- [Ube powder for industrial bakery use](https://commercialubepowder.com/ube-powder-for-industrial-bakery): For industrial bakery use, choose 100% ube powder (Dioscorea alata) with a spec sheet and batch COA, and set dosage by trial from the supplier's guide. Big Moca's spec suggests about 10% of dry weight, which at €60 per kg adds about €6 per kg of dry mix. Ube's colour comes from anthocyanins, which turn bluer in alkaline doughs and redder in acidic ones.
- [Ube powder for ice cream production](https://commercialubepowder.com/ube-powder-for-ice-cream-production): For ice cream production, 100% ube powder gives colour and flavour from one ingredient and suits dairy and vegan bases alike. Set the dosage by trial: every 1% of ube powder in a mix costs €0.50–0.60 per kg of mix at bulk prices of €50–60 per kg (Big Moca, excl. VAT). Liquid ube extract is dosed far lower, at 0.5–2 g per kg (Royal Brand).
