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
Reducing or replacing eggs in bakery products can introduce various challenges, as eggs contribute critical functional properties such as structure, moisture, leavening, and flavor.

This course equips bakers with both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills for various filling types. From understanding ingredient interactions to controlling texture, stability, and flavor balance, this training is designed to help bakeries learn the techniques necessary to optimize these fillings for production.
