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.
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.
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.
