Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rising consumer demand for elevated sensory experiences and enhanced nutritional value in bakery products has driven the development and implementation of innovative strategies within the food sector. Diverse approaches are being employed to enhance both the taste and health profile of baked goods. Notably, there is a growing focus on wholesome and functional ingredients, which not only provide nutritive value and sensory properties, but also adapt products to meet specific human health conditions and dietary restrictions. Moreover, recent advancements in baking technologies have given rise to the controlled fermentation process, aiming to improve digestibility and the overall nutritional quality. Environmental sustainability is addressed through the use of food industry by-products and packaging solutions that extend shelf life without compromising freshness, responding to growing consumer awareness. The dynamic interplay between innovation, nutrition and flavour promises a future where consumers can enjoy baked goods that cater to their diverse needs while indulging in unparalleled sensory experience.
