Puratos Research Leads to Advanced Frostec Solutions
Frozen baking technology has made tremendous advances over the past few years. Bakers are now able to turn out higher volumes of finished product than ever. Still, the eternal problem exists: how to keep the fresh taste and texture in bread that's going to be frozen for an extended period of time.
To address that problem, it takes advanced scientific know-how - and years of expertise - to be able to produce advanced solutions for frozen bakery products. And only the depth of experience that the Puratos Research Center has in frozen bakery technology could produce the FROSTEC Solutions™ line. These innovative products help bakers duplicate "fresh-baked" flavor, crumb texture and crust, while extending freezer shelf life as well.
The key to the FROSTEC Solutions™ line of improvers is customization. Obviously, every recipe is slightly different; every piece of machinery, every production line is slightly different. Ingredients can vary. Even environmental variances can affect final product. The Puratos bakery scientists take each of those factors into account in developing a customized FROSTEC Solutions™ product for each customer's need. They work with the customer to come up with the precise combination of recipe, production and ingredients to ensure that frozen bread products retain fresh texture and flavor during an extended freezer shelf life.
For each of the four main frozen bread technologies - unfermented, pre-proofed frozen, par-baked and fully baked - there's a FROSTEC Solutions™ that addresses its inherent production challenges. For unfermented bread products, FROSTEC Solutions™ can extend freezer shelf life for up to 12 months. For pre-proofed frozen dough, extended freezer shelf life plus fast bake-off is now possible. Par-baked frozen products can also have fast bake-off response, with no retarder or proofer needed. FROSTEC Solutions™ gives fully baked frozen products the fast response and flexibility, with no skilled labor needed. Each FROSTEC Solutions™ product is individually designed to ensure that the flavor, crumb and texture of each loaf of bread, no matter how long it's frozen, tastes "just-out-of-the-oven" fresh.
The consistency of FROSTEC Solutions™ improvers means they can be depended upon to deliver the same high quality performance, time after time. That results in bottom-line cost savings. And their ease of use means they deliver time savings, too.
With more than 30 years' experience in frozen technologies, FROSTEC Solutions™ products are backed by the power of Puratos research and development facilities. The Puratos Research Center in Brussels, Belgium, and regional research centers in more than 25 countries have the expertise to help bakers keep those "fresh-baked" characteristics in their products - and that's the taste that means success.
