Bakery Cafes are profitable business - A survey
Bakery Cafe s have reported spectacular growth in recent economic slowdown .Manufacturing has been hit by the cost escalation how ever the bakery cafes are in expansion mode . A recent survey by Technomic tells us all.
According to Technomic’s new study, the 2009 Technomic Top 25 Bakery Cafe Chains Restaurant Report, system-wide sales for the bakery-café industry grew 12 percent in 2008 to $4.5 billion, led by Panera Bread, Einstein Bros. Bagels and Au Bon Pain, with $2.6 billion, $393 million and $307 million respectively.
"The consumer trade-down from full-service to limited-service formats that solidified through 2008 and into 2009 allowed fast-casual bakery cafes to truly shine," said Darren Tristano, executive vice president at Technomic.

Packaging Cost Reduction - Few Ideas from Hormel Foods
Austin, Minn. Dec. 3 - Following its reduction of 5.2 million pounds of product packaging in 2008, Hormel Foods Corporation is proud to announce the results of several new packaging projects.
“Our new initiatives build on about 40 packaging reduction projects completed in 2008 and reflect the way we continuously look for means to improve the packaging of our products and reduce our environmental footprint,” said Daniel S. Miller, Research and Development manager of packaging development at Hormel Foods. “In this process, we work with our suppliers to find innovative solutions.”
New packaging reduction highlights and projected savings include:
The elimination of extra room in the Jennie-O Turkey Store® burgers carton is expected to have an annual paperboard savings of more than 175,000 pounds.
Lloyd’s® barbeque tubs no longer have an extra paper sleeve. This modification will eliminate enough solid waste to fill 22 garbage trucks and save more than 660,000 pounds of paper fiber annually.
Reducing the thickness of the glass used to produce each jar of Hormel® bacon bits will produce annual material savings around 411,000 pounds.
Reconfiguration of the shipping box for Hormel® Compleats® microwave meals removed 23 percent of the material required to make the previous corrugated packaging box and generated an annual materials savings of 1.2 million pounds. In addition, changes to the size of the carton flaps of the product and reallocation of materials resulted in annual savings of more than 980 million pounds of solid waste.
Hormel® party trays packaging was redesigned to eliminate the need for shrink wrap to produce an annual savings of approximately 100,000 pounds. The corrugated case to ship the product will be smaller, resulting in a corrugated material savings of more than 174,000 pounds per year.
Redesign of the shipping box for Hormel® pork ribs, butts and bone-in offers more strength while creating an annual corrugated materials savings of about 2.4 million pounds.
Reducing the height, width and length of each box used to ship Hormel® pepperoni, increased the amount of product on each pallet, saving materials and reducing the number of trailers needed each year. The anticipated savings is 188,000 pounds of wood fiber annually and 49,000 pounds of corrugated.
Changes to the shipping of canned food products made by Hormel Foods will result in efficiencies that reduce the number of pallets needed annually by 14,573 and require less plastic and bundling film.
These packaging reduction projects are part of the overall corporate responsibility strategy and goals set by Hormel Foods.

How to control dough temperature during bread/biscuit manufacturing process
Temperature plays a vital role in dough consistency which in turn impact the quality of bread or biscuit . Bakers have to maintain the dough temperature after mixing for better results after baking . Ambient temperature varies as per the season s a expert bakers has to arrange various method to maintain dough temperature . Average temperature maintained could be different in different locations .However temperature ranging from 28 –32 deg c provides better results at this part of the world .
Following factors effects dough temperature
- Mixing duration
- Water temperature
- Ingredients temperature
Jacketed Mixers
All Mixers Manufacturers have Mixers with jackets around the mixer body . Operators can feed this jackets with cold or hot water as per requirement . Cold water is circulated through chilling plants .Hot water generally circulated by boilers or hot water generators .
Ingredient Temperature
Dough temperatures get impacted by ingredients temperatures.Ingredients with low temperature can be fed into mixers to maintain dough temperatures . Areas where ambient temperature reached 45 – 40 deg c its important to store this ingredients in cold storages or air conditioned places.
Ice Addition
Some places Ice is added manually to maintain dough temperatures or for certain varieties like choco chips ice is added to maintain the dough temperatures so as chips does not starts melting during the process.
Other methods used in most advanced bakeries are

United Biscuits ( UB )presence in International Market
UB International (UBI) drives the marketing and sales of UB’s biscuits and snacks around the world. Well known European brands are increasingly becoming loved internationally and UBI develops markets and availability. This is achieved either through direct representation in these countries or through an authorised distributor.
UBI uses a consumer led approach for key brands in key markets. It aims to meet consumer needs in the three main global snacking trends – health, pleasure and convenience. This consumer focus, combined with excellent products and relevant brand values, has made UBI a growth engine of the UB group.
To further accelerate this growth, UBI is increasing its marketing investment in key markets, in addition to entering into new markets with great potential.
Our key markets
Canada, USA, Sweden, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Middle East, Australia, India and Nigeria.
Our key brands
McVitie’s, Fruit & Form, Carr’s, Delacre and BN
Case study - Nigeria
An good example of UB International is seen in Nigeria. McVitie’s has been a recognised and established brand within Nigeria since the 1980s when it was the number one imported biscuit brand.
A Government embargo on imported biscuits resulted in UB’s biscuits being banned and subsequently sales were lost in the Nigerian market. In order to maintain a presence in this market, UB set up a local co-manufacturing agreement to make biscuits in Nigeria.
UB International is now re-building distribution and expanding production capabilities to develop a range of locally Nigerian produced products to meet consumer demand.
Marketing efforts need to work creatively to take advantage of the opportunities in a developing market. Significant efforts have been put into developing a route to market, including the aptly named “go slow” – an important route to market for FMCG. In the capital, Lagos, constant traffic jams create rolling malls where the “go slow boys” sell products between the cars. Depending on the time of day, drivers are offered different products and McVitie’s Digestive time is mid-morning.
Although there are around 500,000 stores in Nigeria, only 20 of these are supermarkets. The vast majority of stores are small kiosks or simply tabletops. A successful piece of POS designed to adapt to such stores has been the introduction of a hanger, which is used to hang 10 packs of McVitie’s Digestives. This is used extensively and has the added advantage of acting as a hanging billboard for the brand.
In 2008 UB International is expecting sales from Nigeria to be six times more in volume than in 2007.
Case study – Middle East
McVitie’s Digestive is very popular in the Middle East, outperforming the growth of the biscuit category. UB International’s core business in the Middle East comes from McVitie’s Digestive, McVitie’s Digestive Light, McVitie’s Chocolate Digestive and McVitie’ HobNobs. Lead markets are Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and Ub has a very effective operational structure that makes its products available in the entire Gulf.
Revenue in the Middle East region is growing due to new product launches, marketing support and excellent execution of displays in store.
In some areas McVitie’s Light Digestive is out performing McVitie’s Original Digestive. This has encouraged UB International to launch Fruit & Form biscuits to further meet the consumer health trend. The reception by the trade has been so positive that some retailers have positioned the biscuits both with the cereal bars and in the 'health' aisle.

A successful piece of POS designed to adapt to such stores has been the introduction of a hanger, which is used to hang 10 packs of McVitie’s Digestives. This is used extensively and has the added advantage of acting as a hanging billboard for the brand.
In 2008 UB International is expecting sales from Nigeria to be six times more in volume than in 2007.
Case study – Middle East
McVitie’s Digestive is very popular in the Middle East, outperforming the growth of the biscuit category. UB International’s core business in the Middle East comes from McVitie’s Digestive, McVitie’s Digestive Light, McVitie’s Chocolate Digestive and McVitie’ HobNobs. Lead markets are Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and Ub has a very effective operational structure that makes its products available in the entire Gulf.
Revenue in the Middle East region is growing due to new product launches, marketing support and excellent execution of displays in store.
In some areas McVitie’s Light Digestive is out performing McVitie’s Original Digestive. This has encouraged UB International to launch Fruit & Form biscuits to further meet the consumer health trend. The reception by the trade has been so positive that some retailers have positioned the biscuits both with the cereal bars and in the 'health' aisle.

Air Pollution and emission norms in bakeries
Even though Bakery Industry is a low polluting industry but for the ovens , boilers ,hot water generators ,DG sets they all come under the Air pollution act due to emission of flue gases through stack . Acts prescribes limits on the emission and stack height and in addition to it covers noise pollution with it .Various countries have different values . We would cover Indian Standards.
Bigger plants with more than two or three production line of Bread or Biscuit ovens with six or seven zones can emit considerable amount of flue gases which consists of carbon monoxides, Sulphur Oxides ,Nitrogen oxides which are dangerous for health and if not monitored can result in polluting neighbourhood .
Emission limits and stack parameter as per the Act .CPCB ( Central Pollution Control Board) national air ambient quality
Stack Height = 15meter or more
NOX-50ppm
SOX-80ppm
CO-4mg/cum
SPM-100ppm
Air pollution can be minimised with following steps

Air pollution can be minimised with following steps
- Use flue gas analyser for stack monitoring in regular intervals
- Do regular burner maintenance
- Substitute if possible diesel oil to LPG or Natural Gas
- Use high pressure monoblock burners
- Get low sulphur diesel oil
Noise Pollution can be controlled by following steps
Safe limit prescribed in Act is 70 db in night time and 75 db in day time as CPCB standards
- Monitor noise through decibel meter .
- DG set room to be to be lined with acoustic lining
- Maintain equipment with maintenance schedule s
- Use equipments with enclosure
- Use screw compressors instead of reciprocating compressor
- Silencers in stack for DG Sets.
- Put anti - vibration pad where ever possible for machinery .
