Chemically-leavened Frozen Goods What are Chemically-leavened Frozen Goods? Chemically-leavened frozen goods are intermediate bakery products that instead of being baked after mixing and forming, undergo freezing or blast freezing. This is to extend their shelf-life and provide stability to key functional ingredients, allowing them to be shipped to distant markets. They encompass [...]
The frozen dough market is growing everyday and becoming more important for bakeries who offer “ready-to-proof” and “ready-to-bake” frozen dough for the production of a wide variety of products like par-baked, artisan bread and laminated products instead of baking from scratch. Freezing operations are key processes for frozen dough and frozen batter manufacturers. Freezing [...]
Packaging Temperature What is Packaging Temperature? Packaging temperature is the optimum temperature of a baked product which has just been cooled and sliced and is ready for placement in a protective bag or container. This temperature point or range are designed to ensure proper moisture level to avoid condensation, thus ensuring safety [...]
Process Design Also known as process development What is Process Design? Process design refers to the organization and configuration of food and chemical processes and manufacturing methods needed to transform/convert raw materials into finished products. Such processes are a sequence of events and steps directed to a specific result.1,2 Processes and manufacturing [...]
Frozen Dough Also known as freezing What is Frozen Dough? Frozen dough is regular dough pieces which have undergone freezing and frozen storage prior to proofing and baking steps. It is one of the fastest growing segments in the baking industry. This trend is driven by consumers' appetite for convenience and ability [...]
Blast Freezing What is blast freezing? Blast freezing is a rapid or short time thermal preservation technology commonly used in bakery and other food applications to extend the product’s shelf life and maintain its safety, physicochemical stability and freshness. Blast freezers blow very cold air (typically at -30°C and -50°C and high [...]
