Chris Thomas, Project Leader for Technical Service with Ingredion will lay the foundation for the different types of plant-based ingredients and their unique characteristics. Chris will review their nutritional makeup and blend recommendations.
Attendees will learn about the baking process from the production side, addressing differences in time, temperature, and processing. Snehdeep, Director of Technical Services at Lenny and Larrys will discuss the key sensory challenges of working with plant proteins, and how these can be navigated to improve the texture and taste. She will also share some technical challenges of working with different proteins in manufacturing and troubleshooting principles that can help to overcome.
