Glanbia Nutritionals Expands Bakery Ingredients Portfolio

Glanbia Nutritionals launched OvenPro, a series of ingredient solutions that improve the nutrition, flavor, texture and stability of bakery products that include dairy-based proteins.

The series allows for high levels of protein and fiber and low levels of sugar and net carbs. It includes OvenPro Bread & Bread Zero Net Carb, OvenPro Cake and OvenPro QuickBread. The ingredients offer a 1:1 flour replacement that supports good source claims for protein and fiber, providing 47% to 80% protein and 18% to 35% fiber. They function similarly to wheat flour and may be easily added into existing baking processes, according to the company.

“With commonly used wheat protein lacking as a complete nutritional protein source, and the well-known challenges associated with adding protein to baked goods at higher levels, we are excited to provide our customers a superior ingredient solution that solves these issues,” said Steve Ham, senior director, commercial bakery, at Glanbia Nutritionals.
