DuPont Danisco Litesse and FIBRIM combination helps overcome the sensory challenges in added-fiber bread and sponge cakes, the company said.
In the recent years, consumers are seeking for fiber as an ingredient in products; however, efforts to develop bread and cakes with a fiber has resulted in numerous sensory issues such as reduced crumb softness, poor texture and low volume.
Application specialists at DuPont have tested a series of solutions to resolve the problems.
The latest solution gives bread and sponge cakes a volume similar to a control recipe, along with a comparable crumb softness and resilience over a 14-day shelf life.
DuPont Nutrition & Health application specialist and bakery group innovation manager Xue Si-Ying said, "We can now overcome the volume and texture challenges that we used to have with high-fiber breads and cakes.
"This means consumers can enjoy the goodness of fiber in baked goods without having to compromise on product quality."
