The key aspect of fermentation is its unique ability to transform a given ingredient, creating wonderful flavours, textures and even colours. It opens the door to all kinds of product innovations. This natural process, in which microorganisms such as bacteria are used to break down the carbohydrates in food, can be customised by Zeelandia to meet your specific needs. By employing fermentation, we can create something exceptional that ticks all the right boxes from the consumers point of view. All without adding complexity to the bakery workflow.
The possibilities are endless
In a bakery context, the most well-known and established application of fermentation is the use of sourdough in bread-making. However, fermentation needn’t be restricted to flour and dough; it has the potential to transform any given ingredient. Take for example our fermented fruit and fermented malt product ranges. These help you to add flavour and texture to both bread and pastries. Think of fruits like strawberry, lemon or mango and different malts to add subtle bitterness or caramel sweetness to your baked good.
The consumer perspective
Consumers are looking for authentic and natural foods with fewer ingredients. Fermented food products tie in with that increased interest in natural production methods. So why not use it for a range of bakery products? Sourdough can be used to enhance flavour, texture and colour in muffins, buns, pastries, and even biscuits.
