VERON® Hyperbake-T, an enzyme breakthrough in replacing emulsifiers

Posted June 2011 by International Fine Ingredients

As most common emulsifiers are chemical substances, extensive efforts have been made to replace them with natural, biological materials in line with global consumer demands for less 'chemical’ and more 'natural’.

The baking industry has traditionally used emulsifiers like Datem and SSL to improve the baking performance of yeast raised baked goods. VERON® Hyperbake-T is a powerful dough strengthening lipase preparation, which enables the baking industry to reduce costs and thereby optimise profits, by replacing or reducing the amount of chemical emulsifiers.

Beside the cost saving, users enjoy a clean labelling and more natural baked goods, which are totally in line with consumer demands.

VERON® Hyperbake-T ensures to obtain dry and fluffy doughs with excellent machine ability, improved dough and fermentation stability. The baking volume will significantly increase; the crumb will show an attractive regular pore structure and brighter colour. The baked goods also have a pleasant shape and appearance.
