Protease Baking enzymes

Whatsapp Order

Protease Baking Enzymes are specialized enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of proteins into peptides and amino acids. In baking, these enzymes improve dough handling, texture, and volume by modifying gluten structure and enhancing gas retention. They help produce softer crumb, better crust, and increased shelf life of baked goods. Protease enzymes are essential for consistent quality and efficiency in commercial baking operations.
