Trimoline

Trimoline (also know as Nevuline in the Pastry 1 line) is an Invert Sugar Syrup paste. It is very concentrated and very thick, used to prevent crystallization, resists humidity, acts as an anti-oxidant, increases carmelization, improves texture, preserves aroma, flavor, and color.

It is used in baked goods, yeast doughs, butter creams, etc.

It is bake stable and freeze stable.

It can be used as a replacement of part sugars: croissants and brioche (25-30%); soft doughs (30-35%); white bread (20g per kilo of flour); dry cakes (4-5%); genoise cakes and madeleines (5-10%); butter cream (25-40%).

I have been told that it is also used in chocolate truffles, but I don't know exactly how. maybe someone else can comment on this.

It has a 12 month shelf life once opened, and should be stored in a dry and cool place (68-72 degrees).

I hope this helps. :biggrin:

It is invert sugar -

As defined in factmoster.com "a mixture of the dextrorotatory forms of glucose and fructose, formed naturally in fruits and produced artificially in syrups or fondants by treating cane sugar with acids."

or "Invert sugar is prepared by the hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose (dextrose) and fructose. This is achieved by subjecting a sucrose solution to acid and heat:"

"Invert sugar has a high affinity for water. For this reason, invert sugar is used to keep products moist, extending acceptable shelf life. Applications of this include sugar confectionery, cakes and soft cookies, and bread rolls. In low fat baked goods this increase in moisture retention is especially important, since low fat products become dry and stale much more quickly than their full fat counterparts. Glycerol is often used as the humectant in cakes, and a suitable rule of thumb is that around two to three times the level of invert syrup can be used in place of glycerol. Using invert instead of glycerol will give the additional benefits of sweetness, flavour enhancement of fruit products, and colour and flavour development during cooking."

It is not really available to the home cook - it is a professional product and generally comes in big buckets.

Hope this answers your questions

I know a lot of pastry chefs who use trimoline in sorbet making--I use it in certain ice creams--why shouldn't it be used, Chocolate Guy? Sometimes the commercial formulations, labelling and names are different: "inverted sugar syrup" is used more often, I think but I've seen "liquid inverted sugar" as well--it's usually a whitish or yellowish sticky paste (I like the white paste) and works very well in sorbets and ice creams, lowers the freezing point, virtually eliminates crystallization, just don't use too high a percentage in your recipe or it will affect the final texture too much. It's used in chocolate and bon bon work as well to extend shelf life--and it helps bon bon's "freeze" better.

According to the technical specs that we have on Trimoline, it tells us not to use it in ice creams or sorbets.

I will check with the manufacturer and find out if it can be used, or if not, why not.

Thanks for the info.

That's why this forum is so useful, I learn something new every day.

I don't know if 'Nevuline', or whatever it's called, is aimed for a specific use, ie; baking, etc., but trimoline is used in many ice cream/sorbet recipes from the likes of Balaguer, Adria, Bau, the aforementioneded chefs from PA&D, like Michael Laiskonis, Nicole Kaplan (I believe) , other industry pros like Steve Klc, etc..

That said, the cake recipes I've made using trimoline have kind of put me off, in that it seems to give product a weird smell.

Has anyone else ever noticed that?

why would the home cook need this stuff? if you need invert sugar, use: honey, glucose, corn syrup, etc.

the professionals are using this to make products shelf stable either baked or frozen.

there are also many professionals who don't use this stuff at all and seem to get by with a pretty superior product.

You can buy a 2-1/2 pound container of Nulomoline (another brand of invert sugar) for $6.75 from Sweet Celebrations. They also sell 2-1/2 pounds of glucose and lots of other useful baking/pastry items. The prices are a little steep, but for the person who needs just a smidge, this is a good source.

If you are still looking - and after figuring out what it is I found Lepicerie.com supplies Trimoline and many other pastry ingredients for the home chef. Now that I have moved on to using higher end ingredients this site has been a great resource.
