Baking Improvers

Enzyme-Based Baking Improver Solutions for Consistent Dough, Better Volume & Longer Freshness

In modern commercial and industrial baking, consistency is the real challenge. Flour quality can change with wheat season, milling conditions, and storage. Temperature, humidity, fermentation time, mixing energy, and line speed also influence dough behavior—often leading to variation in machinability, proof stability, loaf volume, and shelf life.

GEBAKE™ Baking Improvers are designed to help bakeries and improver manufacturers achieve reliable dough performance and uniform finished product quality, batch after batch.

GEBAKE™ solutions support process stability in real production conditions, helping you maintain controlled dough handling, predictable fermentation response, better structure development, and improved freshness retention across a wide range of bakery applications.

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.
