14.30 – 15.15 hours: Role of (modified) starches in pre-dusts and batters – Mr. Florian Much, Application
Specialist, National Starch (Germany)
Modified starch is extensively used in coatings as a pre-dust and in batters. More adhesion and crispness can be obtained. In this presentation you will receive an update on starch modification in general and for food coatings in particular. Reasons of usage and future demands on coatings from a starch point of view will be discussed.
15.15 – 16.00 hours: Benefits of rice ingredients in food coatings -
Veerle De Bondt,
Food Application Manager, BENEO-Remy (Belgium)
Due to the special characteristics of rice starch as for morphology and internal amylose/amylopectine structure, rice ingredients are ideally suited to fine tune the desired texture of many different food products. When a customer is searching for improved creaminess (such as in fillings and desserts) or improved crunchiness and crispiness (such as in extrusion products and coatings), addition of a small dosage of the right rice ingredient can offer the solution. In traditional batter formulations, partial replacement of wheat flour by rice flour or rice starches has pronounced effects on the texture, eating quality and stability (e.g., during freeze-thawing) of the end product. Besides the interesting functionality of clean label rice ingredients, they also have a very attractive nutritional profile and a good consumer perception.
16.00 – 16.30 hours: Refreshment break
16.30 – 17.15 hours: Herbs, Spices and Flavourings in Batter and Breading Systems including flavour trends
– Mr. Kees den Uijl, Business Development Manager, Euroma (Netherlands)
The usage of flavour in food coatings is getting more and more popular. It gives the opportunities for variation in appearance and in flavour to a basic product and to follow flavour trends in specific countries. By a flavour or seasoning, a product can be tailored and personalized to satisfy specific needs of the customer. Moreover, it gives possibilities to enhance and increase the taste of salt- or
fat-reduced products by developing appetizing flavours. Herbs and spices are giving – apart form the taste - opportunities for decoration and colouring of the coated food product and both in a natural way. Flavours and aromas are important to give a specific direction to a taste. Critical success factors for building a seasoning of herbs, spices and flavours for coatings will be discussed, especially the heat stability. Trends in taste will be discussed as well.
17.15 – 17.30 hours: Discussion & Closing
18.00 hours: Leave for active evening programme at Restaurant Pandoer in Asten-Heusden
22.30 hours: Bus transfer back from Restaurant Pandoer in Asten-Heusden to Hotel
Seminar - Day 2 - 18 June2009

Session 4 Pre-dust and batter formulations (continued)
08.45 – 09.30 hours: Role of acids and alkalines including phosphates - Dr. Ulrike Fischer, Head of Business
Line Bakery / Business Line Meat, BK Giulini (Germany)
Phosphates shine in chemical leavening systems where acids react with an alkali, typically sodium bicarbonate, to produce carbon dioxide gas in batters. The resulting gas causes the matrix to form an open, honeycomb-like structure that greatly influences texture.
09.30 – 10.15 hours: Natural colours: choices and variables in coatings – Mr. Martyn Lock, Colours Product Manager, Overseal (United Kingdom)
A new trend in the breading industry is coating systems with different colored particulates.
The particulates result from special stable colours that don’t blacken or brown in the fryer.
10.15 – 10.45 hours: Refreshment break
Session 5 Breaders and crumbs trends
10.45 – 11.30 hours: Key Market Trends and how they translate to Coating Ingredient systems – Mr. Bartel Pyckhout, Principal Technologist Griffith
Laboratories Europe (Belgium)
Health, differentiating textures, authentic taste and cost management are amongst some of the key drivers of coated food product development where coating ingredient systems can play a strong role. Specific challenges on the health dimension that will be covered are managing the reduction of salt levels, the control of fat and creating an improved perception of health. The design of coating ingredient systems & associated processing techniques to address these market demands will be presented.
Session 6 Cooking technologies & innovations
11.30 - 12.15 hours: Innovations in cooking technologies – Mr. Paul Verbruggen, Product Manager Processing, CFS (Netherlands)
Cooking is an ever growing step in the process of producing attractive products. Essential cooking methods including frying & filtration are explained in this session and the relevant technologies will be reviewed and in particular two zone cooking, horizontal airflow, dewpoint cooking: what does it bring to the product quality, yield and capacity?
Three zone cooking with impingement: what is the added value for coated products and non - coated products?

This presentation focuses on the production of Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) products. Innovations in coating and mixing processes mean that food processors can efficiently enrobe and freeze foods in individual pieces to produce value added foods in a highly efficient way. The latest innovations in the use of Food Gas Technologies for freezing, rapid chilling, mixing and coating processes will be highlighted, showing how the gases can add to the overall quality of the finished product.
Session 8 Efficiency control
14.45 – 15.30 hours: Optimisation of operation cost - Mr. Jan Hennipman, Manager Business Analysis & Services, CFS (Netherlands)
The most important challenges in the food industry are: product variety, cost per pack, food safety and environment. All these challenges are cost related and as a next step these costs are represented by investment and operating costs including the raw materials. The manufacturing machinery purchase decision focus is more and more directed to the real operation costs. Consequently machine suppliers do involve themselves in the typical manufacturing cost savings and based on this dedicated process and operation skills are becoming one of the major assets to achieve a preferred supplier position. A good example is a complete value model showing the differences in the total operation costs based on individual machinery up to complete line solutions.
15.30 – 16.00 hours: Refreshment break
