Our global consumer research, Taste Tomorrow, confirms the growing importance of texture. For consumers today, taste is more than just flavour. Texture is now a key component of taste. Consumers now evaluate texture and pay as much attention to a special, delicious, appealing texture as to its flavour. More than 63% of consumers like to try food with different textures. Texture has also become an important part of the eating experience.
From a classic bun/pain au lait, we have reinvented it with different layers of creative textures, offering the consumers a multi-sensorial experience in every bite. However, the texture of the bun will evolve overtime. In order to keep the 3 different textures, we need to master the science behind the interactions.
Thanks to freshness solutions combined with Intens Soft & Fine for improved softness and freshness:
Regardless of your breads’ shelf life, it always comes down to that crucial moment when consumers bite into your bread. That’s the moment when the texture either delivers or exceeds expectations, or falls short. A bite into a whirlwind of softness, smoothness and utterly irresistible fresh crumb and crispy crust can make your bread a success.
The choice of the filling is key as this may alter the texture of your bun leading to a dry, hard bun. Cremfil Ultim fillings, our chocolate and nut fillings, improve the overall freshness of soft bakery and patisserie items, thanks to the controlled water activity. Studies in buns and muffins show that freshness after one month with Cremfil Ultim is equal to the freshness after one week with a fat-based filling.
Also, the texture of Cremfil Ultim stays soft and creamy throughout the shelf life.
