Bakery ingredients used for quality, shelf life

Published on 28 Oct, 2016

MATERIALS used in bakeries are known as bakery ingredients. They include bases (flours of various kinds), additives (emulsifying agents, sweeteners, etc.) and enhancers (gar- nishes, flavours, flavour enhancers, etc.). These ingredients improve protein content and aeration and help maintain the freshness of baked foods. Baked products include foods such as bread, biscuits, cookies, cakes, pizzas, pies, pastries, doughnuts, tarts and frozen baked products.
