Papendrecht / NL. (aacc) Many professionals in the field of bakery and cereal products R+D are very well aware of the negative health aspects of salt in our diet and of the urgency to decrease the salt level. It is also known to you that bread and cereal based products contribute substantially to our daily salt consumption. Reduction of salt in bread and bakery products is therefore urgently required. Nevertheless only a few countries in Europe are actively reducing the salt content in bread.
On the other hand salt has an important beneficial technological function – next to taste – in the processing of bread dough and cereals in general. It is not surprising therefore that in the cereal processing and bakery sector there are objections in reducing the salt content. Exemplary are the protests of the German baking industry conveyed in the European Parliament recently.
As the topic of salt reduction is a matter of large debate in the cereal processing and baking industry, a symposium specifically devoted to this sector is desperately needed to inform the academic and industrial R+D professionals and to structure the debate.
Therefore Cereals+Europe, the European section of AACC International and the largest organisation of R+D professionals in the cereal based product area in Europe, is planning a two day symposium on this topic on 22nd to 23rd March 2010, in the Netherlands entitled «Bakery Products and Cereals: Are They Worth Their Salt?».
