GEBAKE™

Flour Improver

Flour Improver Enzymes for Bread & Buns—Consistency, Volume, Soft Crumb & Process Tolerance

Flour variability is one of the biggest challenges for bakeries and flour mills. Changes in wheat origin, season, protein quality, damaged starch, enzymatic activity, ash content, and storage conditions can directly impact water absorption, dough handling, fermentation response, loaf volume, crumb texture, and shelf life. GEBAKE™ Flour Corrections & Milling solutions are designed to help mills and flour users deliver consistent flour functionality—so downstream baking performance remains stable across batches and seasons. Enzyme Solutions for Flour Standardization, Dough Rheology & Consistent Baking Performance GEBAKE™ supports the milling value chain by improving flour standardization, strengthening predictability for bakery customers, and helping reduce product complaints linked to inconsistent dough and finished bread quality.

GEBAKE™ STABIL
(Flour Standardization & Consistency)

Best for: flour mills handling seasonal wheat variation and multi-origin wheat blends

Function: stabilizes flour functionality and delivers consistent baking performance across batches

GEBAKE™ FRMNT
(Fermentation Activity Control)

Best for: bread and bun flour where fermentation response varies due to damaged starch differences

 

Function: supports uniform fermentation behavior and improves oven spring consistency

GEBAKE™ VOLUME
(Structure & Volume Support)

Best for: industrial bread and bun flour requiring better volume and crumb uniformity

 

Function: supports dough structure and gas retention for improved loaf volume

GEBAKE™ WHOLEGRAIN
(Whole Wheat & Multigrain Flour Correction)

Best for: whole wheat, atta, multigrain, and high-fiber flour applications

 

Function: improves handling, structure, and softness performance in fiber-rich flour systems

How GEBAKE™ Works in Flour Standardization

1) Starch Function Management

Helps stabilize starch behavior for consistent fermentation support, volume development, and crumb softness.

2) Hemicellulose & Fiber Function Control

Supports dough handling and gas retention by optimizing the behavior of flour arabinoxylans and fiber fractions.

3) Protein & Gluten Performance Support

Improves dough tolerance, stability, and processing behavior based on application needs and flour strength.

4) Process Consistency for Bakeries

Enables mills to deliver flour that provides stable performance across different bakery lines and processing conditions.

Key Benefits of GEBAKE™ Flour Corrections

  • Improved flour standardization across wheat lots and seasons
  • Consistent dough rheology for bakery customers
  • Better machinability (reduced stickiness, improved handling)
  • Improved volume and crumb uniformity in bread applications
  • Reduced process variation and fewer customer complaints
  • Better overall flour value positioning for mills supplying industrial bakeries

Why Flour Corrections Are
Important

  • Unstable water absorption and mixing tolerance
  • Dough that becomes too tight or too sticky
  • Uneven proofing and inconsistent oven spring
  • Lower volume and irregular crumb structure
  • Higher rework and waste due to process instability

 

 

Who can use our GEBAKE™ Flour Corrections

  • Flour mills supplying bread and bakery flour
  • Industrial bakeries requiring consistent flour behavior
  • Baking improver and premix manufacturers
  • Contract manufacturers and QSR bakery suppliers

 

 

 

 

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.
