  • Production of crackers with reduced or no added fat
    Patent number: 5108764
    Abstract: The added fat or shortening content of baked goods such as fermented and chemically leavened crackers is reduced while retaining: 1) a tender, non-brittle shelf stable texture, and 2) dough machinability. The fat or shortening is replaced by water and an enzyme composition having activities for hydrolyzing non-cellulosic cell wall polysaccharides. The amount of water and the enzymatic treatment are such so as to avoid excessive starch gelatinization which is deleterious to texture.
