Softness Retention & Shelf Life Enzyme Solution
Best for: Packaged bread • Buns • Long distribution chains • QSR buns

GEBAKE™ FRESH is a precision bakery enzyme system designed to retain crumb softness and eating quality over shelf life—especially critical for packaged bread and buns that undergo storage, transport, and extended distribution. The primary cause of bread firming over time is starch retrogradation, where gelatinised starch (mainly amylopectin) gradually recrystallises after baking, leading to crumb firming, dryness perception, and loss of fresh bite.

GEBAKE™ FRESH uses a targeted anti-staling enzyme chemistry, typically based on controlled amylolytic activity (including maltogenic amylase / specialized amylase systems) to modify starch fractions in a way that slows retrogradation without making the crumb gummy. The result is noticeably improved softness retention, better slice resilience, and more consistent consumer experience—highly valuable for QSR buns and branded packaged bakery where texture consistency defines quality.
