New Ingredient Retains Freshness in Sweet Baked Goods

FOND DU LAC, WI / ACCESSWIRE / June 19, 2024 / Grande Custom Ingredients Group has announced the development of a new, clean-label functional ingredient for sweet baked goods. Grande DuratoTM is a whey protein concentrate designed to replace up to 100% of dried dairy products, enhancing moisture retention in cookies, cakes, muffins, bars, and pastries.

"Baked goods often lose their appeal after a few days on the shelf," said Stephanie Miller, Senior Marketing Manager. "Grande Durato ensures indulgent textures and freshness from Day 1 and throughout their shelf lives."

The ingredient was created by Grande's food scientists to meet demands for moist textures in sweet baked goods. Controlled studies showed that Grande Durato improves quality in products like cookies and muffins, outperforming traditional non-fat dry milk in terms of moisture content, texture, and visual appeal.

"86% of consumers prefer soft and bendy cookies," added Miller. "Retail bakeries that maintain desirable textures can see increased sales and revenue."

Grande Custom Ingredients Group continues to innovate with the introduction of Grande Durato. More information is available at their website.
