It looks healthy and wholesome – but some "vitality bread" is just colored white bread. Enzymes ensure perfect baking results in the baking industry. And where are frozen goods hiding?

THE "VITALITY" TAKER
Bread made from wheat flour has fallen into disrepute. In contrast, supermarket "vitality breads" suggest vitality, health, and fitness with their name. But beware: Vitality bread is often just white bread darkened with additives. This gives the bread a healthy impression. Therefore, "vital, fit, and healthy" are often just popular marketing terms used by the bread industry.
HAND-MADE
Due to intense industrial competition, more and more traditional artisan bakeries are having to file for bankruptcy or even close down. Supermarkets, on the other hand, receive their bread ready-made from baking mixes and simply thaw it. Despite this, they advertise the bread as fresh and homemade. For master baker Tim Lessau, baking mixes are taboo. He and his bakery have joined the Association of Traditional Bakers to ensure transparency for consumers. This includes the prohibition of preservatives and artificial colors in the bread.
THE "ENZYME" TRICK
In contrast, there's the mass production of the baking industry, for which enzymes are indispensable to save money and time. These enzymes don't have to be listed on the ingredients of the products. They are obtained from genetically modified material, such as fungi. Technical enzymes can accelerate the baking process. Thickeners and emulsifiers are also used to save time during baking.
THE CAKE CHEAT
When randomly sampling the cake offerings of different cafés, one thing becomes clear: even in cafés with hefty prices, frozen cakes are often used.
THE FROZEN CAKE TRICKS
In frozen cakes, butter is often replaced by palm oil and rapeseed oil, as these fats are significantly cheaper than butter, allowing manufacturers to save money. Pastry chef Tina Herzog tests frozen Black Forest cherry cakes and concludes that frozen products cannot compete with homemade cakes in terms of appearance or taste. Frozen cakes contain emulsifiers and acidulants to keep them fresh and in good shape.
CONCLUSION
The baking industry has a lot of tricks up its sleeve to sell customers cheap products. Ultimately, consumers also decide whether these inexpensive, fast-acting products continue their triumphant march, or whether there is a renewed focus on traditional, artisanal quality and support for local bakeries.

Diese Doku gefällt mir wirklich gut, aber der Schlussatz hätte anders heißen müssen...
Wenn sich mehr Menschen wieder Bäcker-Brot leisten könnten, würde dieses Thema gar nicht erst entstehen.
Nach verschiedenen Rezepten, mit Sauerteig und wenig Hefe.
Brot und Brötchen grundsätzliche mit mindestens 16 Stinden Reife.
Es schmeckt gut, ist gesund und ich weiß welche zutaten drin sind.
Gruß aus Kanada ❤

Bin erst von paar Tagen auf Merktcheck aufmerksam geworden und bin sehr positiv überrascht wie gut Sie hier recherchieren, sehr gute Themen, sehr informativ und sehr taff.
Macht weiter so, leider wird über die Thematik Lebensmittel sehr wenig berichtet, über sehr viele Themen werden so grosse Geheimnisse gemacht, mir ist aufgefallen wie oft Sie auf Rückfragen keine Antwort bekommen.
Gerade bei den Themen wie Lebensmittel wo man eine Transparents erwarten möchte wird so oftmals ein großes Geheimnis gemacht, wie so oft weiß man dann auch wiso.
Bin leidenschaftlicher Hobby Koch und gerade im Aufbau von einem Erlebniscatering mit gut Bürgerliche Hausgemachte Küche, regionale Produkte und gekocht so wie gegrillt wird über dem offenem Feuer auf meiner selbst gebaute Küche und nennt sich Argyles Rauchküche, daher sauge ich alle ihre Recherchen über Lebensmittel auf wie einen Schwamm, nicht weil ich nicht Kochen kann sondern und die Themen besser zu verstehen…. Danke..
