Gluten-Free Bakery

Consumers who follow plant-based AND gluten-free diets have very limited bakery options, as gluten-free applications rely heavily on egg albumen. In these formulations, the presence of eggs helps to make up for the absence of gluten proteins. As such, there are few gluten-free options that are 100% plant-based and that can deliver on taste and texture for consumers. This is where Merit’s canola proteins can help! Manufacturers can now leverage our canola protein for its nucleation and gelation properties to develop gluten-free vegan-friendly formulas that deliver on the taste and texture consumers have come to expect with traditional baked goods.

Concept Selling Features:  

• Satisfying sensory experience
• Increased protein fortification
• Nucleation and gelation from canola protein
