“It all goes back to understanding our customers and North American consumers,” said Walt Postelwait, president of Pak Group, Pasadena. “Industry sales in the buns/rolls/croissants category neared the $2 billion mark in 2015, and with demand for clean label breads only rising, development of a clean label Hawaiian roll solution made sense.”

The roll improver enhances crumb structure, resilience and shelf life in Hawaiian-style rolls, he said.

The roll improver contains wheat flour, yeast, natural enzymes, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and natural flavors, said Cam Suárez-Bitár, marketing coordinator for Pak Group NA. It has no sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL), monocalcium phosphate, ammonium sulfate, sodium silicoaluminate or diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM).
