To satisfy the growing demand for egg-free and milk-free products – ideal for vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians, and people with food intolerances – bakers seek solutions that are safer and easier to use than traditional egg washes, while still obtaining the same striking visual appeal that consumers expect.
Magic Glaze is a range of glazing solutions developed to offer a water-based, vegan, unsweetened, cleaner label, and high-performance alternative to egg- or milk-based glazes.
This ready-to-use solution is designed to deliver superior shine and even browning on a wide range of baked goods, from viennoiserie to savory items. It is also available in a freeze-thaw stable version - Magic Glaze FTS - making it ideal also for frozen baked goods that require consistent appearance post-thaw.
Magic Glaze is the water-based, egg-free, and hydrogenated fat-free alternative to egg wash that ensures a golden, consistent finish to baked goods, while reducing the variability associated with the use of eggs.
With Magic Glaze, CSM Ingredients supports bakers, pastry chefs, retailers and food manufacturers in combining operational efficiency with consistent quality, while catering to consumer trends including vegan and cleaner label.
