Quick Clean Label in Bakery

Recently, Delavau Food Partners R&D Manager Alejandro Perez-Gonzalez presented at the Clean Label Conference on the topic of Faster Clean Label Bakery Formulation with Predictive Capabilities of Performance. In his presentation, Perez-Gonzalez demonstrates how Delavau’s optimized clean label conditioners perform as effectively as traditional ones to modify dough rheology and bake performance. Below is a summary of presentation highlights.

 

Clean_Label_Bakery_ListMany traditional dough strengtheners (like ADA, SSL, DATEM, potassium iodate) and dough relaxers (such as L-Cysteine and sodium metabisulfite) are not consumer-friendly on the label, but have traditionally been relied upon to achieve a desired sensory experience. Furthermore, clean label baked good reformulation can also be time-intensive.

 

Recognizing the demand for clean label solutions and the formulation challenges that come with doing so, Delavau developed clean label products to achieve the desired performance and experience in baked goods. Additionally, Delavau’s methodology of dough rheology data collection and analysis, which allows directional predictions of baker performance, enables faster product development and fewer bake line trials.

 

With Delavau’s Encore Plus™ 5450, a desirable sensory experience and clean label can be achieved in breads, sweet goods, and other bakery items. Additionally, clean label strengthening ingredient Encore Strong™ 5452 increased development time in line with a stronger gluten structure to support dough strength and tolerance, as well as promoted uniform grain and increased volume. Furthermore, Encore Relax™ 5451 delivers clean label dough extensibility and machinability, as well as consistent shape and size.

Delavau at #Cereals17

Delavau Food Partners exhibited at the American Association of Cereal Chemists International in San Diego on October 8-11, 2017, featuring clean label solutions for dough conditioning, shelf life, and more.

 

Additionally, Delavau organized the symposium “Clean Label Formulation: Strategies and Functional Aspects,” in which we discussed approaches to developing ingredients with improved functionality, with emphasis on their benefits for processability, finished product quality, and shelf stability.

 

Alejandro J. Perez-Gonzalez, our R&D Manager, gave a talk entitled “Effects of Clean Label Conditioners on Dough Rheology.” The presentation looked at two of Delavau’s clean label systems and how they can help adjust dough characteristics to improve processing and finished product performance. If you weren’t able to attend the symposium, but would like to know more on this topic and our R&D capabilities, get in touch.

Delavau Presents Expanded Line of Encore Ingredients

Delavau Food Partners, a premier supplier of food ingredients and technologies for bakery, snack, and confectionery brands, is presenting its expanded line of Encore ingredients at the 2016 IBIE show in Las Vegas. The ingredients offer shelf-life extension with mold inhibition, clean label solutions, and a consistent, quality eating experience.

 

Food brands turn to Delavau to develop or reformulate products with one or more objectives in mind, such as mold inhibition, anti-staling, strength, extensibility, clean label, and more. The company has further developed its line of Encore ingredients to meet these objectives, to include:

 

  • • Encore Fresh™: the antimicrobial functionality of this ingredient extends the shelf life of breads, sweet goods, and snacks. With Encore Fresh, Delavau has extended the shelf life of pita from 10 to 21 days.
  • • Encore Soft™: with this anti-staling ingredient, breads, sweet goods, and snacks taste fresher longer. With Encore Soft, Delavau has extended the eating experience of fresh-made donuts from 18 to 36 hours and shelf-stable snack cakes from 30 to 45 days.
  • • Encore Soft AM™: combining the capabilities of Encore Fresh and Encore Soft, this ingredient achieves the ideal balance between good-tasting and long-lasting, with both anti-staling and antimicrobial functionality.
  • • Encore Strong™: this dough conditioning ingredient provides strength, elasticity, and tolerance, for increased strength and volume of finished baked goods.
  • • Encore Relax™: this ingredient supports better processing for pizza and other doughs, reducing elasticity, increasing extensibility, and shortening mix times.
  • • Encore Plus™: Delavau’s Encore Plus ingredients include multifaceted solutions, such as a clean label reformulation that also delivers shelf life extension and anti-staling benefits. Drawing on its team’s extensive bakery expertise and limitless capabilities, Delavau is able to deliver solutions that offer operational benefits that also support an ideal eating experience in muffins, breads, pizza, and more.

 

“Customers often come to us for our expertise and know-how in addressing a variety of challenges. With our unlimited toolbox of raw materials and the extensive bakery experience on our technical team, we’re well-equipped to solve any issue a customer is facing,” said Angie Singer, director of sales and marketing. “In addition to our line of Encore ingredients, we also examine customers’ operations, facilities, packaging, and more to develop the most comprehensive solution, from ingredient legend to eating experience.”

 

In addition to debuting its new line of ingredients at IBIE, Delavau will also be demonstrating its Accent fortification ingredient in fresh-made, calcium-fortified pancakes made by pancake artist Saipancakes. Furthermore, attendees will be able to sample calcium-fortified chocolate chip muffins, which deliver a glass-of-milk-level of calcium in a two-ounce muffin.
