Completed customer project with RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden): In-situ investigation of air bubbles formation of convective and microwave-convective baked bread by high-resolution Synchrotron CT

RISE, Research Institutes of Sweden, is an independent, state-owned research institute. As an innovation partner for the entire society, RISE develops technologies, products, services, and processes contributing to a sustainable world and competitive industry. RISE collaborates with and on behalf of the academia, private and public sector. Particular focus is placed on supporting small and medium-sized companies in their innovation processes.

Bread is a worldwide staple food, and baking industries across the globe supply food to millions of people every day. The oven is the largest energy consumer in industrial bakeries, leading more companies to explore new ways of baking bread. The combination of microwave and convective baking offers an energy-efficient way to bake bread in a shorter processing time. It could potentially help the industry overcome the challenge of reducing baking times while at the same time maintaining desired bread volume and quality properties.
