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.
