India, Sept. 5 -- For commercial bakers, reformulating products to meet clean-label expectations, using simple, transparent and recognizable ingredients while still delivering shelf life and consistency has become one of the most urgent challenges in the industry. At IBIE 2025, the largest baking industry trade show in the Western Hemisphere,Corbionwill showcase how it is helping bakeries close that gap by combining technical insight, application expertise, and practical innovation to deliver better outcomes across operations.
Corbion's portfolio, built on natural fermentation, is designed to help bakers address these challenges head-on. The company's approach tackles the most persistent obstacles in the industry: ingredient complexity, waste production, and growing consumer expectations for naturally derived products. With demand for clean-label offerings increasing, bakers need solutions that do more than meet formulation goals. They need to protect product quality, eating experience, and performance while balancing any added cost or process changes.
To support those needs,Corbionwill introduce Ultra Fresh Plus 100, a label-friendly solution developed to replace synthetic emulsifiers while preserving the softness, sliceability, and freshness consumers expect. It gives bakers a way to maintain quality and consistency while simplifying formulation and reducing loss on the line, solving a core challenge in clean-label reformulation.
Corbionwill also highlight its expanded line of natural mold inhibitors and acidifiers, which help reduce spoilage and extend shelf life without synthetic preservatives. For bakers navigating better-for-you development,Corbionoffers support in bringing high-protein, low-sugar, and fiber-rich products to market without compromising eating experience.
To help bakers stay ahead of what's next,Corbionwill share insights into evolving consumer eating behaviors including GLP-1-related appetite shifts and the growing role of functional snacking. These trends are shaping new expectations in the bakery aisle, andCorbionis helping manufacturers translate them into product success.
"What we're showcasing at IBIE reflects what we're hearing from bakers every day - the need to simplify without sacrificing quality, and the urgency of making clean-label work in real production environments," said Mark Hotze, Vice President of North America atCorbion. "Our goal is to deliver practical, forward-thinking solutions that help bakers keep moving."
That perspective will also shapeCorbion's contribution to the State of the Baking Industry Panels at IBIE, where leaders will join the discussion on how bakery professionals are adapting to rising reformulation demands and shifting consumer behaviors. In addition,Corbionexperts will participate in several IBIEducate sessions, covering topics from sustainable food systems, ingredient functionality, talent pipeline development, and future-focused bakery innovation, offering practical, real-world insight from the field.
