The important role of shelf life extenders in professional baking
Bakery products are a universal staple, yet their perishability often leads to food waste and lost profits, both in consumer homes and in professional bakeries. According to research, one-third of all food is discarded globally, a compelling reason for bakers and food producers to explore shelf life solutions.Â
Extending the shelf life of your assortment stretches beyond a business need, it’s an investment into sustainability and customers’ convenience and fresh, long-lasting expectations. There are two forms of shelf life extension: microbial/mould-free shelf life focuses on the duration of time a product can be stored under intended conditions before the first visible signs of mould growth appear, while physical shelf life determines how appealing the product is to consumers (i.e. stale).
