chosen for its visual signature and a subtle vanilla note rather than for a strong vanilla flavour.
Spent Powder is supplied in heat-sealed bags of 10 kg, 20 kg or 25 kg (22 lb, 44 lb, 55 lb). It is available all year round, with export documentation for customs formalities.
