Increasing Application of Speciality Ingredients
Companies such as Koninklijke DSM N.V., DuPont are aiding bakers and food manufactures by providing those enzymes that produce bread with supreme resilience, delayed staling, more softness during shelf life and proven sensory benefits (e.g. even after 7 days, bread has a softer crumb and is more moisty). By extending the shelf life of bread, multiple benefit enzymes also support industry players in actively reducing food waste. Moreover, these enzymes solution particularly increases the foldability in baked products like tortilla wraps, preventing cracking at folding points. This enables producers to achieve a stronger product appeal for consumers and improve process efficiency for manufacturers.
