Under the motto ‘Bake the world a little better’, ingredient and spice expert RAPS will present its solutions for the bakery industry at the international bakery trade fair iba in Düsseldorf, Germany, from May 18-22, 2025. The spotlight will be on the company’s functional coating technologies and a wide range of savoury fillings and toppings, many of which are also available in vegan versions.
As the bakery sector continues to evolve, RAPS supports manufacturers and bakery chains with highly functional and ready-to-use ingredients for doughs, fillings and toppings. At iba, the company will demonstrate how its innovations contribute to improved flavour and performance in baked goods and snacks.
A key technology on display will be Coatec, RAPS’ proprietary microencapsulation process. It protects sensitive core ingredients with a functional coating, shielding them from temperature, humidity and oxidation for improved stability and controlled release.
Flavourful fillings
RAPS offers a wide range of savoury fillings and toppings based on vegetables, herbs, meat, fish and dairy – also available in plant-based versions, thus helping bakeries and food manufacturers to meet growing demand for vegan alternatives.
From plant-based meat or fish substitutes to dairy-free options such as vegan cream cheese, yogurt-style bases and vegetable-forward creations with bold seasoning – the components can be used flexibly as fillings, toppings and bases for innovative baked snacks and savoury pastries.
Technologically advanced and ready to use
The plant-based fillings are freeze-thaw and bake-stable, ready to use and produced using a gentle cold-process method that ensures high quality and easy handling. From small packs to large stainless steel containers, RAPS offers a range of flexible packaging solutions to suit every need.
Taste, texture and viscosity can be tailored to individual specifications. Clean label versions are also available, offering manufacturers targeted solutions to succeed in the fast-growing market for plant-based, baked goods.
