Sauces
Flavour Profile – The right combination of acidic, sweet, and savoury ingredients create a well-balanced sauce. Ingredients, such as garlic, can deepen the flavour profile of sauces.
Texture and Consistency – Ingredients, such as corn starch, are vital for achieving the desired thickness without compromising flavour. Emulsifiers, like egg yolk and mustard, ensure a smooth and stable sauce.
Nutritional Value – Selecting ingredients that cater to specific dietary preferences, such as low-fat or gluten-free thickeners, can make sauces healthier.
Some sauces are also a mixture of sauces, for example, soy sauce is commonly used as an ingredient when manufacturing sauces.
