Innophos returns as a presenter at the American Society of Baking’s (ASB) Annual BakingTECH Event and Expo from February 27 – 29, 2024 at the Hilton Chicago. BakingTECH is one of the largest events of its kind bringing together thousands of attendees, including scientists, food professionals, and exhibiting companies from around the globe.

The presentation will feature LEVAIR® Select, a non-aluminum leavening solution from Innophos, that aids bakers seeking to meet consumer concerns about aluminum in their products or to comply with pending or existing regulatory requirements. LEVAIR® Select performs as a functional alternative to SALP (Sodium Aluminum Phosphate), providing a resilient crumb structure and supporting bench, line, and floor tolerance while offering added benefits like added calcium and reduced sodium.

In addition to detailing the benefits of LEVAIR® Select, Paige Nehar will address:

• How consumer trends and U.S. retailers are driving change to remove aluminum from baked goods
• Case studies on the impact of LEVAIR® Select on texture as a replacement for traditional SALP

Additionally, David Okapal, R&D Manager at Crown Bakeries, will provide a testimonial on his experience using LEVAIR® Select in specific baking products.

“We are excited to return to BakingTECH to showcase LEVAIR® Select, one of our most innovative leavening solutions to help our partners and customers meet new regulatory standards without sacrificing quality or texture,” said Karen Winkowski, Vice President of Technology at Innophos. “Paige’s presentation is timely as more retailers put pressure on bakers to find alternatives to SALP in their baking formulations.”
