Keep your baked goods fresh with enzyme products. They maintain softness and resilience for longer than anything else on the market!
POWERFresh® products use either G4 (for buns and rolls) or new G+ enzymes (uniquely formulated for bread and specialties) to create powerful solutions that exceptionally delay staling in baked goods.
G+ enzyme technology is extraordinarily efficient at modifying starch during baking. This new amylase lowers the rate of amylopectin retrogradation, hence slowing the speed at which bread stales. The result is substantial crumb softening and moistness combined with improved resilience and elasticity.
Since proteins and arabinoxylans also contribute to the firming of breadcrumb, POWERFresh® products feature additional enzyme activities that optimize results for individual applications.

Stop making dry, brittle cookies… add an emulsifier to strengthen dough, and retain moisture!
Extend the shelf life of baked goods through starch complexing, and give baked and snack products the necessary functionality, without the trans fat, using one of our many emulsifier options. Whatever your application, we have the right emulsifier for you!
(Click here to check them out.)
Emulsifier Applications:
- - Bread manufacturers can improve their production through improved dough handling by using emulsifiers which interact with the gluten network
- - Emulsifiers stabilize the emulsion in low-fat spreads providing the right stability and mouthfeel and reduce spattering in frying margarine
- - Low-viscosity emulsifiers enable the use of precision liquid dosing systems in modern, highly automated industrial bakeries
- - Confectionery manufacturers can improve the cost efficiency of their production of chocolate and chocolate compounds by using emulsifiers to control the viscosity and thereby the loss of product during handling

Ready or not, fall has arrived! The crisp autumn air is a reminder that the holidays are quickly approaching… and so are the holiday treats!
Halloween candy is taking over grocery store shelves, and I can’t wait for pumpkin pie with flakey crust, hot apple cider, and Christmas cookies. This holiday season, consumers will treat their taste buds and their bodies with organic snacks and candies.
Here’s some sweet news: retail sales for specialty foods, including snacks and candy, rose 7.4 percent last year, well above the rate of inflation. Organic treats were a major contributor to increased sales, and 52 percent of consumers consider organic status an important factor when buying snacks and candy! (2011 State Of The Specialty Food Industry Report & Julie Besonen, “The New Post-Recession Consumer”, July 2011 issue of Specialty Food Magazine)
Are your sweets and snacks organic? ‘Tis the season to organically sweeten your treats; click here to check out some ideas to get started.
