Mühlenchemie's new enzymes
improve composite flour results
AHRENSBURG, GERMANY -
Mühlenchemie has developed a new
series of enzyme-based products that the
company claims improve baking results
with composite flours.
These solutions allow replacement
of up to 20% of the wheat with alternative
raw materials, without losses
in quality. Mühlenchemie said the
enzymes enable the use of locally available
grains and reduces dependence
on global raw materials markets. The
Compozym toolbox is available for
numerous applications and flours and
is being extended for further uses.
With rising grain prices and varying
market availability mills are looking
for ways to make raw materials sourcing
less dependent on the global wheat
market. One way to achieve this is to
use composite flours made of wheat and
other crops, such as maize, cassava or
sorghum, which are grown and available
locally in many parts of the world.
With Compozym from Mühlenchemie,
these crops can replace up to 20% of the
wheat without impairing quality. The
use of regionally grown grains or other
crops makes it possible to efficiently
manage raw materials fluctuations and
shorten supply chains. Reverting to local
suppliers not only supplements wheat
imports but also opens up the possibility
of marketing innovative and more
sustainable products made of composite
flour, according to Mühlenchemie.
Reducing the proportion of wheat
flour and adding other flours changes
the properties of the flour, dough
and final baked foods. This technique
can result in reduced volume,
lower stability and shorter fresh-keeping,
as well as differences in the color
and/or surface structure of the final
products, Mühlenchemie said.
With the Compozym enzyme series,
bakers can compensate for these effects
and get the same results as with pure
wheat flour, Mühlenchemie said. The
toolbox consists of complete solutions
for tin loaves like sandwich bread, freestanding
bread like baguettes and fino,
and flatbreads like parotha and chapati.
The toolbox also offers products to
address the special requirements of
composite flour, regardless of the application.
Among these are solutions that
provide better water absorption during

dough production, improved stability
during fermentation and longer freshness
and softness. All the solutions may
be used in a variety of composite flours.
The new Compozym product line
was developed based on analyses in
rheology and subsequently in the
baking laboratory, and has been tested
and refined with a wide variety of
flours and applications, according to
Mühlenchemie.
" Our development work continues,
and we have further MC product solutions
in the pipeline, " said Greta Reers,
product manager at Mühlenchemie.
" We're expanding the Compozym line to
address additional applications, and are
continually adapting it to market conditions. "
