Puratos’ Taste Tomorrow research shows that 60% of consumers are actively seeking more protein, creating an opportunity to bring protein-enriched versions of familiar bakery favorites to market.

“Protein is moving beyond specialty products and sports nutrition into the bakery foods people eat every day,” said Constance Macri, R&D Manager, Bakery Mixes & Improvers, Puratos USA. “The challenge is adding nutrition while preserving the softness, flavor and quality people expect.”

ProteinPro Strength supports breads, rolls and bagels where volume and softness are critical. ProteinPro Flex provides versatility for buns, flatbreads and other staples. Depending on formulation, products can qualify as a good or excellent source of protein and fiber.

Developed for commercial bakeries, the ready-to-use mixes reduce the complexity of protein enrichment and help bakers bring protein-enriched products to market faster.

“Adding protein sounds simple until you manufacture it consistently at scale,” Macri said. “Protein affects water absorption, dough handling and finished-product quality. ProteinPro helps bakers spend less time troubleshooting and more time meeting demand.”

With ProteinPro, bakers can respond to growing demand for protein while keeping familiar bakery favorites at the center of the opportunity.
