DSTU 2900:2006 “Food concentrates” is a Ukrainian national standard covering dry mix semi-finished products made from flour, sugar, starch, dry milk, and other ingredients — with or without food additives. These mixes are intended for preparing cakes, cookies, gingerbread, and other confectionery products for retail sale and food service establishments.
Scope
The standard applies to dry flour-based semi-finished products (food concentrates) that require minimal preparation by the end user — typically just adding water, eggs, or butter and baking. These products bridge the gap between industrial and home baking by providing pre-measured, pre-blended dry mixes with consistent quality.
Key requirements
DSTU 2900:2006 establishes requirements for organoleptic properties (appearance, color, taste, odor of both the dry mix and the finished product), physicochemical parameters (moisture content, mass fraction of fat, sugar, ash, acidity), and microbiological safety. The standard also specifies packaging, labeling, storage, and transportation rules.
Referenced standards
The standard references numerous Ukrainian and interstate standards for raw materials used in food concentrates, including citric acid (DSTU GOST 908), sugar (DSTU 2316), salt (DSTU 3583), corn starch (DSTU 3976), dry milk (DSTU 4273), potato starch (DSTU 4286), cocoa powder (DSTU 4391), and instant coffee (DSTU 4394), among others.
