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.
Cookies & BiscuitsFrom crumbly shortbread to hard sheeted biscuits: understand why every dough type needs its own formulation, forming route and baking profile. In 4 hands-on days you work with rotary moulding, wire-cut and sheeting, run spread and formulation tests, learn to diagnose checking, spread and colour issues, and set — and reach — your own personal product target. 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.
