Global ingredients leader Corbion is expanding its Pristine range with a new consumer-friendly dough strengthening solution that helps bakers address two challenges: 1) deliver the consistent product quality consumers expect in spite of fluctuating gluten levels in wheat flour and the demands of high-speed manufacturing lines, and 2) remove artificial-sounding ingredients, such as DATEM (diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides), which many shoppers want to avoid.

New Pristine 3000 is Corbion’s most robust dough conditioning innovation yet, allowing bakers to create dough with the overall strength and tolerance needed to stand up to today’s high-speed commercial processing. Pristine 3000 also reduces the need for adding costly vital wheat gluten, which often subjects bakers to volatile pricing and supply issues. Even with protein-deficient flour, the new solution produces dough with optimal machinability that results in high oven spring, soft texture and overall consistent quality in the final product.

“This breakthrough solution is the direct result of Corbion’s on-going commitment to, and investment in, innovation in dough conditioning and baking technologies,” says Kathy Sargent, director of global market strategy at Corbion. “Pristine 3000 helps bakers achieve the very specific qualities and eating experience their customers expect each and every time they purchase their favorite products. And consumers will now be able to feel even better about those products knowing they contain fewer ingredients they don’t understand.”

Corbion has also added to the versatility of its portfolio with the recent introduction of Pristine 2200, a conditioning system replacement designed specifically to enhance mixing and machinability, and to  provide greater tolerance and dough strength even when protein content is substandard, or when gluten reduction is a goal. Additionally, Pristine 100 G can be added on top of bakers’ existing dough conditioning systems to reduce or eliminate supplementation with vital wheat gluten, without compromising gas retention during proofing, volume and oven spring.

“These new solutions give our customers flexibility in choosing highly effective, consumer-friendly alternatives for solving today’s processing and quality challenges,” Sargent says. “Whether they choose to keep their current dough conditioning system or replace it altogether, bakers can now deliver a product with all the qualities their customers expect and the kind of ingredient list they want.”
