Troubleshooting

List of most common problems in the production process

1. Imbalances in recipe formulation

Check the process from the beginning with raw material specifications, recipe formulation and process steps.

Many product defects are due to the kneading procedure, the properties of the dough after kneading, the temperature of the dough, and processing.

  • Firm, dense, crumbly, nuanced
  • Irregular porous structure with holes
  • Bark separation
  • Gray, atypical color of the crumb

Common defect in cookies, biscuits and snack products.

Often caused by multiple factors, sometimes just the negative impact of the environment.

Product wrinkles and crumbles when cooled/frozen.

  • Bubbles
  • Sinking
  • Lack of color
  • Tilt, drop, top flight
  • Unpleasant taste
  • Sour and/or bitter taste
  • Flavor imbalance
  • Bad smell
  • Tasteless products
  • Reduction of flaking
  • Layers that stick together
  • Excessive shrinkage

1.Imbalances in the formulation of recipes

Check the process from the beginning with raw material specifications, recipe formulation and process steps.

2. Homogeneity of the dough

Many product defects are due to the kneading procedure, the properties of the dough after kneading, the temperature of the dough, and processing.

4. Checking

Common defect in cookies, biscuits and snack products.

5. Shrinkage of products during and after baking

Often caused by multiple factors, sometimes just the negative impact of the environment.

6. Deformation and disintegration of the product after cooling or freezing

Product wrinkles and crumbles when cooled/frozen.

7. Defects in the bark

  • Bubbles.
  • Sinking.
  • Lack of color.
  • Tilt, drop, top flight.

8. Flavor/aroma

  • Unpleasant taste.
  • Sour and/or bitter taste.
  • Flavor imbalance.
  • Bad smell.
  • Tasteless products.

9. Low shelf life

10. Uneven layers in laminated products

  • Reduction of peeling.
  • Layers that stick together.
  • Excessive shrinkage.
