FORMULATION
Dairy & Eggs
STRETCH
it out
Bakers extend dairy and egg
ingredients to lower their costs.
by Lucas Cuni-Mertz
C
Cost reduction is top of mind for many baking operations,
especially in recent years as inflation and ingredient
shortages have raised prices throughout the supply
chain. These challenges are often felt through bakers'
dairy and egg ingredients, which can be subject to volatile
price swings.
" Both dairy and egg products experience price fluctuations
throughout the year, " said Ashley Beech, bakery
applications development manager, Corbion. " Eggs in
particular are subject to price volatility due to seasonal
outbreaks of avian influenza. Bakers can face extreme
price changes during such outbreaks. "
Despite the cost concerns these ingredients pose, most
operations can't go without them. Dairy and egg ingredients
like milk, butter and egg whites are the star players in
many baked goods, providing much of the key functionality
needed to achieve a quality finished product.
" Dairy, usually in the form of butter or dry milk,
is used in bakery to add flavor and richness to bakery
products, " said Aaron Reed, senior food technologist,
Cargill. " Eggs also play a critical role in baked goods,
from maintaining moistness in shelf life to providing
aeration, emulsification and structure. "
To overcome the price volatility of these ingredients
and keep costs under control, bakers are employing
strategies that stretch these star ingredients further.
These include using dairy and eggs more efficiently
to reduce waste, extend shelf life and boost product
quality, as well as partially replacing these ingredients
with more affordable alternatives that still offer the
functionality their baked goods need.
Making the stretch
When it comes to extending dairy and egg ingredients,
the format they come in can make a big difference. Liquid
eggs may function the same as dry eggs in a cake, but their
impact on a baker's bottom line can vary considerably.
Due to their shorter shelf life, fresh dairy and egg ingredients
are more prone to costly wastage compared to
dry ingredients, noted Rachel Marshall, technical engagement
manager, Atlantic Region, Fonterra.
" Dried milk and protein powders typically have a twoyear
shelf life from date of manufacture when stored appropriately,
hence offering bakers flexibility on when they use
the ingredients, " she said. " Dried powders also allow ambient
storage versus the chilled storage needed for fresh milk. "
Dry eggs can also be portioned more accurately than liquid
eggs, reducing waste, said Nelson Serrano-Bahri, chef
and director of development of the American Egg Board.
While they are more expensive than liquid egg products,
the cost savings they offer elsewhere typically make
them a worthwhile investment, Reed said.
" [Dry eggs] keep the cost of capital down where a silo,
piping, pumps and automation systems would otherwise
be required, " he said.
Production strategies like batch cooking can further
stretch these ingredients, Serrano-Bahri noted.
" Producing in larger batches can help reduce waste,
