Abstract: The invention relates to a novel use of a phospholipase A in the production of cake to improve at least one of the properties selected from the group consisting of: (i) batter viscosity, (ii) specific density, (iii) initial crumb softness, (iv) crumb pore homogeneity, (v) crumb pore diameter, (vi) crumb softness upon storage, (vii) shelf life and/or (viii) cake volume. The invention also relates to a novel use of phospholipase A in the production of cake to enable reduction of the amount of eggs and/or fat used in the recipe.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a baking enzyme composition comprising a lipolytic enzyme having activity on triglycerides, phospholipids and galactolipids, a triacyl glycerol lipase, and preferably at least another enzyme selected from a hemicellulase or cellulase and an amyloglucosidase which can be used to fully replace SSL and/or CSL or other emulsifiers in dough and baked products. The dough in which the baking enzyme composition is added in an effective amount and baked product obtained therefrom have improved properties such as excellent dough stability and shock resistance, and improved volume, crumb structure and crumb softeness of the baked product as well as improved anti staling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a yeast extract for preparing a cereal product with a reduced sodium. The yeast extract comprises at least 30% w/w 5?-ribonucleotides on the basis of sodium chloride free dry matter. Preferably, a yeast extract is used wherein the total amount of 5?-GMP plus 5?-IMP is at least 15% w/w on the basis of sodium chloride free dry matter. The method of the invention may advantageously be used for preparing a reduced sodium cereal products wherein at least 30% of the sodium is replaced, since off-tastes are masked and salt perception is enhanced.
