Bakery and processing facilities
We have a well-equipped full-scale bakery with robust analytical capabilities.
The bakery and our skilled baker, researchers and engineers provide us with a broad and unique platform for research projects and product development. We can offer Norwegian agricultural producers and food manufacturers at all stages of the value chain tailor-made solutions to cater to their needs.
More specifically, we can provide in-depth analysis of baking and dough properties, protein and gluten quality, physical and chemical product characteristics (functional characteristics) which includes analysis of both the texture and taste of high-quality products.
