Principles of baking

Sponsored links

This course provides an opportunity to increase your knowledge of how ingredients and processes can influence the quality of bakery products. It will be particulary useful to all who need to gain a better understanding of the scientific and technical principles of baked foods production. There will be a mix of practical work and lectures and each day is specific to a product sector. The course will appeal to all production and technical managers, and new product development and quality control staff. Some technical experience or understanding will be an advantage, but is not essential. Non-technical delegates (e.g. sales, purchasing, marketing) who need a better feel for baking processes will be welcome.
