Optimal dough strengthening
Reduce emulsifiers, maintain increased bread volume and improve crumb structure
Optimal dough strengthening
Improved volume and crumb structure
Industrial production of bread requires a strong, stable dough for optimal machinability. Novozymes dough-strengthening enzymes match the cost-efficiency and performance of emulsifiers, resulting in consistent bread quality with delicious, soft and elastic texture, high oven spring and improved crust appearance. The enzymes mimic the effects of traditional dough-strengthening agents.
Reduce costs and carbon footprint
Reduce costs with our dough-strengthening enzymes, which can be used at lower dosages than traditional ingredients. They result in greater dough tolerance for easier handling, and a high-quality loaf.
Compared to traditional emulsifiers, you can benefit from a significant reduction of your carbon footprint supported by the use of our solution.
Our range of dough-strengthening enzymes is extremely versatile, compatible with all types of bread and processing method. They can be used in synergy with other enzymes like amylases and xylanases.
Why you need a phospholipase in your production

Why you need a phospholipase in your production
Phospholipases modify the lipids present in flour to provide a cost-effective match for emulsifier performance. They improve dough stability and bread volume.
It produces bread that looks better with consistent high quality, a clean label and a decreased carbon footprint compared to traditionally used dough strengtheners. And it leads to significant savings.
Pasta and noodles based on wheat flour

Novozymes Noopazyme® is a dough-strengthener that reduces problems with speckiness, stickiness, texture or color stability of wheat-based noodles or dough sheets.
