CSM Ingredients launches Tiger Granulat to revolutionize bakery production
This innovative product represents the powdered evolution of the company’s iconic Tiger Paste, specifically engineered to provide bakers and industrial food manufacturers with a more versatile, ready-to-use solution for creating the popular “tiger” or “crackle” crust on savory baked goods.
LUXEMBOURG – CSM Ingredients, a Nexture company, has unveiled Tiger Granulat, a groundbreaking innovation designed to revolutionize bakery production for industrial and artisanal bakers worldwide.
Designed to provide a decorative, extra-crispy crust and a bold, savory finish, Tiger Granulat offers bakers and food manufacturers a practical, ready-to-use solution to enhance a wide range of bread and savory baked goods, from baguettes and loaves to focaccia, pretzels, and baked snacks.
The launch aligns with surging demand for efficient, high-performance dough conditioners amid rising costs and sustainability pressures in the food sector.
Tiger Granulat stands out as a premium granulated enzyme blend that enhances dough handling, fermentation control, and final product quality in bread, rolls, and specialty baked goods.
Building on the success and recognizability of Tiger Paste, Tiger Granulat translates the same distinctive visual and sensory signature into a powder format, specifically developed to ensure greater flexibility in application and optimal performance, also on industrial production lines.
Unlike traditional powder forms, its granular structure ensures superior dust-free processing, precise dosing, and extended shelf life, reducing waste and improving machinability in high-volume production lines.
Targeted at both European heartlands like France, Italy, and Benelux, and emerging markets in Asia and Africa, the product promises up to 20% improvements in volume yield and crumb softness while supporting clean-label trends with natural enzymes.
The new product expands the company’s savory bakery decoration portfolio and is engineered to enhance a wide range of baked products, including baguettes, loaves, focaccia, pretzels, and baked snacks, offering both artisanal bakers and large-scale food manufacturers a practical, effective, and versatile ingredient solution.
The company, part of the Nexture platform alongside brands like HIFOOD and Comprital, positions Tiger Granulat as a game-changer for vegan and gluten-reduced applications, meeting the needs of retail chains, foodservice operators, and eco-conscious consumers.
This rollout follows CSM’s strategic expansions, including ancient grains lines and plant-based solutions, reinforcing its role in evolving the food ecosystem toward sustainability and human well-being.
With Tiger Granulat, CSM Ingredients further strengthens its position as a partner for bakery professionals seeking value-added, application-oriented ingredient solutions.
The product reflects the company’s ability to evolve established concepts into formats that meet changing production requirements, without compromising on sensory quality or visual impact.
As bakers navigate raw material volatility, Tiger Granulat empowers consistent excellence across croissants and ciabatta.
CSM Ingredients continues to “thrive for impact,” blending heritage with cutting-edge tech to nourish a changing world.
