  • NEW BRANDING 🌾🍞⭐ We are thrilled to unveil our new logo—a redesign that fully embodies the evolution of our company and the affirmation of our core values! Some of you discovered it yesterday at our booth at Sirha Lyon…. Today, we are officially unveiling our new logo, which is resolutely more modern and deeply rooted in what drives us every day: our commitment to the wheat-flour-bread value chain and to people, who are at the heart of everything we do. Because we firmly believe in collaboration, sharing, and strong partnerships, we have integrated a human symbol into our logo through the "i," representing our determination to move forward together with our employees, partners, and clients. The wheat grain icon, a graphic element shared with Episens by InVivo—of which we are a part—reminds us of our profession and our deep connection to the wheat-flour-bread value chain. This logo is more than just a graphic update; it’s a way to reaffirm our mission, our ambitions, and our commitment to strengthening our role as a trusted partner for millers, artisan bakers, and industrial bakers alike. Thank you to everyone who contributes to this incredible journey every day. Keep going! 🌾🍞⭐ #branding #together #bakery #milling #ingredientsolutions

  • At AIT Ingredients, our flour analysis doesn’t just meet industry standards—it exceeds them, providing bakers across Africa with precision and quality. Here’s how we go beyond: • Moisture Content (NIR & PBS MC Analyzer): Proper moisture levels ensure flour stability, shelf life, and profitability. Low moisture content prevents mold and pests, while high moisture can lead to quality issues. • Ash Content (Muffle Furnace & High-Temperature Incineration): Ash levels impact milling yield and flour color, ensuring a bright finish in baked goods. • Alpha Amylase Activity (Falling Number): This test monitors enzyme activity to maintain dough structure and prevent sticky crumbs. • Mixolab 2: A game-changer in analyzing dough behavior during baking conditions, studying hydration, enzymatic activity, and starch gelatinization. With these tools, AIT Ingredients ensures that millers and bakers have the precise insights they need to create exceptional products. Our African teams are equipped with the expertise and technology to meet your flour improvement needs, from diagnostics to delivery. aitafrica@soufflet.com #AITIngredients #AITAfrica #BeyondIngredients #Bakery #Milling

  • At AIT Ingredients, we believe that great baked goods begin with understanding the flour we treat and improve. Across Africa, our commitment to excellence drives us to invest in advanced equipment to analyse every component of flour. Here’s why this is crucial: • Protein Content (NIR): Protein influences water absorption, gluten strength, and dough development. It’s key to achieving the desired texture and appearance of baked goods. • Wet & Dry Gluten, Gluten Index (Glutomatic): Gluten defines the elasticity and extensibility of dough. Understanding its levels helps us ensure optimal dough performance. • Starch Damage (Chopin SDmatic & NIR): Starch damage can improve water absorption, but excessive damage leads to sticky dough and reduced bread volume. Our analysis ensures a perfect balance. By using cutting-edge equipment, we deliver tailored solutions for millers and bakers, ensuring consistent quality from the first knead to the final crumb. aitafrica@soufflet.com #AITIngredients #AITAfrica #BeyondIngredients #Bakery #Milling
