Working in collaboration at our Food Lab in Piscataway, New Jersey, we apply tailored solutions to help our partners overcome formulation challenges and deliver an ideal eating experience in pan breads, pizza, bagels, and more.

Encore Strong™

Our Encore Strong ingredients improve gluten development for dough strength, volume, elasticity, and tolerance. Modifying the flour protein (gluten) to increase dough strength, Encore Strong can improve flour tolerance and oven spring. Whether accommodating for seasonal or process-related flour variability or overcoming the challenges of working with whole grains, Encore Strong delivers unprecedented control over processing and product quality.

Encore Relax™

When a formula requires additional dough length or pan fill, Encore Relax allows for unprecedented control over processing and product quality. By breaking down flour protein (gluten), Encore Relax reduces elasticity, increases extensibility, and shortens mix times to optimize consistency and quality of the finished baked good.

Encore Plus™ 

Our Encore Plus ingredients include multifaceted solutions, such as a clean label reformulation that also delivers shelf life extension and anti-staling benefits.
