Quick characterization of waffle flours
Waffle recipes are quite simple and do not need many ingredients. To obtain the adequate waffle sheet structure, the flour used should meet certain characteristics when it comes to protein and gluten content.

Bread-making is a scientific symphony of physical, chemical, and rheological processes. Beyond the apparent simplicity of mixing flour, water, and yeast lies an intricate web of molecular and mechanical changes that transform these raw materials into bread.
It is a recurrent issue well-known in food processing companies: sometimes, a product that has been successfully manufactured over a long period of time suddenly exhibits a quality problem, although nothing has been intentionally changed.
Ensuring constant results from the fermentation process is largely dependent on considering the challenges of working with a living product. Artificial intelligence provides promising opportunities in the flexible management of the process.
Combining functional and molecular flour analytics will establish a comprehensive picture of the grain, and help to achieve better baking results.
The principle of the forked kneader came from the Mahot machine factory and provided mechanization of dough preparation. It has since proved itself in practice – and is still used today. The reason behind this is the technological proximity to French traditional, manual dough production.
While the SE Asian bread market was a key focus for the project, from the start it was recognized that the study of dough development through mixing and processing would have wider implications and offer new opportunities for bread-making throughout the world.
