  • Wheat protein-based dough relaxer compositions and methods of producing the same
    Patent number: 10172364
    Abstract: Wheat protein-based dough relaxers are prepared by pre-reacting a high-concentration wheat protein product (e.g., vital wheat gluten, wheat protein isolate, and mixtures thereof) with a yeast product selected from inactivated non-leavening yeast, yeast extract, and mixtures thereof. The pre-reaction is preferably carried out using an aqueous slurry containing the protein and yeast products, followed by drying. The resultant dough relaxers may be incorporated into a wide variety of wheat protein-based dough formulations to enhance the handling properties thereof, especially dough extensibility and machinability, and reduced dough mixing times.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 8, 2019
    Assignee: Manildra Milling Corporation
    Inventors: Clodualdo C. Maningat, Neal D. Bassi
