    Presentation Title:

    Extending the Shelf life of Bakery Products

    Presentation Synopsis:

    Mould free shelf life (MFSL) is a critical parameter in the bakery industry. Formulation and parameters such as Aw and use of preservatives such as propionates and sorbates are traditionally used to ensure the length of MFSL is acceptable to consumers, retailers and manufacturers. The current trend to reduce or eliminate the use of “artificial” preservatives, and the rise of organic foods is challenging the traditional methodologies.

    A number of new technologies and processes can help bakers extend their MFSL without the use of preservatives or with reduced quantities. These include infra red, ultra violet light, vacuum cooling, cold plasma and sourdough systems. This presentation will examine each technology/process in turn and discuss the benefits and drawbacks.
