Galactic develops natural solutions for applications in the food, feed, body care, health and industry sectors. Specialised in food safety, nutrition and green chemistry, Galactic offers environmentally and health friendly substitutes such as lactic acid, lactates and many other innovative products. In collaboration with its customers and scientific partners, Galactic meets the challenge of sharing the unlimited potential of nature for a sustainable future. 2 ENHANCING THE GENIUS OF NATURE

3 Introduction According to Euromonitor (2013), the size of the global bakery market amounts to $ 330 billion, with Europe accounting for 37%, North and South America for 32% and Asia-Pacific for 14%. The four main supplying channels are industrial bakers, artisan bakers, food service & out of home, and supermarkets & in-store bakeries. Bakery industries are continuously looking for new ingredients to improve the composition and the properties of the dough while consumers increasingly look for fresh, natural and always tastier and healthier home-made products. With the expansion of the world s population, higher nutritional standards and a growing interest in ready-to-eat and ready-to-bake goods, the demand for bakery items has considerably increased over the past 10 years. Galactic proposes innovative solutions specially designed for bakery products based on four main market trends: clean labelling, health and nutrition, process improvement and taste enhancement. Galactic s Solutions Clean labelling Clean labelling is a major trend in the bakery sector. Consumers now want natural and healthy ingredients, even for industrial products. Bakers use chemical leavening systems containing bicarbonate and acidifiers, e.g. phosphates or coated organic acids. The use of phosphates is controversial since they are said to cause many diseases and disorders such as kidney stones, ADHD, etc. Phosphates containing aluminium like SALPs are not allowed anymore in Europe. Organic acids are primarily coated with palm oil which is criticized as it has a negative impact on the environment (deforestation and soil impoverishment), the wildlife (slaughter of animals) and human health (cardiovascular diseases and obesity).

4 Galactic proposes a brand-new natural acidifier,, to control the activation of bicarbonate in leavening systems. Thanks to its structure, the activity of can be accurately adjusted to the process by controlling different parameters such as time, temperature, concentration and water content. At low temperatures, the acidity release is slow while it is much faster at higher temperatures (see table below). Thus the CO 2 release can be controlled by the temperature, which can vary during the different steps of the production process. has no taste and demonstrates excellent compatibility with all the other ingredients generally used in bakery. is equally effective in fresh, frozen, and ready-to-bake products.

5 Health and nutrition Mineral fortification Calcium is an essential part of the human diet as it helps in the formation and maintenance of healthy bones, teeth, etc. Calcium deficiency can cause serious health problems such as osteoporosis, cardiac rhythm disorders and many others. Iron is mainly found in hemoglobin. It is a mineral involved in oxygen transport and is essential for the regulation of cell growth and cellular differentiation. Lacking iron leads, for example, to fatigue and loss of concentration. Salt (sodium) reduction As cardiovascular diseases and hypertension are becoming major health problems worldwide, sodium reduction is set to be a crucial challenge for the bakery industry. Galimax Flavor TM K is the latest innovation from Galactic in the field of salt replacement and makes it possible to substitute at least 20% of salt contained in bread or flatbread. Galimax Flavor TM K does not impact on the texture, the volume and the breadcrumb structure. Galactic proposes a wide range of mineral lactates such as Galaxium TM (calcium lactate) and Galanium TM Fe (ferrous lactate), which are highly bioavailable sources of minerals, to fortify bakery products (e.g. flour fortification) and help increase calcium and/or iron intake (see Galactic s brochure on nutraceuticals for further information). Process improvement Control of the leavening effect Controlling the activity of the yeast is one of the challenges bakery manufacturers are facing, especially in bake-off products. Yeast is sensitive to sub-zero temperatures and loses part of its effectiveness as a leavening agent when frozen, which impacts on the volume of the final products. Galactic has developped, a solution in powder form that allows a better volume control during baking and is well adapted to chilled and frozen products. BAKERY PRODUCTS 5

6 Production of emulsifiers Galacid TM Heat-Stable lactic acid is used as raw material in the production of emulsifiers like sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL) and calcium stearoyl-2-lactylate (CSL). SSL and CSL: Production time reduction Sourdough is produced through lactic acid fermentation. Production time can be drastically reduced by direct acidification with lactic acid. Galactic proposes its Galacid TM range, which is perfectly adapted to that use. present the best ability to form a complex with amylose; strongly interact with gluten to strengthen the gluten starch matrix, which improves dough stability; slow down starch retrogradation; improve the shelf life of the products. These emulsifiers are therefore used to obtain good dough properties. Taste enhancement Reducing the salt content of bakery products often leads to loss of taste. Galactic offers Galimax Flavor TM K, a natural flavour produced by fermentation of sugar. It enhances the salty taste and allows manufacturers to reduce the salt content in their formulations by at least 20%. enhances the butter taste in cakes and the chocolate taste in cookies.

9 The effects of additives on the specific volume of baked bread were measured. The control had a specific volume of 3.7 cm³/g, calcium lactate 0.1%w/w 3.9, calcium gluconate 0.1%w/w 3.7 and sodium gluconate 0.1%w/w 3.8. The values of the control and the test samples were analysed by a Student s paired t-test. Six trials were conducted. Source: Gembloux University. Structure improvement of gluten-free bread The absence of gluten network in gluten-free bread often leads to a very heterogeneous distribution of pore size. By partially substituting the yeast (about 25%), avoids this phenomenon and enables a much more homogeneous breadcrumb.

10 Time saving in the production of breadcrumbs Yeast is regularly used in the production of breadcrumbs, which requires a waiting time for the dough to rise before baking. With Galactic s new natural solution,, the waiting time is no longer needed. As a result, manufacturers substantially reduce the production time without losing the volume of the final product. In case of need, the use of allows to adjust the colour of the breadcrumbs (from yellow to orange). A = Control with yeast (orange) B = 0.66% (orange) C = 1.00% D = 1.50% (yellow) Health and nutrition Reduction in the salt content Galactic reduced the salt content by 25% by using 0.25% of Galimax Flavor TM K without impacting on the organoleptic properties. The dosage of Galimax Flavor TM K may however fluctuate between 0.25 and 0.50% depending on the customer s recipe. Ingredients Control (%) Trial (%) Wheat flour (11% protein) Water Fresh yeast Salt Margarine Galimax Flavor TM K Total When the salt content is reduced, gluten poorly develops and the bread loses volume.
