To Barbara Elisabeth and my family, a permanent source of inspiration.

Franz Haas Jr. (19462006) introduced me to the wafers and waffles subject areas and challenged me to explore them from a food science viewpoint. You will find the results of this introduction in this book. Recipes shall follow in an upcoming book.

Wafers and waffles have grown to be important segments within the industrially manufactured bakery products category. However, comparatively there is little public knowledge about the technology used to make them. After almost 30 years of working in the area, writing this book is a way to give the knowledge I received from many people during that time. Spreading expertise and ideas can lead to inspiring the development of new products and opportunities.

We owe almost all of our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.

Charles Caleb Colton

The Textbook on The Technology of Wafers and Waffles has compiled the most important and recent insights in the field of current wafer and waffle technology from an expert perspective. The author, Prof. Dr. Karl Tiefenbacher, is an internationally recognized and highly renowned industry specialist. As a long-time member of our team, he headed the Research and Application Development department, which he established and managed for 25 years with vision and comprehensive expertise.

Our research in the wafer and waffle field plays a highly central role and forms the basis for innovative product development and the resulting successful production. Haas combines decades of expertise in systems engineering with the highest standards of quality. The impact of new product trends, for example, must be defined, interpreted and implemented to design suitable and efficient production systems. Only a perfect technical interaction of raw materials, processes and machines can guarantee consistent and reliable product quality.

Based on his many years of work and comprehensive expertise, Karl Tiefenbacher presents these and other principles for the readers in his book in a previously unmatched way.
