Introduction The bakery sector is facing the challenge of replacing several ingredients by healthier options. Phosphates and salt replacement as well as shelf-life extension are some of the major concerns bakery manufacturers are dealing with today. Bakers use chemical leavening systems containing bicarbonate and acidifiers, e.g. phosphates, glucono-delta lactone (GDL) or coated organic acids. The use of phosphates is controversial since they are believed to cause many diseases and disorders, such as kidney stones, ADHD, etc. Phosphates containing aluminum like SALPs are not allowed in Europe anymore and the restriction is likely to be extended in other regions in the world. Galactic has developed effective solutions to address these concerns, including: ProDough Adagio F, Galimax Flavor K and Galimax Flavor TM V-100. Phosphate-free leavening ProDough Adagio F is a natural leavening acidifier solution specially designed for bakery applications. It is made of natural L (+) lactic acid obtained by fermentation. It is formed of small white crystals and with very good flowability. ProDough Adagio F helps control the activation of bicarbonate in leavening systems. Due to its structure, the activity of ProDough Adagio F can be accurately adjusted to several processes by controlling different parameters, such as time, temperature, concentration and water content. 8,50 7,50 6,50 Effect of temperature variation on the ph of 0.5% of ProDought Adagio F in runnig water 10 C 15 C 23 C 30 C 70 C ph 5,50 4,50 3,50 2,50 1,50 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 Time (minutes) CONFECTIONERY INDUSTRY 3
At low temperatures, the acidity release is slow while it is much faster at higher temperatures. Thus, the CO 2 release can be controlled by temperature, which can vary during different steps of the production process. ProDough Adagio F has no negative impact on taste and demonstrates excellent compatibility with all the other ingredients used in bakery products. ProDough Adagio F is equally effective in fresh, frozen, and ready-to-bake products. Advantages: y 100% natural y No phosphate y No sodium y No carrier y Allowed in organic products Eliminating SAPPs in chilled and bake-off cookies in order to reduce the sodium and phosphate content in the recipe is also a need in bakery products. ProDough Adagio F successfully replaces them; it enables the dough to rise even after freezing. The results of the sensory tests show that cookies have an enhanced chocolate flavour and are crunchier compared to the cookies containing SAPPs. Gluten-free The absence of gluten network in gluten-free bread often leads to a heterogeneous distribution of breadcrumb s pore size. By partially substituting the yeast (about 25%), ProDough Adagio F avoids this phenomenon and enables producers to obtain a much more homogeneous breadcrumb and a better structure.

Reduction in the salt content Sodium reduction is one of the major challenges for the bakery industry as salt does not only impact the taste, but also the structure of the products. Understanding this particular concern, Galactic has developed Galimax Flavor K, a range of clean-label solutions designed to reduce the salt content in bread with no impact on texture, volume and structure. Galactic s engineers have run tests using 0.25% of Galimax FlavorTM K reducing the salt content by 25% without impacting the organoleptic properties. When the salt content is reduced, gluten poorly develops and the bread loses volume. Galimax FlavorTM K enables manufacturers to reduce the salt content without losing volume. Results: Reference (with salt) Trial (with a 25% salt reduction + 0.25% Galimax Flavor K) The dosage of Galimax FlavorTM K may however fluctuate between 0.25 and 0.50% depending on the customer s recipe. Preservation against moulds Sodium propionate or calcium propionate are commonly used in bakery to inhibit moulds, but there is a growing concern about their negative effect on health. Propionates develop as well a cheesy-like smell in final baked goods. Galactic has developed Galimax FlavorTM V-100, a natural, highly soluble, buffered vinegar powder made by fermentation, which is very efficient to preserve bread and bakery products against fungal contamination.

There is no significant difference in the dough and crumb ph. The crust appearance and the structure shows no difference, while the smell of the bread is significantly improved (no cheesylike smell) in the sensory properties. Time-saving Yeast is regularly used in the production of breadcrumbs, which requires a waiting time for the dough to rise before baking. With ProDough Adagio F, in combination with carbonate, the waiting time is no longer needed, helping to substantially reduce the production time without losing the volume of the final product. Color control in bread crumbs B At different concentrations ProDough Adagio TM F can also control the color of ph dependent colorant, allowing the processor to standardize the final dry breadcrumbs color (from yellow to orange).
