WUR’s innovative digital tool helps bakeries reduce added sugars without compromising on taste or texture. Tailor-made solutions accelerate reformulation while meeting nutritional and labelling requirements.
Sugar reduction is one of the biggest challenges for today’s bakery manufacturers. Consumers demand clean labels, natural ingredients and improved nutritional profiles, yet cutting sugar often harms product quality. Wageningen University & Research has developed a digital reformulation tool that integrates extensive research on sugar functionality with ingredient data and smart algorithms. This tool enables bakery manufacturers to identify optimal sugar replacers, while ingredient suppliers can apply it to develop and market innovative sugar alternatives. By balancing texture, rheology, water activity, sweetness, nutritional and labelling requirements, the tool helps companies reformulate efficiently and successfully bring healthier products to market.
