GEBAKE™

Biscuit, Crackers & Wafers

Biscuits & Crackers Improver Enzymes for Consistent Processing, Snap & Crunch

The biscuits, crackers, and wafers segment represents one of the most process-sensitive categories in the bakery industry, where even minor variations in flour quality, water absorption, mixing energy, or sheeting conditions can directly impact spread, thickness, texture, breakage, and final appearance. Consistent Dough Handling, Texture Control & Reliable Baking Performance Unlike high-moisture bread systems, these low-moisture bakery products demand precise control over dough behavior and baking performance to ensure repeatable quality at an industrial scale. GEBAKE™ enzyme solutions for biscuits, crackers, and wafers are developed to help manufacturers overcome these challenges by delivering predictable dough handling, controlled spread, uniform texture, and stable processing performance across different formulations and production conditions. By acting selectively on flour components

Yes. Proper enzyme selection helps improve structure and texture, reducing breakage during baking, cooling, and packaging.

Yes. GEBAKE™ systems are designed for process stability and consistency on continuous, high-throughput production lines.

Yes. Enzyme systems help manage fiber-related challenges and improve dough handling and eating quality.

BAKING

Improving Dough Handling & Stability

Enzymes such as amylases, proteases, and lipases enhance dough strength and elasticity, improving mixing and shaping properties for products like sandwich bread, burger buns, pizza bases, and flatbreads. They break down complex starches and proteins, improving dough extensibility and fermentation tolerance. This leads to smoother production, reduced stickiness, and consistent dough quality, essential for both artisanal and industrial baking operations.

Enhancing Volume, Softness & Shelf Life

Baking enzymes improve loaf volume, create a soft crumb texture, and enhance crust color in bakery products such as cakes, pastries, croissants, and laminated dough products. Amylases release fermentable sugars to boost yeast activity, while xylanases and cellulases modify fiber components to create a tender crumb. These enzymes also delay staling, ensuring products remain soft and fresh for an extended shelf life, reducing returns and food waste.

Clean Label & Cost Optimization (Gluten-Free & Wholegrain Breads)

By reducing or eliminating chemical improvers and emulsifiers, enzymes offer natural, label-friendly solutions for bakery products, including gluten-free and wholegrain breads. Enzymes help improve dough stability, water absorption, and crumb softness naturally, aligning with clean-label and health-focused consumer trends. They also reduce dependency on costly additives while delivering high-quality baked goods, supporting both cost efficiency and sustainable production.
