  • Preparation of dough and baked products
    Patent number: 6365204
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for preparing a dough or a baked product from the dough which process involves incorporating into the dough an anti-staling amylase and a phospholipase. The bread made by the combined use of an anti-staling amylase and a phospholipase has improved softness, both when eaten on the same day and when stored for several days after baking. There is no significant change in the taste or smell of the baked product.
