It also influences perceived softness, richness, and melt-in-the-mouth sensations. Reducing it creates an immediate risk: pastries that seem too dry, less indulgent, and less distinctive, with lower perceived quality.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mba-split-card\">\n<h4>Finding the right balance<\/h4>\n<p>\n            For industrial viennoiserie brands, the challenge is to strike the right balance between recipe optimization, cost control, and the consumer experience. If the butter reduction is too noticeable, it can undermine the promise of enjoyment. A carefully developed reformulation, however, can preserve an indulgent signature while meeting evolving market expectations.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mba-split-card\">\n<h4>Market trends<\/h4>\n<p>\n            Trends in cakes, brioches, and cookies confirm this shift across sweet <a class=\"mba-text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/metarom.eu\/en\/segments\/cereal-products\/\" style=\"color:#ffbd7b!important;font-weight:800!important;text-decoration:underline!important;text-decoration-color:#ffbd7b!important;text-decoration-thickness:2px!important;text-underline-offset:4px!important;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(255,189,123,.65)!important;\">cereal-based products<\/a>: recipes need to remain affordable, familiar, and indulgent.
