West Hall — 3855
IFF, a global leader in flavours, fragrances, food ingredients, and biosciences, proudly introduces POWERFRESH® ACE 2000 to the U.S. market. This cutting-edge enzyme solution is designed to help industrial bakeries deliver bread with longer-lasting softness, improved resilience, and consistent quality throughout its shelf life. Tailored to meet the evolving demands of American consumers and bakery operations, POWERFRESH® ACE 2000 represents a major innovation in fresh-keeping .
In today’s market, bakeries face increasing pressure from rising ingredient costs and growing consumer expectations for freshness. Recent research shows that 60% of U.S. consumers are more likely to buy bread labeled as “fresher for longer,” and over half expect at least four days of freshness at the time of purchase 1. POWERFRESH® ACE 2000 directly addresses these expectations by improving softness and resilience for up to 34 days, helping industrial bakeries reduce waste, simplify inventory, and maintain product quality without added strain.
POWERFRESH® ACE 2000 performs well across both white and whole-wheat bread applications. In IFF-led trials, the enzyme consistently delivered superior resilience and maintained structural integrity and visual appeal, even at lower dosage levels compared to other market options. The result is a stable loaf with excellent texture and mouthfeel that retains its soft, easy-to-butter quality for days after purchase, delighting consumers preferences.
Bread remains a staple in American households, and expectations for quality are constant. IFF recognizes that industrial bakeries need smarter, more efficient solutions to meet these demands. POWERFRESH® ACE 2000 is designed to be a reliable partner for bakers, enabling them to produce high-quality bread with the delicious texture and freshness consumers expect every time.
