New Gluten-Free Bread Binder Simplifies the Recipe — and Boosts Bread Quality10.6.2026 08:00:00 CEST | Press release
FERM FOOD ApS is launching a gluten-free, fermented binder for industrial bakeries. The new binder solves well-known challenges in gluten-free bread production from loose structure and crumbliness to the use of many separate additives. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260609204052/en/ Image: FERM FOOD's new bread binder makes it possible to reduce the number of additives in both white and dark bread. The bread binder makes it possible to reduce the number of additives in the recipe and improve structure, sliceability, and taste. "Our new gluten-free bread binder has been developed to make production simpler and more flavourful. When one binder can replace several functional components, it becomes easier for industrial bakers to standardise recipes, cut down on the number of ingredients, and add a deeper, slightly tangy, and more complex flavour — similar to what you know from sourdough bread," says Søren Lange,
