The present invention is related to an enzyme that allows efficient removal of fructan from grain and vegetable raw material. The enzyme according to the invention produces grain and vegetable material having a fructan content significantly lower compared to that of the starting material.

Provided herein are compositions for producing gluten-free bread products, comprising pea starch and at least about 0.5% by weight pea protein based on the total weight of the composition. Also provided are gluten-free bread and bread products, and processes for preparing the same, wherein the bread and bread products comprise pea protein and pea starch, wherein the pea protein is present at at least about 0.5% by weight pea protein based on the total weight of the product.

The invention relates to a bread dough, and a bread obtained by baking the dough, where the dough includes: one or more fructans having two or more fructosyl moieties linked by a beta(2,1) bond, one or more inulinases (EC 3.2.1.7 and EC 3.2.1.80), and one or more invertases (3.2.1.26), the bread dough having a total added sugar content of 0-5 wt. %, based on dry weight.

A method for using leftover ice-cream to produce bakery products such as croissants, brioches, doughnuts or similar characterized in that leftover ice-cream, as a liquid component, is added to a basic mixture of yeast and flour, resulting in the formation of a leavened floury dough suitable for oven baking.

A method for preparing a dough or a baked product prepared from the dough which method comprises incorporating into the dough a lipolytic enzyme and/or a xylanase and an X143 polypeptide, wherein the X143 polypeptide is a monooxygenase.

A bread-making improver including at least one ingredient routinely used as a bread-making improver and at least 10.sup.7 CFU per gram of microorganisms and having a pH of between 3.5 and 5 and preferably between 4 and 4.8. The improver can be obtained by dispersing the ingredient in a phase including at least 10.sup.7 CFU of microorganisms, the pH of which has been adjusted to the desired value by adding a salt having a buffer effect. The phase is preferably a leaven in liquid or pasty form or in the form of a block that can be crumbled. The improver can be kept at a temperature lower than 10 C. and preferably lower than 6 C. for several days while maintaining its stability.

The present invention is related to an enzyme that allows efficient removal of fructan from grain and vegetable raw material. The enzyme according to the invention produces grain and vegetable material having a fructan content significantly lower compared to that of the starting material.

The present invention relates to the field of food production, in particular the provision of flour mixtures for the production of bakery products, pasta and bread, which are characterized by a reduced ATI content and can nevertheless be processed into doughs which meet the technical and rheological requirements of a wheat dough.

The present invention relates to a method of producing frozen dough for bread containing a filling and a method of producing cream-filled bread by employing the frozen dough. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of producing cream-filled bread, which can produce soft textured bread even by employing frozen/refrigerated dough, and can maintain soft bread texture even after a long period of time.

The present invention relates to a dry mix for the preparation of a potato-based dough or batter, comprising dehydrated potato, starch, protein and optionally amylopectin and a sugar. The dehydrated potato is in the form of flakes or granules and constitutes more than 50% of the dry mix, preferably at least 95%. The invention further relates to a batter and a dough prepared from the dry mix and for use in the preparation of a food product such as churros, fritters, waffles, donuts, beignets, empanadas, quesadillas, pancakes, crpes, blinis, pizzas, flatbread, steamed buns, roti, chapatti, tortillas, parathas, flammkuchen, muffins, scones, filled pockets, filled sticks, finger food, dumplings.
