Using Fungal alpha-amylase and glucose-oxidase in the baking industry

Fungal alpha-amylase and glucose-oxidase are enzymes commonly used in the baking industry to improve dough structure and texture.

Fungal alpha-amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch molecules into smaller components such as glucose and maltose. The glucose produced can act as a natural dough conditioner, improving the strength and elasticity of the dough by strengthening the gluten network. This can help to improve the dough’s overall structure, resulting in better volume, texture, and crumb structure in baked goods.

Glucose-oxidase, as previously mentioned, is an enzyme that catalyzes glucose oxidation into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide produced can act as a natural dough conditioner, strengthening the gluten network in the dough and improving its overall structure. When used together, fungal alpha-amylase and glucose-oxidase can enhance the dough’s mixing and fermentation properties, resulting in better structure, volume, and texture. The specific dosage and application of these enzymes may differ depending on flour type, dough recipe, and processing conditions. Therefore, it’s crucial to use enzymes in a controlled and precise manner to avoid over-treatment or under-treatment, which can lead to undesirable effects on dough structure and texture.

It’s also worth noting that these enzymes are often combined with other dough conditioners, such as emulsifiers and ascorbic acid, and enzymes, such as xylanase or transglutaminase, to achieve the desired dough structure and texture. The choice and combination of dough conditioners may depend on the specific application and desired results.
