CSM Ingredients has launched Tiger Granulat, a powdered reformulation of its Tiger Paste designed for application across artisanal and industrial bakery operations. The ready-to-use decorative ingredient delivers an extra crispy crust and savoury finish on bread and baked goods.

Powder format addresses production flexibility

The granulated version translates the visual and sensory characteristics of Tiger Paste into a powder format developed for greater application flexibility and performance on industrial production lines.

Unlike the original paste, the powder form allows precise, individual dosing to modulate flavour intensity and visual impact according to specific product requirements and target markets.

Tiger Granulat is applied directly to the dough surface before baking, without additional mixing steps. During baking, it develops a characteristic extra crunchy crust with a distinctive decorative effect.

Compatible with existing application methods

The powder suits manual or mechanical application methods, including sprinkling, rolling or pressing. This compatibility with both artisanal practices and automated industrial lines supports operational efficiency whilst ensuring consistent results across batches.

The ready-to-use format eliminates preparation steps, and the ease of handling addresses requirements for manufacturers operating different production scales.

Applications across savoury bakery categories

Tiger Granulat functions on all types of bread and small savoury baked goods. Applications include baguettes and bread loaves for distinctive crust and shelf appeal, rustic and speciality breads requiring enhanced texture and visual identity, focaccia and flatbreads needing added crunch and savoury character, and pretzels and baked snacks requiring extra crispy texture.

The ingredient enables portfolio differentiation, transforming standard bread formats into recognizable premium products at point of sale.

Addressing market requirements

Bakery products increasingly compete on texture and visual appeal alongside taste. Bakers and manufacturers require solutions that are easy to use, reliable and adaptable to different processes and production scales.

Tiger Granulat responds to these requirements by offering a decorative ingredient that supports operational needs without compromising sensory quality or visual impact. The product reflects CSM Ingredients' development of established concepts into formats meeting changing production requirements.
