Baking enzymes for affordability and flexibility
Bake more for less with biosolutions
Combat fluctuating costs, reduce reliance on unwanted ingredients, and maximize efficiency in your production — all while maintaining the premium quality that consumers desire in your baked goods. Unlock affordability through greater operational flexibility with Novonesis baking biosolutions.
Skip stretching your budgets
Over 94% of consumers consider price when buying bread, yet expectations are rising for natural ingredients and fewer additives1. Climate change and fluctuating costs add to the challenge.
Baking biosolutions help you do more with less, reduce unwanted ingredients and maintain flexibility— all while staying within budget.
Unlock Affordability with Operational Flexibility
Flour correction
Baking enzymes help address variations in flour so you can achieve better dough structure, rise, and texture. Create products that consistently meet high standards, in the face of fluctuating flour quality.
Dough conditioning
The baking process is full of variables—from fluctuating flour quality to changes in baking processes and machinery. Dough conditioning enzymes help you overcome these challenges so you achieve predictable and superior baking results, every time.
Gluten strengthening
Exceptional baking starts with a strong gluten network. Enzymes enhance the gluten network in dough, making it more resilient and elastic. This improved network helps the dough retain gas during proofing and baking, resulting in bread with better volume, texture, and overall quality—all while keeping recipes more lean.
Dough strengthening
Enzymes raise bread quality by strengthening dough and improving crumb structure. They prevent dough over-mixing, ensure consistent rising, and create well-shaped loaves with a delicious, soft, and elastic texture—reducing your dependence on emulsifiers and enabling a shorter, simpler label.
Recipe optimization
Reduce your dependence on sugar, vital wheat gluten and other volatile ingredients while stabilizing the supply chain and protecting your recipe costs.
Crumbs of wisdom
Formulating recipes and industrial baking is not easy. Stay in the know to stay ahead.
A closer look at lipases and flour quality
Lipases help you tackle challenges in baking like ingredient shortages and rising costs .
Derived from nature, these baking enzymes reduce additives while maintaining quality, ensuring reliable supply and stable pricing. Using advanced lipid profiling and machine learning, Novonesis has unlocked valuable insights in a new study analyzing 35 flours, helping improve baking efficiency and performance.
Discover your formulation’s sweet spot
What if you could reduce the amount of sugar in your formulation and still achieve same sweetness level?
Optiva® LS Prime converts starch into sugar to improve sweetness without the need for high amounts of added sugar. With Optiva® LS Prime, you can help your customers manage volatile raw material prices, improve their margins, and, according to our sensory tests, achieve the same high sensory quality that consumers expect.
