Global Baking Ingredients Market to Grow – get ready to perfect your texture

According to MarketReportsWorld.com, analysts forecast the Global Baking Ingredients Market to Grow at 5.68% CAGR during the Period 2017-2021.

With growth potential comes the need to secure the quality of your product to ensure that customers will continue to purchase your products over your competitors. If you don’t have any quantitative quality control in place already perhaps it’s time to understand how it would work for you.
Baking is a cooking technique that uses a high degree of dry heat for a prolonged period. While baking, heat is gradually transferred from the surface of the dough, transforming it into a cooked and baked product with a soft centre but a firm, dry outer crust. To enhance the quality of the product, various ingredients are added to the dough or mixture while baking. Baking ingredients enhance the taste, texture, consistency, and colour of baking products.

However, to appreciate the degree of enhancement that the added ingredient has provided requires quantification. After all, why would you add expensive ingredients that didn’t provide a benefit or risk adding too much without increase of benefit? A Texture Analyser will provide the tool for measurement of texture of your products in order to compare between the original product and the one that has a ‘so called’ better formulation. 

In the game of winning over consumers to be their preferred bakery product choice manufacturers will often add feature statements to their products such as ‘10% softer bread’ or ‘half the fat but 50% crispier’. These types of numerical claims require substantiation using a quantitative method – something that will prove the statements by comparison of numbers.

Whether it’s the softness of bread, the crispiness of pastry, the stickiness or extensibility of dough, the springiness of loaves, the firmness of biscuit dough, the toughness of pizza crust, the strength of tortilla wraps or the increase volume of your bread, we have a texture analysis method already developed for your products’ quality assessment.

Here are just a few examples of our test methods:
