The gap between 'source of protein' and 'high-protein' on bread packaging is narrower than most formulators assume. This piece unpacks the exact numerical thresholds behind EU and US claims, where conventional loaves already sit and what it actually takes to cross into high-protein territory.

A fibre ingredient developed over 15 years by Imperial College London and the University of Glasgow has received EU Novel Food approval and bread is one of its target applications.

As GLP-1 therapies reshape eating habits, HIFOOD's nutrient density systems help bakers enrich fibre and protein content -without sacrificing the texture, taste and mouthfeel consumers expect.

New research reveals that apple pomace, the solid byproduct of juice and cider pressing, may support metabolic health in two powerful ways: inhibiting glucose absorption and stimulating GLP-1 secretion, the same appetite-regulating hormone targeted by weight-loss drugs like Ozempic. Far from being waste, pomace could be a functional ingredient delivering real, cumulative health benefits through everyday foods.

The science of baking has never been more exciting. Spring 2026 explores the research reshaping nutrition, ingredients and technology across the baking industry.

Food fortification is evolving beyond public health into personalised nutrition, driven by consumer demand, GLP-1 medication trends and functional food innovation.

Nexture's Generate programme has opened its 2026 startup call, targeting enzyme innovation, palm alternatives and next-generation gluten technology — with direct implications for industrial bakery formulation roadmaps.
