  • Deep-frozen, pre-proofed doughs
    Patent number: 5254351
    Abstract: The invention concerns with deep frozen, pre-proofed doughs that contain 0.5-10 wt % of a gelatin relating compound, optionally in combination with other dough improvers like ascorbic acid, vital gluten, xylanase, amylase or DATA-esters. In particular the combination with xylanase/amylase leads to unexpected results (s.v. and/or ovenspring of baked products made from the doughs). As gelatin relating compounds gelatin, hydrolysed gelatin, collagen hydrolysate and/or gelatin precursors can be used.
