Baking Industry Research Trust (BIRT), NZ

During October 2023 BIRT ran technology transfer seminars in Auckland and Christchurch, New Zealand for cereals producers, millers and bakers.  BakeTran’s contributions to the events were presentations on ‘Flour Characteristics & Reports’ and ‘Energy Transfer in CBP Mixing Equipment – Managing Dough Development’.  In addition to the seminar presentations, BakeTran visited a number of commercial bakeries to provide technical insights into breadmaking and the NZ Plant & Food Research facility in Christchurch to discuss the fundamentals of dough mixing.
