Unlock the appeal of protein breads

Consumers want healthy protein-rich breads. But they also demand that breads look appealing and deliver a great eating experience. Pulses added to bread are the answer. With Novonesis biosolutions, overcome texture and appearance challenges generally associated with pulses as protein sources and unlock their appeal.

Why add pulses to your bread?

Pulses, with twice the protein of whole-grain cereals, pair perfectly with wheat to create a complete protein source. Packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals like iron and magnesium, they support better digestion, blood sugar and cholesterol levels. With over 1 in 3 consumers globally seeking more protein in bread—rising to 49% in South Africa and 45% in Brazil1 —adding pulses can boost protein content while maintaining great taste and texture, unlocking new health benefits and claims for your bread.

More healthy baking solutions

Novonesis biosolutions also offer you other opportunities to bake healthier.

  • Bake whole-wheat bread a whole lot better

    Whole-grain breads have taken off in many markets around the world. With Novonesis biosolutions, bake deliciously healthy whole-wheat breads that are softer, moister and stay fresh for longer. What’s more, give baked goods producers compelling claims and the benefits consumers are looking for.

  • Bridge the (fiber) gap

    Most people are not getting enough fiber – this deficiency is known as The Fiber Gap. Bread is a great way to get more fiber, but fiber also tends to make bread denser and drier. How can you bake an appealing, soft, high-fiber bread that stays fresh for longer and reduce your need for emulsifiers at the same time?

  • Reduce acrylamide

    Acrylamide forms naturally when foods are baked or fried. However, natural does not always mean good; acrylamide is suspected to cause cancer. Baking biosolutions from Novonesis hep you reduce acrylamide from your food products and comply with changing regulations.
