Training Course content

Module 1 – Ingredient technology 

Do you want to reduce costs, develop new and innovative products or resolve quality issues effectively? Understanding the ingredients used in your product and the impact they have on product quality is often the key to achieve these objectives, this module will cover: 

  • Appreciate different flour types, their individual benefits and interpret their specifications
  • Understand the key role that ingredients like egg, sugar and fat play
  • Know what functionality minor ingredients like cocoa powder, raising agents, reducing agents, enzymes and emulsifiers play in modern biscuit and cracker production

 

Module 2 – Key processes 

Understanding and optimising your process is essential to prevent quality faults, reduce waste and ultimately reduce costs, this module will cover:

  • Different dough types and processing methods
  • Primary and secondary processing methods and equipment types
  • The processes taking place inside the product during baking and cooling

 

Module 3 -  Shelf-life, troubleshooting and quality assessment 

Extending the product shelf-life can open opportunities for export of products and help to access new markets. Additionally, knowing which factors influence the best before date and how this can be extended can improve the attractiveness to consumers and reduce wastage.

Product quality faults are another common source of wastage and/or customer complaint. Using a systematic approach to identify and effectively resolve faults can save time and offers an opportunity to build up in-house knowledge that can be utilised to respond to recurring issues. 

Whether your aim is to reduce costs, improve product quality, reduce wastage or increase consumer acceptance,  this module will cover: 

  • How to extend the shelf-life of your product
  • Troubleshoot effectively using a systematic approach
  • Objectively quantify biscuit, cookie or cracker quality characteristics

Module 3 requires a good understand of raw materials and processes used for the production of biscuits. If you are new to the baking industry, we recommend attending Modules 1 & 2 first.
