R&D Support

Goobagel’s R&D is powered by a 30+ member team that includes domestic and international bagel specialists, among them world-champion bakers.We introduce 50+ new bagel products every year.

Jiangsu Goobagel Food Technology Co., Ltd.
Jiangsu Goobagel Food Technology Co., Ltd.

The team excels at developing new flavors and fine-tuning dough texture, firmness, and baking curves. Each iteration can be produced in small pilot batches, and all formulas are optimized to perform consistently across different cold-chain conditions and various in-store baking equipment.

High-Quality Ingredients

We use safe, clean, fully traceable ingredients:
- Premium wheat flour
- No added preservatives
- 0g trans fat
- Clean-label options available (no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives)

Technology Advantages
  • Premium Wheat Selection
    Premium Wheat Selection

    Only the plump core kernels are milled, giving higher natural protein and better dough strength.

  • Japanese-style Milling
    Japanese-style Milling

    Gentle, fine milling reduces starch damage, preserves aroma and nutrients, and contributes to a soft yet chewy bagel texture.

  • Prefermented Dough (Levain & Tangzhong)
    Prefermented Dough (Levain & Tangzhong)

    Low-temperature pre-fermentation for 12 hours.
    5–8 min low-speed mixing + 12–15 min high-speed kneading until smooth with ~90% gluten development and a thin windowpane.

  • First Fermentation
    First Fermentation

    30 ± 3°C, 80 ± 10% humidity.
    Enhances yeast and LAB activity, boosts aroma compounds, increases hydration, and delivers a soft, chewy crumb.

  • Second Fermentation
    Second Fermentation

    About 90 minutes, developing more volatile compounds and organic acids for a richer aroma and softer texture.

  • Signature Boiling Process
    Signature Boiling Process

    30 seconds per side in 90–100°C malted water to create the signature chewy bagel skin.

  • High-Temperature Baking
    High-Temperature Baking

    220°C for a strong Maillard reaction.
    Smooth surface, even golden color, and a dense, fine crumb structure.

  • Rapid Freezing
    Rapid Freezing

    -40°C flash freezing to prevent staling and lock in texture and nutrition.

Validation & Testing

Every R&D result is validated through strict testing to ensure stable performance from lab batches to mass production.

  • Process stability tests
    Baking-curve adaptation across different temperatures, humidity levels, and equipment.
  • Cold-chain resistance
    Structural stability through -40°C freezing → chilled storage → thawing → baking.
  • Batch testing
    Moisture, chewiness, firmness, specific volume, and other key parameters.
  • Sensory evaluation
    Blind tastings by expert bakers and trained panels.
  • Full traceability
    Raw materials, batch data, process parameters, and operator records are all traceable end-to-end.
