Product information
The body of the cookie is made of choux pastry in the shape of an eclair

Product information based on the research report “Innovative technology for the production of choux pastry” – work carried out from January 2020 to October 2020 and based on the implemented innovative technology for the production of choux pastry.

Research works

The BRZEŚĆ Sipa spółka komandytowa company started conducting research work from January 2020 to October 2020. A team consisting of company employees was established to conduct R&D work. As a result of the research and development work, a product was created called “Eclair-shaped choux pastry cookie body” and improved choux pastry cookie bodies and choux pastry products were created.

“Eclair-shaped choux pastry body” is a product with features and functionalities not available in products currently offered nationwide. This product has innovative features from the point of view of the confectionery industry, it is dried to a level of 2-3%, which allows the shelf life to be extended to several months. The product currently available on the market has a humidity of 15-20% and its shelf life is only a few days.

Confectioners receiving our innovative product will be able to stuff it with all kinds of fillings of their choice, e.g. sweet or savory, thus saving, among others, time, energy, gas and raw materials.

Implementation of innovative technology for the production of choux pastry

On December 15, 2023, devices and machines purchased under the project co-financed by the European Union (Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego), measure 3.2.2 Operational Program Smart Growth 2014-2020, such as:
Baking line
Beater
Dryer
Flour silo
Oil tank
Internalization system
Automatic and dense pallet storage system
An innovative technology for the production of choux pastry has been implemented

Line building process (baking line)

Line building process (beater)

Flour silo, oil tank

Inertization (oxygen reduction) system for warehouse space for an automatic high-bay warehouse

The purpose of the oxygen reduction system is to provide fire protection to the facility by preventing fire from occurring.

The goal is achieved by reducing and maintaining the oxygen content at an appropriate, safe level, usually <15%, at which the material will not ignite.

RESULT OF THE IMPLEMENTED TECHNOLOGY

Changes in existing technology allowed for shortening the dough preparation time.

Within 24 hours, using the new technology for the production of choux pastry, we managed to prepare and bake a larger amount of dough than before.

The dough preparation system is programmed so that the given amount of raw materials is accurately measured or weighed and fed to the mixer at the appropriate time and order. The shape and weight of the raw dough are determined by a properly programmed dosing system installed on the oven.

Appropriate oven settings in terms of temperatures in individual sections and appropriate evaporation resulted in a repeatable product, and drying in a dryer resulted in a product that is currently not available on the market.

Indicators such as: reducing the consumption of energy and/or gas used in the production process will be monitored throughout 2024 and their achievement will be sent to BGK in accordance with the provisions of the co-financing agreement and the annex to the co-financing agreement.

As a result of innovative technology for the production of choux pastry, we have obtained products with a shape appropriate to the given product

and size, the products have a characteristic rough surface and internal porosity, light brown color. The products gained the right taste and the smell is repeatable in each batch.

The body of the eclair-shaped choux pastry cookie, when cut, has large air chambers, typical of choux pastry. It is characterized by appropriate volume, convex, elongated shape, equal across the entire width, narrow.

The consistency of the product is brittle and crunchy. Characteristic taste and smell, specific to a given product, ensuring suitability for consumption, without the addition of preservatives.

The product has a moisture content of 2-3%, which indicates the possibility of extending the shelf life.

The use of radio waves allowed the shelf life to be extended without the need to use preservatives – clean label

Extension of shelf life

Eclair-shaped choux pastry bodies offered in confectionery shops after baking and cooling before filling with e.g. creams, whipped cream, have humidity in the range of 15-20%. – therefore their usefulness for consumption is several days.

In the new developed technology – Choux pastry dough body with shape eclair (without filling) is dried to the level of 2%-3%. Product humidity – 2-3% makes the product stable at an angle microbiological, it does not get moldy, and neither do its organoleptic parameters will change. The product is useful for consumption for up to 180 days.
