Dough Stability
When weak flour (low protein content) is used or general dough stabilisation is desired for technological purposes, AB Enzymes’ special dough-strengthening enzymes stabilise the dough’s protein matrix to the desired degree either by very specifically cross linking the gluten network with covalent molecular bonds to achieve a very stable dough and fermentation tolerance, or by increasing the oxidation of disulfide groups in the dough’s protein network.
The best enzyme for the best purpose
AB Enzymes holds a patent for the use of transglutaminase in bakery applications. This enzyme cross-links the gluten proteins and improves the dough consistency. Dough-strengthening enzymes are used as processing aids: they produce their effect in the initial steps of the baking process and are deactivated by the oven’s heat during baking.

VERON® Oxibake-ST In bread improvers, VERON® Oxibake-ST serves as a natural oxidizing system, cross-linking the protein network by creating additional disulfide links. Doughs made with VERON® Oxibake-ST have increased dough elasticity and show increased fermentation tolerance. Products with a surface cut, such as French baguettes or German rolls, show a nice burst and open cut when baked with VERON® Oxibake-ST.
VERON® TG In bread improvers, VERON® TG serves as a strong protein cross-linking enzyme. Unlike the action of oxidases, that of transglutaminase is irreversible. Doughs with transglutaminase have increased dough elasticity and show increased fermentation tolerance.
