Learn from us: Tips, Tricks & Trends Healthy Gluten-Free, Trans-fat-free Bakery Solutions by Palmboom®

Smart Bakers, have you noticed recently how often you see or hear the term “gluten-free”, especially on bakery products? This term is increasingly prevalent and has become a trend as consumer awareness of eating healthier foods grows, leading them to limit the intake of certain foods, including gluten.

Going gluten-free is not just a trend, Smart Bakers. Initially, a gluten-free diet was intended for people with a gluten intolerance, marked by conditions like celiac disease or an allergy to gluten content. But now, it has evolved into a healthy lifestyle trend, and many consumers are switching to gluten-free bakery products.

Professional Master Chef Koko Hidayat, sees the gluten-free trend as a profitable business opportunity. “Smart Bakers can be creative in creating gluten-free bakery products, not only for consumers who cannot consume regular bakery items but also for those who want to lead a healthier lifestyle.”

For Smart Bakers who are still confused about starting to make gluten-free bread and cakes, Chef Koko Hidayat recommends first understanding the ingredients that contain gluten and choosing high-nutrient ingredients. For instance, replacing wheat flour with rice flour, mocaf flour, sorghum flour, or hunkwe flour, and adding fruit as toppings. Smart Bakers can try the Strawberry Peach Gluten Free Dessert Box or the Lapis Legit Spekoek Gluten Free for gluten-free bakery business inspiration.

But, leading a healthy lifestyle isn’t just about avoiding gluten, Smart Bakers. There’s another thing to be cautious about, which is the trans fat content in the foods we eat. Trans fats, also known as trans fatty acids, are components often found in various processed foods, especially cakes, bread, and pastries. Trans fats can increase bad cholesterol (LDL) and decrease good cholesterol (HDL) in the body. Continuous consumption of trans fats can increase health risks.

Don’t worry, Palmboom® is here as a solution! Since 2018, Palmboom® has received the “Trans Fat Free” label as a result of intensive research and development. This step is part of Palmboom®’s commitment to consumer health in providing high-quality products that support a healthy lifestyle.

Senior Brand Manager of Sinar Mas, Stefanus Edo revealed, “In Indonesia, many margarine producers still use partial hydrogenation in margarine production. However, this method is a health issue because it can produce harmful trans fats.”

“Considering the dangers of trans fats to health, Palmboom®, a quality margarine trusted for decades, is committed to innovation in providing products that are not only safe for health but also environmentally friendly,” he added.

Let’s start your bakery business transformation with Palmboom®! Available in two product choices, Palmboom® Margarine and Palmboom® Cake Margarine, both offer advantages for various applications in baking.

Palmboom® Margarine is a versatile margarine that has a buttery aroma with a fruity sensation, suitable for a wide range of bakery creations, such as cakes, biscuits, and sweet breads. Additionally, due to its good creaming ability, Palmboom® Margarine can also be used as a filling cream for cakes.

Palmboom® Cake Margarine is a margarine that features stable plasticity and texture, resulting in a softer texture in cakes and bread, and provides a lasting fruity butter aroma that withstands baking, making the cake outcome softer and moist.

For educational methods and consumer introduction, Mr. Edo stated, “Through social media and environmentally friendly packaging updates, Palmboom® and Smartpluspro always strive to educate consumers about the health benefits of our trans fat-free products. We also include nutritional information and the trans fat-free logo on the packaging to provide more transparency to consumers.”
