Imagine if bread, a daily staple for consumers worldwide, could significantly enhance their diets by boosting nutrition and fiber intake. Whether you’re a small baker, part of a large bakery chain, or a large-scale bakery goods manufacturer, our innovative solutions can help you create delicious and healthy bread and bakery products that your customers will love and choose every day. With our ingredients, you can transform ordinary bread into a nutritional powerhouse – just one of the many reasons to innovate with Puratos by your side.
One of the most effective ways to enhance the nutritional value of bread is by incorporating fiber-rich ingredients. Fiber is essential for maintaining good gut health and can offer numerous health benefits, including:
- Controlling blood glucose levels
- Reducing cholesterol levels
- Controlling blood pressure
- Improving bowel movements (laxation)
- Increasing mineral absorption in the intestinal tract
- Promoting a feeling of fullness, which can reduce energy intake
Our Sapore Baiota is a dried wheat bran sourdough that helps bakers achieve a gut health claim through its high fiber content. Unlike regular sourdoughs that are based on flour, Sapore Baiota ferments pure wheat bran to obtain the highest fiber content in the Sapore range. When dosed between 5% - 10% in combination with the right amount of whole meal flour and hydration, Sapore Baiota contributes 6g of wheat bran fiber per 100g of bread. This not only brings the lovely taste sourdough is famous for but also provides the gut health benefits that consumers seek.
Sourdough and fermentation processes are another excellent way to boost bread's nutritional profile. Puratos offers a wide range of ready-to-use sourdoughs, suitable for both small bakers and industrial-scale production. Our Sapore and O-tentic sourdoughs showcase the diverse possibilities that sourdough has to offer. Available in both liquid and powder forms, they can be used in any type of bread to create exceptional flavor profiles that meet your consumers’ preferences while making your products nutritionally balanced.
Moreover, our Sproutgrain is ready-to-use sprouted and fermented whole grains and seeds that add both flavor and nutrition to your baked goods. Meanwhile, Softgrain includes tender sprouts, wholegrains and seeds infused with natural fermentation. Incorporating these will make your bread a preferred daily choice for consumers.
Elevate consumers' everyday nutrition with Puratos ingredients and make a positive impact on their health. Let’s bake a healthier future together!
