Shelf Life 2.0 — Staling, Spoilage & Enzymes Every bakery product runs on three clocks: texture, microbiology and chemistry. In this 4-day course you learn which clock stops first in your product — and how to slow it down. We go deep into starch retrogradation and the enzymes that control it (maltogenic and intermediate-thermostable amylases, lipases, xylanases), combine them with water activity, pH, preservatives and clean-label alternatives, and finish with a shelf-life test plan for your own product. Practical work on bread and cake, using pre-aged samples so you measure staling during the course itself. Optional fifth day: shelf-life clinic for your own products. For R&D, NPD, application and QA professionals. Max. 8 participants.
This intensive and hands-on course is designed for experienced professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and skills in preparing various types of foam cakes
This course focuses on reformulating critical macro ingredients, such as sugar, fat, and sodium reduction and on enriching with healthier ingredients such as fibres and proteins enabling you to create bakery products for health-conscious options with minimal compromising on taste or quality.
Cookies & BiscuitsFrom crumbly shortbread to hard sheeted biscuits: understand why every dough type needs its own formulation, forming route and baking profile.

Includes an online pre-module and a take-home booklet.For production, R&D and application professionals. Max. 8 participants.
Reducing or replacing eggs in bakery products can introduce various challenges, as eggs contribute critical functional properties such as structure, moisture, leavening, and flavor. Troubleshooting issues related to egg reduction involves addressing concerns in texture, binding, leavening, flavor, moisture content, color, and structural integrity.
Why does the same recipe behave differently every flour delivery? In 4 days you learn to read flour specifications (farinograph, Falling Number, W-value), steer fermentation and dough development, and use enzymes, ascorbic acid and emulsifiers as targeted improvers. Bring your own flour and product: the final day is a troubleshooting clinic on your own raw materials.
