EDITORIAL
The fear of
not belonging
The business IT solution
for your entire enterprise
Society in the so-called industrialized countries
has developed a culture in which apparently
nothing is as bad as not belonging to it.
This exaggeration is exactly what tends to discredit many a sensible development. Social networks are a useful invention at a time when there
is a trend for families and other social organizations to disintegrate. On the other hand people
for whom home is now just somewhere to live, and
who no longer so much as glance at their partner
at mealtimes because their eyes are shackled to
their smartphone, can only be described as an anti­
social plague. Not to mention network operators
who unscrupulously exploit and manipulate their
customers.
Success is a
matter of system

Such developments also exist in the food sector.
Ever more people are trying to define themselves through their nutritional style,
and are happy to do so with great intolerance and irrelevance. Vegan diets are a
current topic in which this is clearly visible. Please don’t misunderstand me,
there are and always have been people who eat a vegan diet, whether for ethical,
religious or other reasons. This I respect. Nevertheless, what is now happening
and has been transformed into a religion, mainly by young women, is a veganism
that doesn’t eat cheese because the milk really belongs to the dear little calves, but
thoughtlessly accepts that the raw materials for the soya protein that is molded
into chickens are genetically modified and grown in Brazil in fields created by
rainforest clearance. On top of that, these manufactured hens contain large
amounts of additives and travel halfway round the world before ending up on the
shelf here as saviors of mankind.
Faster.
More reliable.
More productive.
Excesses such as this, driven by the fear of not belonging, also exist in our profession of information brokers, journalists and marketing specialists. Whether
digital or print – it doesn’t amount to a real contradiction even where it involves
reaching consumers. Still less where it’s a question of specialist information. No
manager, nor any line supervisor or person mixing dough grabs his/her smartphone every five minutes to see whether some message for bakers might have
popped up on Facebook. But in the morning or evening they read the current
online news service, visit specialist web sites if they are looking for particular
information, and use both printed and digital specialist magazines to gain an
overview of the latest technical and technological developments. Information
channels are interconnected, and more strategy and concept is needed to filter
out the right mixture. The fear of missing a trend is a bad counsellor in such
considerations.

CURRENT TOPICS
Common cause
The two oven builders Wachtel and Daub will make common cause in future when
+
© Daub
© Wachtel
it’s a question of the artisan market in the German-speaking countries.
++ Oliver Frey (left), executive director of Wachtel GmbH, and Günther Fliszar, executive director of Daub Backtechnik GmbH
What the Wachtel GmbH in Hilden near Düsseldorf
and Daub Backtechnik GmbH in Hamburg are entering
into is not an integration, it’s a sales cooperation, nothing
more but also nothing less. It extends to the offer of artisan
technology from both companies and further developments
accruing from it. Wachtel’s core product range are gas- and
oil-heated deck ovens that heat the product via hot gas circulation and also electrically heated deck ovens, rack ovens
and small deck and circulating air ovens for in-store baking.
On request everything can also be equipped with an energy-­
saving infra-red ceramic coating. Daub’s contribution to the
cooperation comprises trolley and deck ovens, both heated
by thermo-oil.
The enumeration already shows that what is involved here for
both partners is mainly an extension of their product range.
However, other cooperation strategies are also conceivable in
addition to the joint appearance of the sales team in the market.
Daub currently builds its oven loading technology itself, while
Wachtel has it built by HEWA (Hein-Wachtel), a company
founded by Wachtel jointly with Clemens Scherzinger in 2012.
Since Daub’s production facility in Hamburg, which also
serves the industry market via the Kaak parent company, is
well utilized, collaboration in loader construction could arise
on a case by case basis. There will also quite certainly be cooperation in the development of data exchange and controllers.
Collaboration on the subject of proofing technology and refrigeration will probably turn out to be on more of a case by
case basis. Wachtel has built its own proofing and refrigeration plants since 2006, and Daub works largely with external
suppliers on the subject of refrigeration. Today, as in the future,
each of the two companies will provide service for the products it supplies, using its own specialists, although here again
common ground should be possible on a case by case basis.
However, the core of the cooperation is the joint sales team
for the whole of the German-speaking countries, which will
consist in future of 12 salespeople from Wachtel, two salespeople from Daub and three key account managers from
Wachtel, and will appear under the logo “Daub+Wachtel,
Best Solution Partners”.
As executive director Oliver Frey explains, the benefit for
Wachtel lies mainly in the enlargement of their product range.
As a rule customers decide in favor of one heating system –
gas heating or thermo-oil – but thermo-oil fans also need rack
ovens, in-store ovens and refrigeration. According to their
executive director Günther Fliszar, Daub in turn benefits not
only from the bigger sales team but also from the fact that in
future, with a 12-deck oven from Hamburg, this team will be
able to offer a solution even if the space is insufficient for a
bigger oven battery.
According to both companies, the customer benefits from
the fact that when choosing an oven he is offered the entire
spectrum of technological possibilities from a single supplier.
Fliszar says: “Ultimately the technologies are complementary,
and competition between the systems is eliminated by the
joint sales function. The advice can be flexible and can be
oriented to the need on the spot.” According to Frey, “For us,
correspondingly fairer and higher-quality treatment of the
customer was a precondition for the cooperation,” and he says
that also holds true for service. Both companies maintain
their own service teams, which are personally contactable 24/7,
and there are no exceptions to this on the map of the three
DACH countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) either.
In any event the basis for the success of the common interest
does exist. The combined turnover of Wachtel GmbH and Daub
Backofenbau GmbH in 2014 was more than EUR 46m. The
DACH region accounts for more than half of sales in both
companies. Whether the sales cooperation will also be extended
to other countries will be decided only in a second step. +++

nationally operating Le Duff Group, the biggest corporate group
worldwide in the café and bakery concepts area, has annual
earnings of around EUR 1.5bn with more than 27,000 employees and operates in 80 countries on five continents. +++
The French group Nactis Flavours in Bondoufle, a manufacturer of flavors and “functional Ingredients”, has taken over
the Belgium-based Savoury division of the Robertet Group
in Grasse. Robertet Savoury specializes in “transformation
flavors” (e.g. the Maillard flavors) and hydrolyzed vegetable
proteins. The company employs a workforce of 54 and had
sales of EUR 14m in 2014. Nactis Flavours employs 200 staff
and its turnover in 2014 was EUR 40m, of which 26 % was on
the international market. +++
++ Aryzta buys Pré Pain
Aryzta has taken over Pré Pain BV headquartered in Oldenzaal, the Netherlands, a supplier of frozen baked goods for
retail baking stations. Pré Pain was founded around 20 years
ago by Ten Veldhuis and Maurice Hansté. Subsequently they
took over the traditional business Smithuis Bakkerijen, also
based in Oldenzaal, which concentrates mainly on the domestic market. Production capacities were expanded several
times, most recently in 2011. A fire in 2013 destroyed parts
of the production unit. In November 2014 Dutch newspapers
reported the takeover of Bakkerij Smithuis by Bakkerij Faber,
a retail supplier in Hoogeveen. The latest estimate of Pré
Pain’s turnover was around EUR 75m.

The American donut chain Dunkin’ Donuts together with
nine franchise partners has opened 22 additional locations
in Germany in the past year, and now has a total of 60. It is
said that in future they plan to focus more on the coffee
range, and also to open locations with seating. The turnover
of Dunkin’ Donuts in Germany in 2014 was EUR 24.3m, and
a rise to EUR 32.5m is forecast for 2015. +++

++ The French group Le Duff is buying Kamps
The Le Duff Group, headquartered in Rennes, France, and
operating internationally, is acquiring the majority of the
shares in Kamps GmbH, Schwalmtal, from German Equity
Partners III (GEP III), a fund managed by the German holding
company ECM Equity Capital Management (ECM), and intends
to use it to expand the business in the German quick-­s ervice
and bakery markets. The management team led by Kamps’
CEO Jaap Schalken is again participating in the context of
the planned transaction, and also intends to accompany the
development of the business in the future. The deal is still
subject to approval by the relevant competition authorities.
The purchase price and other details of the deal were covered
by a secrecy agreement. Kamps is one of the best-known
brands in the German bakery market. Measured by the number
of enterprises, the company is one of Germany’s leading bakeries
and is among the top ten suppliers in the quick-­service catering
business. With around 450 employees, the company achieved
external sales of more than EUR 200 m in 2014. The inter­­www.bakingbiscuit.com 02/2015

Aryzta intends to acquire a holding in the French frozen
food supplier Picard. Picard produces itself and also deals in
bought-in goods. It sells to the catering trade through 900
markets in France, Italy and Belgium and also via HGV deliveries. According to its own statement, Aryzta plans to buy
a 49 % share in Picard for EUR 446.6m. It says the company
is in exclusive negotiations with the current owner, the finan­
cial investor Lion Capital. It also says the agreement contains
an option to acquire the remaining shares in the coming three
to five years. However, the deal still needs the approval by
the relevant competition authorities and the Works Council.
According to the Lebensmittel Zeitung newspaper, Picard is
number one in the frozen food market in France, with an annual turnover of EUR 1.4bn. +++

for the 21 st time in Moscow
The 21 st Modern Bakery international
trade fair will again take place at its traditional venue, the Expocenter site in
Moscow, Russia, from 22nd to 24th April
2015. Last year – on the trade fair’s 20 th
anniversary – more than 15,000 specialists
from the bakery and confectionery sector
from 43 countries visited the event. In
addition to a wide range of baking ingredients, the exhibition’s program will also include machinery and lines to produce baked goods. Traditionally the trade fair exhibitors
come from Germany, Italy, Turkey, Sweden, Spain, Portugal,
the Czech Republic and Austria, among other places. Russian
companies such as Russkaya Trapeza, Tauras-Fenix, Voskhod,
Shebekinskiy Machine Engineering Plant and SEMZ will
also be represented. Since July last year the organization of
the Modern Bakery trade fair has been the responsibility of
the Frankfurt Trade Fair GmbH, Frankfurt/Main, which until
now still shared the tasks with the previous organizer, the
OWP OST-West-Partner GmbH in Nuremberg. +++

++ Heuft takes over iceCool
... and invests in Austria
The thermo-oil oven specialist Karl Heuft GmbH in Bell, Germany, is taking over the refrigeration and air-conditioning
engineering company iceCool GmbH & Co. KG in Hückelhoven (formerly Paulus Kältetechnik GmbH & Co. KG). IceCool’s product portfolio ranges from fully- and semi-automatic
proofers, fermentation rooms, blast freezers, deep-freeze
storage cells, cold storage cells, workroom cooling systems
and workroom air-conditioning to confectionery lines and
cabinet systems. IceCool in its present form was founded in
2009 by Martin and Mannes Danneberg together with Ulrich
Nachtmann. Ulrich Nachtmann (50) will also continue to
manage the businesses and the 15 employees in Hückelhoven.
CEO Thomas Heuft justifies the takeover as a strategic supple­
mentation of the two product ranges – oven and refrigeration
construction – and announced support for IceCool in export
markets wherever Heuft has until now operated without another refrigeration partner. +++
Lidl’s capital investment program in Austria in 2013 was
EUR 70m, in 2014 it was EUR 100m, and EUR 100 m is again
planned for this year, plus another EUR 60m for the third
­r egional warehouse being built in Wundschuh in Styria.
­A lexander Deopito, head of Lidl in Austria, announced this
to the Tiroler Tageszeitung online newspaper. The plan is
then to bring all branches up to the state of the art by late
2016. More than 30 different varieties of bread and baked
products are baked off in Lidl bakery shops every day. In the
evening the first batch is loaded into the oven, which then
starts automatically to ensure the first rolls are ready on
time. According to Deopito, the proportion of Austrian
products in Lidl branches has now risen to 30 %. +++
++ Lantmännen plans to take over Vaasan
The Swedish agricultural products group Lantmännen has
announced that it intends to take over the Finnish bakery
group Vaasan. Up to now Lantmännen held 8 % of the Finnish
group’s share capital, the remainder belonging to the private
equity group Lion Capital, which entered in 2007. Vaasan’s
turnover at that time was EUR 334m, and today it is around
EUR 415m. Alongside Fazer, Vaasan is Finland’s second biggest manufacturer of fresh and frozen baked goods, and together with its subsidiaries AS Leibur in Tallin, A/S Hanzas
Maiznicas in Riga and UAB Viniaus Duona in Vilnius it controls large fractions of the Baltic baked products market.
Vaasan trades internationally with the Finn Crisp brand.
Lantmännen is one of Scandinavia’s biggest corporate groups.
It is owned by a cooperative of 32,000 Swedish farmers, and
focuses its agricultural activities on three key points: farming,
energy and food.
The latter includes Lantmännen Cerealia mills, the frozen
baked products manufacturer Lantmännen Unibake and the
dog food specialist Lantmännen Doggy. The Lantmännen
Group’s turnover in 2013 was EUR 3.6bn. Figures for 2014
are not yet available. However, for the first eight months of
2014 the Interim Report already states an earnings improvement by almost 100 %, although this would be attributable
to the sale of seed and plant-breeding operations in Poland
and Germany, among other things. Without these special
effects the return would have been at the level of the pre­
vious year. The baked products manufacturer Lantmännen
Unibake reported sales growths in the UK, Poland, Russia
and Finland. +++
++ Lidl builds Europe’s biggest distribution center
Lidl intends to build Europe’s biggest distribution center in
Alcalá de Henares near the Spanish capital of Madrid. It plans
to supply around 150 markets from the 71,800 m2 warehouse.
Installation of the entire hi-tech warehouse is expected to be
complete by spring 2017. The total investment is around EUR
70m. Lidl currently operates a total of 530 markets in Spain.

++ Vandemoortele takes the lead in the Italian frozen
baked products market
Supermarkets, and their baking stations in the northern half
of Italy are recording a steady flow of trade. In the past, frozen
raw and pre-baked dough pieces were supplied from Spain,
France and Eastern Europe. Up to now Italian suppliers have
ranked, if anywhere, among the regional and medium-sized
businesses. However, the merger of Agritech and Lanterna
Alimentari Genova in 2013 created Italy’s first major supplier, LAG SpA, headquartered in Genoa. LAG has now been
taken over by the Belgian group Vandemoortele.
Founded in 1996 as a family business, Lanterna Alimentari
Genova took over Reno, a small frozen bread manufacturer
in Padua, in 2009 and sold its own subsidiary Boulangerie
Europe in France to BCS, now part of the Neuhauser Group,
which was in turn recently acquired by the Soufflet milling
group. Lanterna itself, now owned by an investor group, produces mainly the local specialty focaccia in its Genoa works,
together with pizzas and piadina (wraps). The initial approaches to collaboration with Agritech, a frozen baked products manufacturer in Ravenna that operates another works
in Giulianova, began in 2012. By 2013 these had progressed
to the point where LAG SpA was formed from the two companies by a so-called “merger by acquisition”. Today the group
owns four sites with a total of 14 production lines, four of
which produce focaccia and pizzas, also including the branded
product Pizza Gegé. All the others yield a wide selection of
specialty breads, mainly Italian, but also French bread for
example. Combined annual production volume is around
80,000 t. Until now Lanterna focused mainly on the food retail as a client, and as well as focaccia and pizzas it also supplied chiefly regional specialties for large and small retail groups.
Agritech concentrated on food service. When brought together in LAG, 60–70 % of sales in Italy are accounted for by
retail clients and 30–40 % by food service. LAG achieved annual sales in 2013 of EUR 87m, of which around 10 % originates from exports. Vandemoortele concentrates on two core
businesses, frozen baked products together with margarine
and fats. Total turnover in 2013 was EUR 1.3bn. The Group
is represented by its own distribution and/or production
sites in 12 European countries. Completion of the purchase
of LAG is scheduled for late 2015. +++

Chorleywood 2.0
Benier turns the modified ECS Chorleywood mixer into a success story par excellence.
The Chorleywood process
The Chorleywood process was developed in Great
Britain in the nineteen-sixties. It involved producing
dough in a few minutes in so-called Tweedy high-speed
mixers. “Mixing energy” was also used for the first
time as a measure to assess the mixing operation. The
Chorleywood process assumes 11 kWh/t of dough. In
comparison, a spiral mixer achieves a developed dough
with 15 kWh/t. Chorleywood mixers can also be ope­
rated under pressure or vacuum. Pressure is applied to
the mixer as required in the first phase of the process,
which incorporates an increased amount of oxygen
into the dough. Vacuum is applied in the second phase,
causing the gas bubbles expand and be fragmented by
the mixer, resulting finally at normal pressure in the
formation of the small-pore, fluffy crumb pattern that
is expected mainly for sandwich toast-bread.
Three years ago Benier in ’s-Hertogenbosch acquired not
only the license but also the freedom to bring the mechanical
engineering of this rather outdated mixer up to state-of-theart. The Dutch engineers seized the opportunity, and the market
has responded with the current total of 17 new installations,
many of them twin models.
Almost everything else on the high-speed mixer apart from
the operating principle was modified. To call it a mixer is in
any case rather an understatement, because its area of work
includes the operating steps from metering and mixing to
the precisely controlled development of the dough. A decisive
factor in all of this is active temperature control across all

++ Weighing out raw materials and transferring them to the mixer
Exactly three years ago the Kaak subsidiary Benier
­acquired a license to build ECS’s “Chorleywood” mixer
and to market it worldwide. This mixer, which can operate
under vacuum and pressure and is thus predestined for the
so-called Chorleywood process to produce dough for toast,
buns and soft breads, was developed about 20 years ago by
the New Zealand company ECS, which installed around 30 of
them worldwide.

the stages. The initial temperatures of all the ingredients are
recorded and the water temperature is regulated accordingly.
The solid and liquid components are metered into two holding hoppers while the previous dough is being mixed in the
mixing bowl underneath within around four minutes. With
a dough batch of up to 400 kg, emptying and filling the mixing
bowl takes less than two minutes. Control is fully automatic,
via either time or energy uptake.
The cleaning and maintenance principles are also entirely
new. The exterior of the whole mixer is washable, although
not with a high-pressure cleaner. A CIP cleaning ring with two
nozzles connected to a high-pressure hose can be positioned

by hand between the bowl and lid, and within five to six
minutes the bowl is clean and emptied through a bottom
drain. The filters leading to the vacuum pump can be removed
easily and cleaned externally. The weighing machines for
solid and liquid components are calibrated automatically at
regular intervals in three phases using different weights.
The mixer’s main bearing is subjected to practically constant
maximum loading, so wear is an everyday occurrence. As a
rule in the past maintenance and replacement were costly
and time-consuming, which caused downtime. Benier has
completely redesigned the bearing. Access is easy: bolts out,
special tool applied, and the conically tapering axle is already free. The bearing seals are equally simple to replace, so
no dough water can penetrate into the bearing. In addition
to that, the main bearing is doubly protected by a kind of
upstream gate. Benier gives a two-year warranty on the
bearing’s lifetime.

The mixer’s drive system is also a real muscleman, and develops heat corresponding to the loading. A glycol-cooled
air circulation ensures that the frequency converter controlled
drive remains operational at all times. On top of that the
­motor is pleasingly quiet, and develops a maximum of 72 dB
of noise.
On request the capacity of the MDD 200
can also be enlarged to 225 kg of flour and

Exciting features of the new design include not only the various
detailed changes but also the possible applications. According
to Stefan Jonkers, Product Manager Mixers at Benier: “This
process can produce toast and sandwich breads even without
pre-proofing. After the mixing process the dough is put directly into pans in the 4-pieces method and baked. Not only
has this been tested at the college in Wageningen, it is now
the state of the art at a few customers.” +++

INTERVIEW
Organization is more important
than Technology
The Markel Group has been expanding into Europe’s bakery equipment industry since 2012.
Markel CEO Ken Newsome talked about the state of affairs.
+ Keil: Is there a demand from the market for this kind of
combination?
+ Newsome: End consumers are demanding a greater variety
of products, and the taste of change for these products is increasing. So customers need to be able to leverage the core
mixing, make-up, baking and cooling technologies to make
a wider variety of products.

++ Ken Newsome, CEO of Markel Group
Keil: The Markel Group took over Reading and Tromp
Bakery Equipment in 2012. At the end of 2014 you also
took over the oven company Den Boer and Van der Pol, known
for its waffle systems. What was the reason?
+ Newsome: The Tromp Group has always been a combination of Tromp Bakery Equipment, Den Boer and Van der Pol.
We took over both at the end of 2014. They were historically
independent companies and traded independently. Now that
they are combined, it just eliminates all of the challenges you
have in companies with a different ownership. We are now
all pulling in the same direction with one common goal. That
will make the growth of the group a significant issue. Within
the Markel bakery group we use the word conversion to describe how customer demands in our group’s technology are
brought together to create new and more flexible solutions.
+ Keil: Can you give me an example?
+ Newsome: The biggest example is that Reading bakery
systems, which is one of the largest suppliers of continuous
mixers to the baking industry, had never supplied any mixers
into the bread and bun sector, and now we have a continuous
mixer going into a McDonald’s production system. We have
already sold lines that integrated Tromp make-up equipment
with the AMF make-up equipment, whether it is making
­b aguettes on the same line as traditional tin bread, or buns
on the same line that makes tin bread, as well as a specially
sheeted swirled bread, like cinnamon swirls.
www.bakingbiscuit.com 02/2015
+ Keil: Are these customers mostly in the US, in Europe or
anywhere else?
+ Newsome: All over the place. Historically Tromp has never
had representations in the Middle East or Latin America,
and because of AMF relationships we sold Tromp equipment
into those areas. Likewise Reading had no success in China,
and through the AMF relationships we are now much more
proactive in China. Both Reading and Tromp are using the
Markel manufacturing facility in Tianjin to bring lower cost
solutions into that Asia-Pacific region. AMF has been producing in China for at least eight years.
+ Keil: Is Reading’s Exact mixer, which is sold to McDonald’s,
the only one that produces dough for bread and buns?
+ Newsome: Through the mature relationship there is actually another continuous mixer being sold for a burger bun
application. We have the first unit going into a high speed
» End consumers are demanding a greater
variety of products, and the taste of change
for these products is increasing «
bun operation being installed this summer. At the iba we will
put a lot of focus on that bun installation and on the Exact
mixing for the bun process.
+ Keil: AMF customers come mostly from the bread and
bun industry. Reading sells to producers of baked snacks,
and Tromp Group equipment is made for waffles, specialty
breads, pizza, cake & pie and pastry. Can you target the
­European style bread industry with this portfolio?
+ Newsome: Yes, part of the next phase of growth for us is
to take the knowledge that Tromp has and the increased infrastructure in Europe in order to be able to make more the
European type bread. We continue to evolve our technology
to be able to make those kinds of products.
+ Keil: Will this be a development at the Tromp-Group, or
will you buy in other companies?
INTERVIEW
+ Newsome: If you look at traditional soft white bread, it is
a declining market, and if you look at the assortment of traditional 4 inch hamburger buns, it is also a decreasing share
of the market. The traditional white bread and bun are being
pulled more into specialty products, just given the dynamics
of the new markets. So as a result AMF must continue to
adapt its core technology to be able to make more and more
of these specialty products. For instance the bread divider
now is far more gentle and a far lower pressure divider than
we ever had in the past. That’s all about helping bakers to
» We keep focusing on trying to be
the most excellent company in this
industry «
bake a range of products from soft white bread up to more
dense bread that has all the ingredients like grains or raisins
etc., which makes a bread a specialty. For instance we are now
able to make a Ciabatta type product on our dividers and
there is a Brioche type of bun that the system has approved
to make for McDonald’s.
+ Keil: Do you want these development to be an internal
thing by sharing between the companies, or is it something
you want to bring in from outside?
+ Newsome: Our focus now is to take the technology and the
organization we have and make sure that we have excellence
in what we do. You know that we are not particularly focused
on growth and we don’t set growth targets. Our focus is on
excellence, because we believe in excellence. Growth is the
result of excellence, but if you focus on growth for growth’s
sake you may not have an excellent company. As we always
have historically, we will develop technology where it makes
sense to develop the technology and we will acquire companies where the acquisition makes sense. That has been our
strategy for nearly 20 years and it will continue to be our
strategy going forward. And we are fortunate with Markel
and this makes us different from any other company in our
industry because of the capital that they can provide. We
have the ability to invest as we need to invest, and given their
long term view we always focus on doing the things that
make sense over the next ten, twenty years. That’s why we
keep focusing on trying to be the most excellent company in
this industry, and we will continue to acquire new companies
as opportunities arrive.
+ Keil: What are now the most important markets for the
group, USA, EU, or emerging markets?
+ Newsome: We have offices in every region of the world,
and so there is a team of people in every region, where for
them their region is the most important region. We believe
that obviously our base markets are in North America and
Europe, just given our history, but yes, they are all mature
markets and we believe that the bulk of our growth is going
to come from other markets. If you look at world demo­
graphy there is an explosion of the middle class all around
the world, and history has shown that if the people have
more disposable income then better quality and more variety
of food are the things they tend to focus on first. With the
bread offering between AMF, Reading and Tromp Group we
are able to impact almost all of the areas in the baked goods
aisle, so we need to be physically present in these major regions.
Not just sales people but also project management, service
and local manufacturing so that we can be relevant in every
region of the world. We won’t be successful over the next
20 years without a meaningful presence in every region of
the world. We range from offices with three people all the
way to full manufacturing sites in Tianjin in China.
+ Keil: Do you also already have a production facility in
Latin America?
+ Newsome: We do not, that is really the next area we have
been exploring. It has been there for a couple of years. Our
challenge is that in any deal, the picture of the organization
is more important than the company’s technology. And so
our challenge is not just to find technology that fits us but
also values that fit with our values in terms of quality of
products, service and the way we deal with our people, the
way we treat our customers. We realize that values must
come first and therefore we are really careful before we step
into new areas. That is a lesson that is often learned the hard
way.
+ Keil: Companies differ, and every company is on its own.
Does the same style of philosophy necessarily bring them
closer together, or is there a need for more integration?
+ Newsome: The history of our industry has shown more
failure with consolidation than success through consoli­
dation. I will keep the companies more independent than some
outsiders might understand, because my concern is that with
consolidation comes bureaucracy and the companies begin
to slow down, become less responsive and less flexible. We
can never allow this in our company.
» We realize that values must come first
and therefore we are really careful before
we step into new areas «
We will encourage a common culture and a common business
approach, we refer to this as the Markel way. It is a business
system that involves strategy in long range terms. The commonality approach is that the management in the companies
embrace the Markel way. We share sales operations around
the world and manufacturing sites, as in China. We will work
closely as members of the same company but we will always
keep that independence so that we keep the clear focus. For
AMF on the bread and bun segment, for Reading on the
­specialties and baked snacks, and for Tromp for more specialties and enjoyment items. But we must also make sure
that every time we do an installation together we are not
­perceived as three individual companies. Normally one of them
takes the leadership of the project. This must be achieved

INTERVIEW
without losing the flexibility and responsiveness of the individual companies.
+ Keil: Does the economic crisis make it less possible or less
easy to organize cooperation between the companies?
+ Newsome: This leads back to the Markel Philosophy.
None of our companies has debts, so we are able to take the
ups and downs of the industry in ways impossible for smaller
companies that don’t have the mass and for companies with
a lot of debts that don’t have the flexibility. The good news
for Tromp, which is the smallest of our companies, is that because of the relationship they didn’t previously have around
» Our focus is on the baking process,
­converting all the ingredients into a final
product, and on packaging «
the world, they now are able to sell in new markets, and the
same goes for Reading. Both are selling into areas in which
they never sold before and where there is growth for these
companies because of market expansion. And AMF can offer
combined lines that combine traditional tin bread and specialties. That helps AMF to secure its business because we are
able to offer an integrated solution where others can’t, and to
make offers which it couldn’t do in the past without this cooperation. There are a lot of things we are doing internally,
enabling us to grow regardless of the global economy. The
bigger issue is that because Markel isn’t taking on any debt in
these acquisitions, our focus is to continue to do the right
thing year after year. All of these businesses are going to have
some elements of an order cycle, that’s the nature of our
business. The bigger the order becomes, the bigger the cycle
becomes.
+ Keil: What is the consolidated turnover of the group?
+ Newsome: That’s private information and we don’t like to
talk about size. Nobody wants to buy from the biggest company, only from the best one. So we need to focus on best
technology, best service, best innovation and best value.
+  Keil:
There are still some blank spots in your product
assort­ment, for example ingredients handling or conveying
systems? Are you looking to fill these by acquisition?
+ Newsome: In terms of conveying systems, I think all of
our businesses have conveying systems and integrated lines
all include conveying. So that is not a gap. You are right about
ingredients handling, but I think that is not a part of the bakery
process, even when it is in a bakery. In a continuous mixer we
do control all the dosing, so this part is integrated. Our focus
today is on the baking process, converting all the ingredients
into a final product, and on packaging.
+ Keil: Mr. Newsome, many thanks for this interview. +++

++ Private label share by country (volume)
At the conference Filipe Oliveira, an analyst with the
Euromonitor International market research group, gave
a figure of USD 586.7bn for worldwide private label turnover
in 2013. He said 93 % of this is sold in the developed markets
of industrialized countries, 60 % in Western Europe alone. In
value terms, the largest retail market share among so-called
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) in Western Europe
is in the paper and hygiene product range. Packaged foods
are in second place with a 26 % market share.
However, the situations in the individual countries look very
different. The share held by private labels reaches the biggest
proportion by volume in Europe, 53 %, in Switzerland due to
the dominance of the two retail groups Migros and Coop
across all the commodity groups, whereas the figure for the
private labels share across all commodity groups in Germany
is 44 %. ACNielsen observed the largest percentage market
share increases in 2013 in Sweden at +5.1 % to a market share
www.bakingbiscuit.com 02/2015
of 31 %, in Finland at 4 % to 33 %, in Poland at 3.1 %, again to
33 %, and in Slovakia at 2.7 %, once again to a 33 % market
share in volume terms.
According to Euromonitor, in value terms Switzerland is the
only country where private labels have a market share above
30 %, whereas the private labels market share in Germany is
below 30 % (see Graph). In contrast to Switzerland, however,
growth in the private labels business has almost come to a
standstill in Germany in the past few years. On the other
hand there is double-digit market growth in Spain, Portugal,
Italy and Greece, while in Turkey it has almost doubled from
2009 to 2013, albeit on a very small base.
As well as the macroeconomic situation, and the growing
importance of major retail organizations and disappearance
of unorganized independent retailers, consumer confidence
in private brands is also contributing to their growth. Private

++ Private labels as a proportion of sales in the various product ranges in Western Europe
brands gained a foothold even in the organic range long ago. The selection of
products is being brought to the attention of increasing numbers of customers
through the major chains, and their prices are frequently also more acceptable.
In Austria the private brands’ share in value terms in the organic range of products
(packaged goods only) in the food retail in 2014 was already 57 %, and 36 % in
the UK, whereas in this country (Germany) it is only just 29 %.

An aspect that is still relatively new in the “private label” market is the drive by
retails groups to export their own brands. The British group has already made
great progress, with exports to 43 countries. The British frozen products retailer
Iceland began in 2012 with exports to the Middle East and South Africa. The
Portuguese retail group Continente exported its own brands to Thailand for the
first time in 2013.
The establishment of so-called “premium private label brands” is also only a few
years old, e.g. “Migros Selection”, “Rewe Feine Welt”, “Premium N” at Netto,
“Feine Kost” at Penny, “Deluxe “ at Lidl or “Gourmet” at Aldi, which are heavily
advertised mainly before festivals and public holidays, and have led to sales
growth at least among the discounters. On the other hand Edeka has now dis­
continued its “Selection” range due to lack of success, and Real has also reduced
the breadth of its “Selection” product range again.
Pan-Dough Interface Temp & Bread Core Temp
Something brand-new right now is the use of a company’s private label brand in
entirely new fields, as Lidl is currently testing in a pop-up outlet in Brick Lane
in East London. A restaurant opened there for a short time, also called “Deluxe”
like the discounter’s premium private label brands. However, whether it will turn
into a trend is still uncertain. +++

PRODUCTION
Basic dough production
Staff of the Grobe Bakery in Dortmund use the artisan version of the ahk-Rapidojet to produce

basic doughs. This has increased dough yields and the quality of the baked products.
+
++ The basic dough: An employee scrapes the bowl and adds the remaining ingredients such as yeast, seeds or baking agent
Good results
The line was tested for around a week by the employees of
the bakery’s managing partner, Jürgen Hinkelmann, who says
“After a short time we already knew we had really good results.”
This means the dough producers have more time nowadays,
because doughs made from basic dough are more stable and
there is practically no longer any dough heating. For example
there is no longer any need to add flake ice. According to
Hinkelmann the volume of the baked products has also increased and its shelf life has improved. Production manager
Teterra confirms that it has been possible to increase the
yields of all doughs by five to eight percentage points.
The artisan version of the ahk-Rapidojet, made by ahk
service & solutions GmbH, Schwaigern, has been in use
in the production unit of the Master Baker Grobe GmbH &
Co. KG since early 2014. Nowadays production manager Tim
Teterra and his bakery staff numbering around 80 use this
line to manufacture basic dough for almost all their baked
products. Teterra explains that “a basic dough for rye mixed
bread, i.e. 70 % rye flour and 30 % wheat flour, can still be run
through the line. Our experiments have shown that a higher
proportion of rye flour reduces the baked product’s volume.”
Basic dough production consists of using the Rapidojet process to mix flour and water. The system does this by using a
high pressure water jet to wet the flour in free fall, thus forming the basic dough. The Grobe Bakery meters the dough directly into a mixing bowl. Next an employee adds the remaining ingredients such as yeast, salt, fat, seeds, sourdough
or baking agent to the basic dough and completes the kneading in an “ordinary” mixer. Production manager Teterra says
“Depending on the recipe, we mix the basic dough for a further approx. three minutes at the spiral mixer’s high speed.”
The dough is then processed further in the usual way.
++ A spiral mixer does the final dough kneading at high speed for
around three minutes

Around 80 % of the breads in the bakery are made up by hand,
but there have been no problems with the higher dough
yields even when making up using the existing lines. However,
the doughs must be processed very carefully when using the
basic dough method. For example it was necessary to readjust
the Rapidojet when changing over to the new harvest in
2014. The doughs also have less proofing tolerance, and
post-mixing times must also be adhered to accurately. Jürgen
Hinkelmann says “It’s a living dough, you see, and needs a

certain amount of courage as well.” He says
the staff had to become accustomed to the
method first of all. According to master
baker Hinkelmann: “We introduced the new
mixing process for the products step by
step because we had to reorganize the production procedure, and the new mixing
method has a decisive effect on the finished baked products.” Customers also noticed a change in the baked goods. For example the new methods impaired the sliceability of the breads. Production manager
Tim Teterra says “The solution was to op­
timize the baking process and to extend it
slightly. We also reduced the amount of yeast
we used by 30 %.” The bakery has certainly
succeeded in raising the quality of the baked
products by using new technology, knowhow and experiments. +++

CONGRESS
Bread: Innovation & Creativity
in the Digital Consumer Age
+
XXXIV AIBI Congress Athens, 4–7 June 2015
The global digital agenda and the increasing “on-line”
marketing and sales channels are reshaping the consumer landscape for food including bakery products at an
unprecedented speed. The AIBI Congress offers an opportunity and will analyse the key impacts of the digital agenda
which may offer new opportunities and challenges for the
bakery sector.
Following a RABOBANK Report (June 2014) on online grocery shopping it is predicted that fundamental changes for
players along the supply chain – from processors to retailers
– will arrive sooner than later. This means exploiting opportunities and tackling challenges to secure “on-screen” visibility and to make sure that products are “online-proof ”.
Online retail channels provide opportunities not previously
tested in the grocery sector. With no limitations on shelf
space the traditional market entry barriers including risk of
delisting products are reduced. Products in premium segments or other added value food categories could potentially
benefit from lowering Market entry levels.
However the food industry in general and industrial bakeries may not be fully prepared yet to tackle inherent challenges linked to the digital agenda and on-line marketing channels preventing them from seizing the new opportunities of
the digital online revolution.
These opportunities should not only be looked from the
business angle but also need to be analysed from the consumer perspective seeking wider access to the best offers and
new products triggered by the possibility to get product information online. Here the “lifelong learning” concept for
digital skills and access to digital and open resources may a
crucial stepping stone to realise the full consumer potential.
The congress will not only explore the relations of business
to consumers (B to C) but also B to B where new digital developments can improve the communication and cooperation among bakery chain partners.

area is to put unpacked and packed croissants into the feeder
leading to the packing unit. The spider-like robots are even
in demand in the waffle industry when it is a question of
flexibility in relation to a variety of delicate “bare” and packed
products when filling blister packs. Marc de Vries, sales
manager at Bosch Packaging Technology SA, says: “The
strength of this technique lies in its flexibility. The knowhow is located mainly in the software and gripper technology.
We offer a range of more than 2,000 different gripper variants.”
Grippers that actually grasp are rather the exception in this
respect. Products are very ­often lifted by generating a vacuum.
Special gripper techno­logies are used for products decorated
with sugar icing (frosting), preserve or chocolate, where
there is a risk that the de­coration will disappear if they are
gripped too firmly. In this case the lifting is carried out for

++ One of the classic application areas for delta robots is picking up
and positioning products in primary packaging
+
Delta robots are parallel-kinematic robots with up to
five degrees of freedom. Based on flexible automation
technology, they can grip and handle products, and latterly
they have four or optionally even five axes. Delta robots were
invented in the early nineteen-eighties by a team led by Prof.
Reymond Clavel at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
in Lausanne (EPFL: École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) and launched onto the market in 1987 by
the Demaurex company, now Bosch Packaging
Technology SA. This company, headquartered in Romanel-­sur-Lausanne, Switzerland,
where development is continuing, has belonged to the “Food und Confectionery”
product division of Bosch Packaging Technology since 2004. The robots are manufactured in Romanel, the USA and Japan.
The first application of delta robots was in
the baked products industry in 1992. Six of
the new robots packed a major Swiss baked
goods manufacturer’s pretzels into blister
trays. In France they are even used to pack
www.bakingbiscuit.com 02/2015
example by bells, and although the product is lifted by a
stream of air, direct contact with the decoration is avoided.
Products with a high oil or fat content are also not picked up
in the usual way by a centrally generated vacuum, but by
pumps in the gripper creating a negative pressure (venturi
­effect). In this way the oils and fats cannot enter the robot’s
pipework and filters, thus minimizing downtimes and increasing productivity.
Depending on the product’s characteristics, a delta robot
achieves a maximum speed of 130 cycles per minute. How­ever,
the speed is reduced if the products are more fragile, heavier
and/or bigger, and the robots achieve correspondingly higher
cycling rates with very small products. A robot of this kind
can pick up products weighing up to 3 kg.

sales manager at Bosch
Packaging Technology SA
But such a delta robot can not only pick up
and put down, it can also position products
in such a way that they do not fall apart. In
France, for example, rods penetrating
through the product are used to lift baguettes that have been cut in half but are still
connected together at one side. Pneumatic-­
based grippers generate a counter-pressure
to ensure that these rods can be withdrawn
again gently and the product put down. According to de Vries, this opens up entirely
novel application opportunities, and not only
in the baked products industry. +++

++ Additive grippers
Packing thousands of donuts, thousands of kolaches and 1,000
croissants, and doing it in the shortest possible time and
with a single production line – that’s a really challenging task.
ProAutomation has developed ProBack to pack donuts and
Danish pastries of all kinds, an automation solution that implements the packing process quickly and flexibly. Additive
grippers are the core of the solution. Their use enables customers to retool for a new product quickly and flexibly. The
additively fabricated gripper fingers can be adapted indi­
vidually to production items. Thus the user is more flexible
when there is a need to make adjustments to the line. That’s
because a new gripper is produced quickly – based on existing
design data. Another advantage is the short project design
and fabrication times. An initial prototype that can be tested
and optimized is ready within two weeks. By using this technology, this handling is ensured within a few hours, thus
shortening the retooling procedures and reducing costs to

display damage. This is demonstrated in practical terms by
using the packing of sliced bread as an example. Slices of
bread showing “breaks” in the form of holes are detected by
the 3-D scanner on the conveyor belt. The machine continues to run without interruption. The TLM-F4 robots pick
from the belt only those bread slices recognized as good and
place them onto transfer modules in paired stacks. The TLM
machine shown at the trade fair achieves a total of 400 slices
of bread per minute in this operation.

expand existing lines to process new types of product. Additive
grippers are well suited for use especially in the baking industry, where fast retooling operations must be implemented
due to various different baked product geometries.
ProAutomation is a company in the automation and robotics
sector that develops novel technologies and systems com­

Belt contamination and crumbs on the belt are recognized as
such due to the low height of the vision system, and the robots
can ignore them. Due to its height, the 3-D scanner recognizes products in a low-contrast environment considerably
better than its 2-D predecessor.
In addition the TLM machine’s vision system can even determine the weight of each article on the belt, provided the
product density is uniform. As a result the machine is able to
automatically complete collections of products within a defined weight range. +++

INTERVIEW
A successful transformation process
The Fritsch family business, founded 88 years ago, was restructured two years ago. Since then
Dr. Ulrich Brahms has managed the company with support from Anna-Maria Fritsch, the eldest
daughter of the owner Klaus Fritsch. In an interview they explain the strategies for the future
and for the further growth of the company.
+
Borchfeld: Dr. Brahms, you took over the management
of Fritsch in 2013 and initiated a strategy for the future
and for growth. What is your assessment following just over
two years with the company?
+ Dr. Brahms: Together with Ms. Anna-Maria Fritsch we have
worked intensively on transforming the business. We have
closely examined the structures, the processes, the market, the
products, together with the strategies and the finances. My
assessment is therefore: Fritsch is on a successful growth path.
+ Borchfeld: Are there also any actual figures for this? What
effect has the strategy had on sales?
+ Dr. Brahms: We are operating profitably and turnover has
risen to over EUR 100m. We are in a good financial position,
and the Fritsch Group’s equity-to-assets ratio is in excess of
40%. Thus Fritsch is on a very healthy footing and, despite
all the rumors, we are not looking for investors. The plan is
for the company to remain family-owned and to continue to
grow sustainably and profitably.
+ Borchfeld:
Did growth take place at the employees’
­e xpense?
+ Fritsch: We have increased sales and have kept the number of our employees stable at around 570. Our approach was
never to use the “lawnmower method” to make a radical reduction in personnel costs. We intend to increase productivity
progressively, while encouraging and challenging our employees at the same time. This also includes investments in
the work environment, e.g. 5S workplaces in the production
area, redesigning the employees’ rooms, and staff programs
such as health courses and opportunities for further training.
+ Borchfeld: There are persistent rumors circulating in the
market that Fritsch is in a financially difficult situation. How
do you respond to that?
+ Dr. Brahms: I can only repeat what I have said, we have
full order books, we are profitable and we have a sustainable
positive operative cash flow. The equity-to-assets ratio of over
40 % speaks for itself.
+ Borchfeld: Let’s talk about the development of structures
and processes. Don’t the baking sector’s project-related special
solutions still tie up a lot of resources?
+ Dr. Brahms: In special machine construction one must
live with a very high diversity of variants, and must attempt
to manage this successfully. We are working intensively on the
topic of variant management, and are currently developing a
modular construction system with which we can build up

lines systematically from modules. Firstly this reduces internal
costs and lead times, and secondly we retain our flexibility
so we can continue to meet customer requests in an individually customized way. In addition we are working on process
optimizations in various areas to enable us to deal with customers’ needs even more efficiently and more quickly in the
future.
+ Borchfeld: Regarding the ratio between sales of special
solutions and standard solutions, what is the reality?
+ Fritsch: Solutions for the industry and for the growing chain
stores account for around 80 % of sales, and the proportion
is continuing to grow.
+ Borchfeld: And in your opinion, how will the market
continue to develop?
+ Dr. Brahms: In general I can say that customers’ demands
will become ever greater. The Western European market is
highly innovative and fiercely contested. We are currently
re-establishing ourselves in North America. We also see growth

like to be independent. An enlargement of our portfolio is
conceivable, but it’s not currently on the agenda.
+ Borchfeld: What proportion does Fritsch export, and are
there any figures for orders in hand?
+ Dr. Brahms: The proportion exported is more than 70 %,
and Fritsch already has a good order book for this year.
+ Borchfeld: A question about the iba trade fair: What can
visitors expect?
+ Dr. Brahms: There are new ideas to expand the Multi-­Twist
line. We can manufacture new products on the line by using
special tools, and there are also innovations in the area of
croissants and curled products. In this respect the aims of the
developments are easier operation, shorter set-up times, compact construction and increasing performance and product diversity. Of course other strategic developments are in progress.
+ Borchfeld: The Russian market. What is your assessment
of the position, and what does it mean for bakery plant construction?
+ Fritsch: The market has become difficult due to the devaluation of the Ruble. The demand for new lines still exists,
although project postponements are occurring.
+ Borchfeld: There are movements in the bakery machinery
market – Diosna has just taken over IsernHäger, and Heuft
has taken over iceCool. There are repeated rumors of company
mergers. What is your assessment of the situation, and do
you think that closer collaboration with other companies or
a takeover is sensible?
+ Dr. Brahms: Intelligent purchases are sensible, and so are
alliances or partnerships with other companies to expand
networks to give benefits to customers. However, for Fritsch
there will be no marriage with other businesses, because we
+ Borchfeld: One more brief look into the future. Where
do you see yourself and Fritsch in five years’ time?
+ Fritsch: We still have many ideas and much potential. The
family owners have a great interest in the further trans­­for­
mation of Fritsch into a modern, medium-sized business.
We plan to continue to grow sustainably and profitably, and
to develop new markets. As well as developing innovative
products, we also intend to expand further the service and
technology areas.
+ Borchfeld: Mrs. Fritsch, Dr. Brahms, many thanks for the
interview. +++

++ Daxner offers the baking industry complete solutions from planning, production and installation to commissioning
When it’s a question of raw materials handling, Ing.
Johann Daxner GmbH, Wels, Austria, has stood for
customized solutions for more than 30 years. In this respect
the family business emphasizes tradition and innovative
spirit, and is regarded as a specialist for bulk materials technology. Executive director Ing. Johann Daxner says “We
deal with plant and process technology solutions related to
the use, processing and transport of powders and granulates.
Daxner offers the baking industry complete solutions from
flour component handling all the way to very specific innovations to manufacture pre-doughs and sourdoughs.” He
steers the company’s fortunes together with his son Dipl.Ing. (M.S.) Christian Daxner. Around 200 employees at two
locations, in Wels, Austria and in Lauda-Königshofen (Germany), fabricate customized lines for the food and baking
sectors.
Daxner’s range of products and services comprises:
+ Silos and discharge systems
+ Conveyor/transport systems
+ Big-bag systems
+ Product feeder systems
+ Metering and weighing systems
+ Container systems
+ Mixing systems
+ Sieve systems
+ Grinding and preparation systems
+ Dust removal systems
www.bakingbiscuit.com 02/2015
+ Small package handling
+ Pre-dough and sourdough lines
+ Liquid components
+ Plant controllers
According to DI Christian Daxner, “The factors on which our
performance is based are know-how, capacity and creativity.”
Together with the client, the specialists develop application-­
oriented all-inclusive concepts. In this respect the company
can support its customers through an international network.
For example there are worldwide partnerships such as Daxner
ASIA PACIFIC, Daxner LATAM, Daxner RUSSIA, Daxner UK
and Daxner USA, with numerous sales and service locations.
With a multitude of product innovations, the company constantly develops novel solutions for the baking sector.
The daxBak production control system
“daxBak” is a complete production control system. It puts
Daxner into an even stronger position as a full-range supplier
and full-service partner for the baking sector. The experience
from numerous projects went into the development of “daxBak”. The result is a database-based process control techno­
logy custom-matched to the requirements of the bakery,
confectionery and pastry industry while meeting the demands
for maximum flexibility at the same time. A freely selectable
number of line modules, accessible through mobile opera­
ting terminals, can be set up in the process control system.
The system has automatic temperature calculation, material

with a timer program and E-mail notification in the event
of line malfunctions. The entire administration and configuration of the production process are controlled in the
daxBak Manager. It records product warehousing and
guarantees full batch traceability. Central user management takes place starting from the daxBak Manager. The
client can individually customize all the parameters. The
process control system’s modular system structure is based
on components that are fabricated to the highest industry
standard and which can be expanded at any time.
Using daxRec to process scrap dough
“daxRec” is a process technology developed by Daxner to
micro-pulverize scrap bread. Basically the use of scrap bread
in the manufacture of bread and baked products achieves
an improvement in quality: the flavor is intensified, and
greater water absorption leads to a longer shelf life. The bread
to water mixing ratio in the process is approx. 1:1.5. A special
micro-­
pulverization technique in a rotor-stator system
creates an extremely fine suspension that no longer demixes, thus simplifying storage of the finished bread slurry.
An additional advantage is the larger proportion of free
water in the bread recipe. In addition to the qualitative

improvements, calculation advantages arise due to larger
amounts recycled, higher dough yields and the saving of
baking agents.
When using “daxpH+”, the pH and temperature are continuously communicated to the controller. A target pH is pre-set in
the controller. After reaching this value, the state of the line
changes from “maturing” to “cooling”. This limits the a­ ctivity
of the microorganisms. All the measured values are recorded
to enable every fermentation to be assessed individually.
This process can also be used to process scrap dough. A special
method pulverizes and liquefies the scrap dough with a mini­
mum of water. This forms a suspension that is still pumpable
but no longer demixes, which allows it to be stored. Due to
the suspension’s small water content, large amounts of scrap
dough can now be added to the new doughs without suffering
any quality sacrifices. According to information from the
company, the starch components, which are dissolved during
the liquefaction and pulverization, and the protein components (gluten), which are not destroyed but only pulverized,
lead to an improvement in the quality of the baked products.
The daxPur pigging technique
The “daxPur” pigging technique is used primarily to push
out product or to achieve a clean separation between successive product batches in pipelines. Secondarily it is used for
cleaning (including CIP cleaning) after the flow of product.
As a rule production should not be interrupted.
The pig fills up the cross-section of the pipe, and either moves
through the pipework with the flow of product or is forced
through the pipe by additional applied pressure through the
use of water or compressed air. In addition to the pig, the
Fermentation process monitoring
Daxner has developed “daxpH+” to continuously monitor
the fermentation process. The system constantly determines
the pH during the manufacturing process. For example if
there is a drop in pH between the fifth and sixth batches, the
amount of sourdough to be metered in can be adjusted during
the metering process. This means that in this case the amount
of sourdough is reduced and the flour and water in the recipe
are increased.
Synergy effects
Under the slogan “Competence all the way to the mixer”,
Daxner International GmbH at the Lauda-­Königshofen,
Germany, site has developed into a leading manufacturer and full-range supplier of flour and dough make-­
­up lines for the baking industry. The company, whose
name was changed from AT Hefele® to Daxner International, has been a 100 % subsidiary of the internationally operating company Ing. Johann Daxner GmbH in
Wels/Austria since the takeover in November 2008.
While the company headquarters in Wels acts as a
competence center for plant construction in the food
industry, Daxner International GmbH forms the competence center for bakery technology, with a special
focus on liquid components. The merger yielded synergy effects: the know-how of the two sites was combined and the vertical range of manufacturing enlarged
by expanding production capacity. Dipl.-Ing. Thomas

Whereas wheat and rye can be milled to flour or meal without an additional processing step, bracted cereal varieties
such as emmer need to be freed from the husk (de-husked)
in a separate process step in a hulling mill. In this respect

good shelf life. A unique feature is the combination of the two
varieties emmer and spelt. Karl Schmitz, executive director
of the SchapfenMühle bakery business, explains that “A natural
harmony exists between these two cereal varieties.” The addition of a spelt sourdough also has a positive effect. Schmitz
says “Because emmer products are found only rarely in bakeries
up to now, emmer gives the baker an opportunity to expand
his product range and to stand out mainly in comparison with
the discounters.” According to Schmitz, ancient cereal varieties
also have a particularly high emotional appeal among consumers, and baked products made from ancient cereals may

An essential constituent of the “My Mill” Emmer Urkorn mill
blend are de-hulled emmer grains that have been further refined using steam and pressure (puffed emmer). They increase
the water absorption power of doughs, thus contributing in
a natural way to improving the shelf life of the baked products.
Puffed emmer is a natural raw material with convenience
properties. The declaration will only state “Emmer”. Like the
other puffed cereal grains, it offers a wide range of applications.
Karl Schmitz explains that puffed emmer is not currently offered as a single component, and is produced specifically for
the mill blend. The situation is different for spelt, durum wheat,
rye, organic amaranth and quinoa, which are obtainable from
SchapfenMühle in the “CeralGran” product range. +++

Extraction of undesired flavors

Lupines represent an important source of vegetable protein and dietary fiber. Because the plant
is very easy to cultivate in Europe, the food industry’s interest in its use is growing.

A technology to isolate the proteins and remove the
bitters and off-flavor substances contained in lupines
has been developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process
Engineering and Packaging (IVV), Freising, Germany. For this
the ­Institute’s research team, Dr. Peter Eisner and Dr. Stephanie
Mittermaier, together with Katrin Petersen, Founder of Prolupin GmbH, Grimmen, were awarded the German Future
Prize for Innovation and Technology worth EUR 250,000.00

Only “flavor-neutral” lupine proteins are usable for the food
industry. During lupine seed processing they are first of all
Special alkaloid-free cultivated varieties (sweet lupines) are
usable for food production. Like soya, lupines contain large
amounts of vegetable proteins (30–48 %), dietary fiber (up to
28 %), minerals and trace elements. In addition, sweet lupine
flour contains only 5 % fat compared to full fat soya flour
(<18 %). Lupine protein has a high arginine content. This
amino-acid contributes to nitric oxide synthesis 1 and thus
hulled, then pressed into very thin flakes (see diagram). The
flakes are then treated with supercritical carbon dioxide
(CO 2) at a pressure of more than 74 bar and temperatures
above 31 °C. CO 2 has liquid-like properties under these
­conditions. A large part of the oils and their accompanying
substances dissolve in this phase, thus enabling the pro­
portion of rancid or grass-flavored fat degradation products

unwanted flavors (such as acetic acid) are removed in several
aqueous extraction steps. The final product after drying is a
protein isolate in powder form. This contains up to 95 %
vegetable protein and is a good substitute for animal proteins

Because lupines can trigger an allergic reaction in humans,
their use must be stated on the package with a warning for
allergy sufferers in accordance with the Food, Information
for Consumers, Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011. Lupines are
also used as a functional ingredient for protein and dietary
fiber enrichment in baked products. For example the Backstube Wünsche GmbH bakery in Gaimersheim has a lupine
stick in its product range (see photo on the right). A selection
of foods containing lupines is already on the market, e.g. organic lupine bread containing up to 8 % lupine seed, or sweet

fact that the plant is easy to cultivate in Europe, including

Prolupin GmbH in Grimmen, with 13 employees, is a German
manufacturer of lupine products that uses a practical application of the above-mentioned process strategy for protein
extraction. The company’s main products are lupine protein
isolate, spray-dried or spray-dried and agglomerated 2, dried
lupine fiber and lupine oil. Each individual product of lupine
fractionation is usable in various target markets (e.g. for
dough or baked products). According to information from
the manufacturers, isolates contain up to 95 % protein and
3 % fat. Deep-frozen lupine isolates can be stored for two years.
Because the dried isolates are hygroscopic, they must be stored
chilled (<20°C) and dry. Their shelf life is given as 24 months.

Semi-automatic loader system
The loader system, in this case semi-automatic, enables this
by always holding the pull-out trolleys for all the hearths at
an ergonomic working height of 900 to 1,000 mm. Moreover,
the loader can be combined either with the combustion gas
heated MIWE ideal or with the thermo-oil heated MIWE
thermo-express. It allows a very wide variety of products and
clusters to be baked, products baked on trays, tray cakes and
bread roll products, and breads touching each other that are
intended to be baked joined together, e.g. Stuten or Paderborn
bread, as well as hearth-baked (freely set) or wet bodied
breads and breads in pans or pan clusters.

were able to look at a loader for pull-out trolleys on a deck
oven. In this case a customer expressed the wish to use more
than just the two to three hearth pull-outs that are usually
Work-surface usable from two sides
The advantages include a high degree of flexibility. The
working height is ergonomically favorably aligned and the
entire work-surface is usable from two sides. The partial auto­
mation results in work simplification. Large production
volumes are achievable through the possibility of using all
the hearths. A capacity increase for products that are time-­
consuming to produce is also achieved because up to twelve
hearths are usable. In theory all the products can be manufactured on:
+ Steel
+ Stone slabs
+ Film/foil
+ In pans (with and without a base)
+ Trays
+ Molds
+ Hearth-baked (freely set)
+ In contact
A functional advantage is that there is no snagging during
pulling out, because the doors rise up forwards. Insulation of
the lower part of the pull-out hearths protects the operators
from the evolution of heat. +++

France’s food retail
France’s economy has foundered in recent years, but
to a lesser extent than the Euro Zone average. The

purchasing power of the French fell even in real terms
in 2012. But the signs are said to point to recovery.
France’s population figures are growing, and the percentage of the elderly is rising. Hypermarkets and
­superstores dominate the food retail, and the proportion of discounters is still below 20 % with a rather
downward trend. However, a slight turning away from
gigantic hypermarkets and towards so-called “compact hypermarkets” with a sales area of 7000 m2 is also
visible.
The biggest retail group in the French market is Carrefour, with a sales volume in France (including overseas
departments) of EUR 39.7bn (2014). Worldwide turn­
over was EUR 84bn, and Carrefour Brazil proved to be
the fastest-growing subsidiary, with an increase of
11.5 %. According to Planet Retail, they are followed
in second place on the domestic market by Leclerc
with sales of EUR 29.7bn. In third place is the cooperatively organized Intermarché Group ITM with a turnover of EUR 27.1bn, according to Planet Retail. However, Leclerc is coming increasingly close to the market
leader, especially as market observers predict growth
of 1.4 % for Carrefour by 2018, but a rise of 3 % for
­Leclerc. The discount market, which is admittedly small,
is currently dominated by the Schwarz Group with
more than 1,500 shops and turnover of EUR 7.8bn,
followed by Aldi with around 900 outlets and sales of
EUR 3.1bn EUR. Market leader among the so-called

little treatment, and no further treatment after harvesting
example the price per kilo for artisan bread rolls at Carrefour is 6.86 EUR/. On the other hand organic quality wheat
bread rolls are obtainable for as little as 5.13 EUR/kg. The
French country of origin “Origine France” is also frequently
used in advertising, e.g. on the ten 50-g butter croissants for
EUR 2.90 EUR at Carrefour, or by stating that the product
was manufactured in the company’s own bakery or by their
own pastry-cooks. Also used is the fact that a big saving can
be made by buying two products instead of one, e.g. as much
as 70 % for a Nanterre brioche.
Baking takes place continuously in all the shops. However
Auchan, the biggest of the markets visited, is the only place
where the entire bakery is visible and supplies bread, pastries and confectionery. In all the others the baking process
takes place behind the scenes. +++

The crucial aspect is logistics
Software that accepts and manages orders can be installed quickly, but it’s still
far from all that needs doing. Anyone who wants to sell successfully on the
Inter­net needs constant updating of the site and the product range on offer, and
far more importantly a logistics solution that costs as little as possible. Because
although consumers are willing to pay a few cents for the convenience, this willingness is not very robust. Even big delivery services reach their limits quickly in
that respect unless they are backed by a faultless, fast, fully automated warehouse and logistics system. That’s why, other than collection by customers
themselves, there are only three alternative options for smaller suppliers.
Although a parcel service does all the work, a parcel may occasionally take
slightly longer, and the consumer still has to chase after it. Freshness is a different matter. The second option is the good old courier. That’s more expensive
and needs more in-house organization, but also has the advantage that he/she
can appear as the company’s charming business card, assuming he/she has
the necessary charm, which is in turn a question of staff selection and pay. In that
that are now coming into being at least in the majority of towns and conurbations.
The same applies to them as to all outsourced service providers: one must select
the right service provider, otherwise one’s customers will be angry.

The challenge
Keep up with increasing production speeds by integrating the right coding systems
with today’s flow wrappers.

++ Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO) – digitally controlled printheads, integrated directly into the packaging equipment,
offers fast changeovers, accommodating speeds up to 1,000 millimeter per second and pack rates up to 400 packs per minute
+
Baked goods companies are increasingly offering individual and smaller portioned packages, necessitating
faster packaging line speeds, as well as a greater variety of products, requiring greater line flexibility. One preferred packaging
format to best meet these challenges is flow wrapping.
Flow wrapping can wrap and protect a wide variety of baked
goods products and the size and shape of each product can
impact packaging line speeds. For example, coffee cakes may
be packaged at 65 products per minute, while individual
crackers can be packaged at over 300 per minute.
Coding on fast-moving flow wrapped baked goods
Regulation requires bakeries around the globe to include expiration and manufacturing information on their products,
and flow wrapped products are no exception. It’s a challenge:
the speed of flow wrappers are increasing to improve throughput and yet coding on faster lines becomes more difficult.
Baked goods companies have a variety of coding technologies,
such as roller printers or hot stamp printers, and digital
printers, such as Thermal Transfer Overprinters (TTO), to
solve this challenge.
www.bakingbiscuit.com 02/2015
Digital coding printers offer reliability, flexibility and fast
changeovers, facilitating maximum productivity and attractive
cost of ownership. There are three specific types of digital
printers specifically suited to be integrated with flow wrapping
machinery: TTO, Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ), and Laser Marking
Systems.
TTO, the most prevalent technology, prints high resolution
codes directly onto flexible films by using a precision thermal
printhead and a thermal ribbon. These systems print crisp
and near letter quality text, graphics, batch numbers, real-­
time dates and bar codes. Most advanced TTO printers can
print a resolution of 300 dots per inch (DPI) or 12 dots per
millimeter.
TTO printers must be integrated directly with the packaging
equipment. Thus, when purchasing a TTO printer, one should
carefully consider the integration of their new TTO printer
with their new or existing flow wrapper. While the function
may be the same, flow wrappers from different manufacturers
are built differently and can require specialized brackets
and other accessories. Therefore, it is important to find a
PAC K AG I N G
company with the right experience and accessories to complete
the integration seamlessly.
Regardless of the margin profile of the product, hitting pro­
duction targets every day is critical and any unscheduled downtime that stops product from getting out the door should be
­reduced or virtually eliminated. Thus, baked goods companies
should look for TTO printers that have been designed for
maxi­mum uptime and a low cost of ownership. TTO printers
» Digital coding printers offer reliability,
fast changeovers, maximum productivity
and attractive cost of ownership «
can be extremely reliable and require minimal maintenance as
compared to other coding technologies, but some TTO printers
maximize the use of ribbon in the printer which leads to ribbon
savings and reduces downtime required to replace the ribbon
on the line. Additionally, the time between changes can be increased with the use of longer ribbons, and since ribbon replenishment will be required for any TTO printer, one should
choose a printer that makes ribbon replacement easy.
++ Continuous inkjet (CIJ), the most versatile of the coding systems,
creates dot-matrix characters using individual ink drops printed
directly onto the film, either before or after packaging has
occurred, accommodating most packaging types and speeds

© Videojet
Alternatives to TTO: CIJ and Laser
Although not a common occurrence, line speeds of more than 300
packages per minute may exceed traditional TTO print c­ ycles.
Speeds greater than 1,000 millimeters per second and pack rates
greater than 400 packs per minute are at the extremes of most
TTO capabilities. In this case, alternative coding technologies
such as CIJ and Laser Marking Systems are better suited.
www.bakingbiscuit.com 02/2015
PAC K AG I N G

++ Laser marking systems use a beam of infrared light to create permanent codes by changing the colour of the marked substrate or ink in
packaging or by removing surface coatings to form characters, which are resistant to most abrasions and solvents
Unlike TTO, CIJ and Laser Marking Systems can code on
­p ackaging either before or after products are wrapped. Coding ideally occurs before the film has been formed around
the package where control of the film is greatest. Installation
of the CIJ printhead or Laser Marking System within the
wrapper can be challenging but the reward is better print
quality and precise code positioning. Many CIJ printers have
custom head mounting and configurations such as 90° bends
on the printhead to accommodate machines with tight clearances. Similarly, many Laser printers offer accessories such
as beam turning units and specialized brackets to integrate
with flow wrappers.
Once products are packaged, they tend to be conveyed without strict guides. Variation in product positioning such as
distance from the printhead and the laser and variable speed
can affect print quality and positioning. Yet CIJ and Laser
Marking Systems are tolerant of some variation in distance
and substrate variation.
CIJ is the most versatile of all coding systems. With CIJ,
printed characters are made up of individual ink drops, which
form dot-matrix characters. This method of marking is used
most often to print alphanumeric codes such as ex­piration

dates or manufacturing data. Matched with appli­c ation specific inks and solvents, this type of printer can be used on
nearly all types of package types and speeds.
One should choose a CIJ printer with easy and predictable
maintenance and that allows for long run times without even
handling the printer. Yet selecting the right CIJ printer is
only part of the solution. Choosing the right ink is just as
­i mportant. Different package types and production environments require different ink technologies. Some inks are environmentally friendly and can be found in different colors.
Some are water resistant and others have special characteristics such as ‘Ultraviolet (UV) readability’ inks.
Laser systems mark products in one of three ways: by ab­
lation or removal of surface coatings revealing what is underneath, by changing color of the marked substrate or by exciting an ink with a pigment to change color. A major benefit of
laser marking is that codes are permanent. The code is resistant to most abrasions and solvents and marks can only be
destroyed through physical removal of packaging material.
Unfortunately, while laser marking systems can keep up with
high speed lines, the systems cannot mark on all type of
films. Typically, on metallized foil, it is possible to ablate the
laminate or the ink on the laminate but it is usually not possible to apply laser codes on polyethylene film. To help ensure
laser marking success, it’s important to provide film samples
to a coder equipment supplier for testing and evaluation.
In fact, every flow wrapping application is different and may
have special requirements that better suit one coding technology over another. To best gain the competitive edge,
baked goods companies should work closely with an inno­
vative leader in video coding that will help specify and install the best solution.

RESEARCH
Influencing the rheological
properties of wheat dough – part 2
The properties of wheat dough are firstly the result of variety-specific genetic information.
Secondly they result from so-called epigenetic effects of environmental origin due to soil,
climate etc. which can, among other things, modify a variety’s DNA. (Continuation of the article
in baking+biscuit, Issue 1/2015, page 46.)
+
Whereas the work carried out previously focused on
stabilizing the rather weak flours (use of baking agents
with a correspondingly stabilizing effect, e.g. via oxidation, it
was necessary to adhere to rather short dough production
methods and the use of pre-doughs was technologically limited),
the processing of today’s flours is aimed at tending to “weaken”
the strong quality characteristics of the available flours, e.g.
through pre-doughs or sourdoughs and by prolonged dough
management methods (e.g. proofing control methods), in
order to give the rather less favorable hydration properties
and lower enzyme activities of these present-day flours more
time for the corresponding conversion reactions.
In principle today’s flours create increased volume and then
other improved quality features (aroma, flavor, shelf life etc.)
if more pre-doughs or sourdoughs are used compared to the
past. The use of scrap dough or some proofing control methods achieve similar results, so care must be taken to ensure
there is no doubling of the effects.

For example were one to process flours dating from 1970
with the technologies commonly used today (pre-doughs,
proofing control methods, corresponding baking agents),
this would in every case lead to very unfavorable product
quality characteristics, because the quality data at that time
(weak protein values, high enzyme activity) do not “tolerate”
today’s technologies and methods.
In total, our current bakery technology resembles the technology that has always had to be used in the USA, for example,
because processing the strong wheats that are usual there requires the use of sponges, pre-doughs etc. Moreover, the
weak flours of earlier times are another reason why the baking agent industry in Europe was able to develop comparatively more strongly after approx. 1900 and after 1950 than
in the USA, for example.
As generally understood, wheat gluten produces the fundamental rheological dough properties mentioned above, and
thus also primarily determines the baking properties (figure 7).
The glutenins of wheat proteins, among other things, are what
form the partly very high molecular weight structures (molar
masses: several million Daltons) and which determine the
dough rheology, among other things (mainly elasticity). Facts
of general interest in relation to wheat proteins are that they are
markedly hydrophobic (tyrosine, leucine) while simultaneously
displaying many hydrophilic regions/properties (glutamine
represents cohesiveness), and also that this complex protein is
present in a highly amidated form (basically proteins of this

kind foam scarcely or not at all). Moreover it also displays
only a limited helix fraction (proline effect) and is redox-­
reactive due to thiol groups and disulfide groups etc. etc.
However, the polymeric carbohydrates (starch, hemicelluloses) are also what ensure water binding and gelatinization,
and in their overall interactions with proteins and lipids
co-determine the “baking property” phenomenon.
The hydratability of (today’s) flour particles represents a
special but very topical problem, because this has become
comparatively more difficult since the introduction of the
new varieties, and the baker needs correspondingly more time
than previously, and/or uses different process con­ditions,
to achieve the swelling of a flour particle and adequate
dough development. One of the causes of this more difficult
hydratability of today’s flours is that the starch grains are
coated with a (wafer-thin) protein layer that acts as a barrier
to heat and material transport processes (hydration). This
factor alone is what necessitates the modified process conditions when processing today’s flours (pre-doughs etc., see
above). In this context, the hydration of isolated flour particles
by water introduced at high pressure (e.g. 5 or even 100 bar)
can accelerate the transport of water through these protein
membranes and can bring about fast dough formation
within seconds if necessary (cf. the RapidoJet).

According to the modern view, the assumption that the
constituents starch, proteins, hemicelluloses, lipids etc. are
present in wheat dough almost side by side is not entirely
sustainable. On the contrary, it must be assumed that very
specific conjugates exist, occurring as a result of material
interactions due to the process conditions, among other
things. Thus we know about starch-lipid conjugates, protein-­
hemicellulose conjugates or protein-lipid conjugates etc.
In fact it is also precisely these conjugates with their very
specific functional properties that influence and determine
baking properties.

When the effect of polar lipids is
considered in this context (emulsifiers naturally present in flour,
among other places), it becomes
clear that protein-lipid interactions
are relevant to the occurrence of
boundary layer stabilization and
flexibilization, and therefore have a
positive effect on the volume of
baked products and their porosity.
Hydrophobic interactions of this kind
occur to a greater extent when a
dough is manufactured under anaerobic conditions, e.g. under nitrogen or partial vacuum.
This explains why a dough manufactured under partial vacuum binds very much more water and also binds it more
firmly (smaller baking loss) than conventionally produced
doughs. Hydrophobic interactions predominate under such
conditions.
++ Effect of aerobic and anaerobic (nitrogen) conditions on lipid bonding in wheat dough
during mechanical dough development (modified after Lösche)
If the hydrophilic and simultaneous hydrophobic properties
of gluten proteins are taken into account, it can already be
assumed theoretically that specific interactions with corres­
ponding partners will occur during the dough phase. Thus it
is known that wheat proteins react with carbohydrates
(glyco­proteins) or that proteins react with lipids etc. (protein-­
lipid interactions). One or other of these interactive reactions
predominates, depending on the process conditions (e.g.
pressure, temperature, atmosphere). Thus hydrophilic reactions
are more likely to dominate at low temperatures (glutamine
forms hydrogen bridge bonds, which determines a dough’s
cohesiveness), whereas redox reactions such as SH/SS interactions in the case of gluten proteins occur increasingly at
moderate temperatures (elastic properties occur preferentially at dough temperatures around 20–25 °C for example).
On the other hand hydrophobic interactions need higher activation energies and accordingly will predominate only at
elevated temperatures (to an increasing extent above 30 °C
and up to temperatures of >100 °C).
One well-known fundamental property of gluten proteins is
their low (non-existent) solubility in water and their gas retention ability, which is a causal contributor to the ability to
manufacture an open-pore baked product (including as a consequence of gas formation by yeasts, for example). Such a baked
product represents a solid foam (crumb with pores), and in
the physical chemistry sense the dough can be defined as an
emulsion.
However, how are we to understand the fact that such a foam
is sometimes more or less coarsely porous or why the volume
of a baked product is larger on one occasion and then smaller
again? In each case it can be assumed that the interface between a pore (gas core) and the surrounding matrix has been
stabilized and flexibilized to a different extent that is typical
www.bakingbiscuit.com 02/2015
Similar observations can be made at higher dough temperatures, e.g. >30 °C (increased hydrophobic interactions). For
practical purposes this means that a croissant, for example,
tastes more like a croissant (and browns to a greater extent)
when the corresponding dough was kneaded under partial
vacuum, or a biscuit/cookie tastes more like a biscuit/cookie
when the corresponding short pastry dough was kneaded
under an N2 atmosphere (figure 8). Increased lipid binding
to the dough matrix occurs in both cases, and among other
things there is also greater protein-lipid interaction. Reactions of this kind lead to very stable boundary layers, which
characterize among other things the fine pore structure of a
crumb. The specific baking technology effect of phospho­
lipases, for example, which are observed at an extremely
small dose and under “normal ambient conditions” (good
dough properties, large volume, fine porosity etc.) can also be
understood better against this background. Thus the stabilization and flexibilization of boundary layers by protein-lipid
interactions, for example, plays a bigger role in baking technology than is generally assumed. It is repeatedly apparent that
merely by varying the ambient conditions (pressure, tempera­
ture, atmosphere) it is possible to create correspondingly
modified dough and baked product properties that are able
to generate specific desired effects.
In this respect it is particularly interesting that so-called
puroindolines (PINs) control and influence in a relevant way
the aforesaid properties needed for the interface sta­bilization
RESEARCH
(emulsification) of dough. Puroindolines are special peptides (a distinction is made between a & b PINs) formed by
individual cereals in a species-specific way. For example
hard wheat cannot synthesize puroindolines but soft wheats
can do this very well, and whereas spelt also shows these
puroindolines, emmer wheat or even maize/corn does not
have such genetic information, etc. Therefore these peptides
determine for example the milling properties or swelling
properties of the corresponding cereal species. Whereas hard
wheat milled products show distinctly greater proportions
» A croissant tastes more like a croissant
when the corresponding dough was kneaded
under partial vacuum ability «
of damaged starch, these proportions are very small in milled
products from soft wheats. This is caused essentially by the
puroindolines. They determine among other things the grain
hardness (brittleness); they shorten dough development
times (the ability of a flour to be hydrated etc.) and they obviously cause a change of charge during a dough phase from
an initially anionic charge (after the mixing machine) to a
cationic charge (before baking). These functional peptides
(a+b PINs) do not belong to the actual gluten proteins. They
are themselves cationic (pH 10), and above all also very
­hydrophobic (approx. 13 kDa) and are localized on the surface of a starch grain. Their function, among other things, is
to act as a mediator of interactions between enzymes (enzymes, e.g. lipases, are activated), starch, hemicelluloses and
proteins etc. Their specific ability to react with lipids
(protein-lipid interaction), leads among other things to very
strong foaming properties (PINs form and stabilize foam to
a tenfold greater extent than egg white!), with the result that
corresponding foam structures occur and these influence
the porosity of a crumb. The more effective this group of
substances is in a dough (depending on the process con­
ditions, among other things), the finer the pore structure,
for example, that can be expected in the baked product. The
more hydrophobic interactions for example are forced
through higher dough temperatures (30 °C or above), the
more such interactions are promoted and corresponding
­results are obtained.
Therefore the reactivity of these PIN peptides as a function
of pressure, temperature, atmospheric conditions etc. is what
can determine, more than many other substance groups, the
rheological and baking properties of a dough. For example
among other things the hydrophobic interactions in a dough
(e.g. protein-lipid interactions) are what essentially – and
more than is usually known and utilized – definitively influence
a dough and its properties, and thus the qualities of baked
products.
Therefore the correct handling and influencing of these reactions in a dough can both modify the dough properties
and baking properties and also contribute to enabling techno­
logies to be changed, simplified and optimized.

++ Regulating and modulating bread products influence on blood anti-oxidant activity
Raw materials included in products’ formulations for children
contain micronutrients necessary for this age-group. Minerals
and vitamins are easily digestible thanks to the use of natural
ingredients.
In particular, there exists a favourable combination of vegetable (for ex. wheat germ flakes) and dairy products (kefir [a
type of yogurt], curd (cottage) cheese, dry curd serum).
Numerous literary sources indicate that a high fermentation
(alpha-amylase, proteinase and peptidase) activity in wheat
germ flakes weakens the condition of protein-proteinase and
carbohydrate-amylase complex and may cause dough dilution
thus complicating the operation of dough dividers and dough
preparation equipment. Dough preparation methods were
developed to reduce such fermentation activity, improving
consumer properties of the products and their microbiological
safety based on semi—ready products with a specific functional purpose [1].
The preparation of the above mentioned products shown on
figure 1 was carried out using three formulation variants, including wheat germ flakes, kefir, dry curd serum, calcium
lactate. Besides, part of the quantity of first grade wheat
bread flour, stipulated in the formulation, was diluted with
water to achieve moisture of 50–55 %. [1] In semi-finished
products manufacture “Vita 3” starter was used, which is
isolated from an industrial preparation “Bifidobacterin”. The
starter contains pure cultures of lactic acid bacteria – L. Plantarum 52-AH, L. SanfranciscoE-36 and bifido-bacteria Bifido­
bacteriumbifidum 2 (bifidum 2).
Products manufactured using this technology were characterised by heightened microbiological purity; potato disease
development was delayed by 24 hrs in comparison with control group. The introduction of natural fortifiers increased the
actual protein, calcium, vitamins, amino-acid score content: lysine, threonine, valine, isoleucine, depending on the type of
products.
When consuming these bread products in a daily amount of
100 g. the daily requirement in nutrient materials for children
and teenagers was covered as follows: vitamins В1 – 22.5–
32.0 %, В2 – 9.5–14.0 %, РР and 17.0–27.0 %; iron – 11.0–
16.5 %, calcium – 7.0–10.0 %, dietary fibres – 18.0–36.0 %,
protein – 12.5–16.0 % [2].
At present the population of old and elderly people in the
Russian Federation numbers over 25 mil. An adequate diet is
important in sustaining the quality of life and health, especially in old age.[3].
The scientists working in our Institute have completed their
work aimed to create technologies and a range of bread
products for geriatric-dietary purposes.
About 90 % of old and elderly persons suffer from digestive
organs diseases. One third of visits to the doctor by the elderly
results from cardio-vascular diseases. Bread products undoubtedly play an important part in the diet of the elderly.
In developing the formulations for such products our scientists
took into account the main requirements for this product
group [4].
When studying the biotechnological potential of raw materials
our scientists have found that it is good to use powder from
Jerusalem artichoke tubers, crushed wheat semola, buckwheat flour, linseed, flour made from pumpkin seeds, linseed
flour, salt with reduced sodium content in the formulation,
in particular for people suffering from digestive tract and
cardio-vascular diseases [5,6].
To confirm the effectiveness in the diet of the elderly of these
bread products, developed jointly with ‘Scientific-clinical
gerontology centre’, clinical trials were carried out. Patients
aged 60 to 80 with various digestive tract and cardio-vascular
diseases (chronic gastritis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, colitis
and angina) took part in these trials.
Resulting from the inclusion in the diet of these bread products
a tendency towards improved health was recorded: we have
observed a reduction in the pain syndrome, a tendency towards
normalisation of the gastrointestinal tract motility, paroxysm
of angina pectoris was reduced, cholesterol levels dropped. It
has been established that bread in the diet contributes to
partial restoration of intestinal microflora, stabilises summary
antioxidant blood activity (see figure 2), which is extremely

++ Change in post-nutrition glycaemia with the consumption of bread products
important because the basis of pathogenesis of numerous
diseases, including old age pathology, is the intensification
of free radicals reactions [7].
Scientific-­R esearch Institute of Nutrition and the Russian
Academy of Medical Sciences enabled to determine their
glycemic index which amounted to 55,0 % (figure 3).
As a rule, elderly people tend to get type 2 diabetes, and it’s
connected with a drop in sensitivity to insulin of muscle, fat
and other tissues.
It’s impossible to treat this illness without following a diet.
Modern dietary therapy for diabetes requires using in the diet
products containing carbohydrates with low glycemic index
combined with vegetable and animal proteins, monitoring
the quantitative and qualitative composition of fatty products,
and obligatory inclusion in the diet of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids sources, adequate vitamin and mineral content, preferably from natural sources [8].
Development of the ingredients for bread products intended
for people with diabetes was carried out jointly with scientists
from Scientific-Research Institute of Nutrition and the Russian
Academy of Medical Sciences.
Among the components used in the formulation the following
were included: barley flour, apple pectin, refined deodorised
sunflower oil, dry fat free milk and other ingredients.
Barley flour has a low glycemic index. Barley grain, as opposed
to wheat, contains less mono and di-saccharides, starch,
more dietary fibres, both soluble and insoluble. Soluble dietary fibres are represented mainly by β-glucans, which help
regulate glucose levels in the blood.
The method of product preparation [8] impacts on its glycemic index: in prolonged dough fermentation a deeper hydrolysis of bread carbohydrates occurs in human organism.
We have developed a technology for the preparation of bread
products for diabetics whose main element is the preparation
of a swelling semi-ready product, duration of dough fermentation 20–30 min at temp. of 24–27 °С.
The introduction of barley flour as a swelling semi-ready
product contributes to a fuller hydration of protein substances in the mix of barley and wheat flour, improvement of
rheologcal properties of the dough and bread quality [9].
Clinical trials of bread products in the Department of
­Metabolic diseases of the Therapeutic Food Clinic of the
Structure analysis nutrition for sportsmen active in various
sport disciplines carried out in series of studies has shown
that at present basic and specialised products for sportsmen
are unable to satisfy the requirements of their organism in
nutrients and biologically active substances [10,11].
Based on the data from the Scientific-Research Institute for
Sports Medicine (RGFKSMiT) sportsman’s diet contains
760–820 kcal of bread products, and these are the most accessible and easily digestible foods which enable the correction of nutritional value [12].
Jointly with the Scientific-Research Institute for Sports
Medi­cine we have identified priority sports for which these
specialised bread products developed by us are suitable,
namely: speed and power sports.
The analysis of scientific (medical) literature resulted in the
definition of key medical-biological recommendations for
sportsmen relating to nutrition.
For sportsmen active in speed and power sports a list of ingredients has been selected which possess immune-modelling, anti-oxidant, pre-biotic properties, and contain such irreplaceable macro and micronutrients as: whole wheat flour
(source of protein, dietary fibre and essential micronutrients),
corn (maize) oil (source of polyunsaturated fatty acids), biologically active food additive ‘Erakond’ (source of anti-oxidants), dry flour gluten (source of vegetable protein), Poshekhonskiy cheese (source of protein), dry fat free milk (source
of protein), fructose (source of simple carbohydrates).
Development of functional properties in bread products for
sportsmen’s diet was done taking into account substantiated
quantitative ratio of components in the formulation based
on the principles of nutritional combinatorics. This enabled
the achievement of the required pre-set physical-chemical
and organoleptic product characteristics.
It has been established that the introduction of suitably selected formulation components contributes to an increase in
anti-oxidant activity of the products by 23–82 % in comparison

industry has shown that introducing into bread formulation
of ingredients studied resulted in an increase of protein content – to 16 %, fats – to 38 %, MDS – to 53 %, iron – to 56 %,
dietary fibre – to 54 %, calcium – to 68 %, vitamins: В1 to 50 %,
В 2 to 70 %, РР – to 61 % depending on the type of product

­d ecisions. That is as true as it could possibly be for bread and
baked products. The question of quality and reliability needs
valid answers. The importance of scien-tific safeguards is
obvious. According to Kummer: “Whatever comes onto the
plate – or into the breadbasket – must conform to mandatory
traceable, reproducible criteria. We see it as our main task to
secure the quality of bread and baked products.” He says that
holds true from sowing the seed to the bake-oven. Christian
Kummer adds: “As a cereals processing laboratory, we guarantee food safety by using objective, standardized tests. Further­
more we are baked products manufacturers at the same time,
and we provide competence transfer for successful product
developments to enliven the market.” Kummer identifies close
contact with businesses as a further advantage (AMA Artisan
Seal and AMA Quality Seal Audits). Christian Kummer says
“We have profound knowledge available about what takes place
in practical operations.” Being familiar with the wide variety
of problems occurring on a daily basis, the vg scores points
through its uncomplicated competence in finding solutions.
“For this we also offer ‘In-house training sessions’ to highlight
new opportunities to companies here on the spot. We specialize
in developing appropriate research projects for complex issues
that cannot be cleared up immediately, and in implementing
these projects jointly with the respective company.” Moreover,
the vg maintains close contact with the Austrian Research
Promotion Agency (FFG). Customers placing orders are
therefore likewise offered the option to take over the entire
research promotion implementation at the same time. +++
