WHO IS AFRAID OF

ACRYLAMID?

FIRST OF ALL: WHAT IS ACRYLAMIDE?

On Wikipedia says:
"Details on the influence of acrylamide on the human metabolism are still largely unexplored. Two modes of action are known from animal experiments:

On the one hand, acrylamide directly attacks the DNA and secondly, it is converted into glycidamide by liver enzymes. This reactive substance is said to have a strong genotoxic effect is attributed to this reactive substance."

Acrylamide is formed when starchy foods are heated to high temperatures: When baking, frying, grilling, etc.

That sounds dangerous... and it probably is.

Acrylamide is a major problem in the traditional food industry, especially in the production of baked goods with a well-browned crust.

In the absence of a real solution, there is a tendency to keep the problem quiet.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION WITH TOBIO PRODUCTS?

When developing our baking mixes, our primary goal was to create something that contains no lectins - of course.

But lectins are not the only danger that can potentially lurk in plant-based foods. And so we have always had the acrylamide issue latently in the back of our minds.

As part of our product approval, we then "dared to go over it" and wanted clarity:

We baked bread from our RUSTIC ORGANIC BAKING MIXTURE at an extra high temperature: for one hour at 250 degrees. And then we sent it to the laboratory to test it for acrylamide.

We were both relieved and delighted with our test result:
