The present invention relates to a polypeptide having lipolytic enzyme activity, selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide having at least 65% sequence identity to amino acids 21 to 309 of SEQ ID NO: 1; (b) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes under medium stringency conditions with the polypeptide coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; (c) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 65% sequence identity to the polypeptide coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; and (d) a fragment of the polypeptide of (a), (b) or (c) that has lipolytic enzyme activity.

The present invention relates to a bread comprising a saccharified rice solution and a method for preparing same and, more specifically, to a bread comprising a saccharified rice solution prepared by using Aspergillus oryzae koji, Aspergillus kawachii koji, and lees and a method for preparing same. According to the present invention, a saccharified rice solution prepared by using Aspergillus oryzae koji, Aspergillus kawachii koji, and lees is developed, and thus, as compared with an existing saccharified rice solution prepared by using Aspergillus oryzae koji or Aspergillus kawachii koji, sweetness may be reduced, and the amounts of glutamic acid and aspartic acid may be increased, thus giving further enhanced savory taste. Furthermore, various and rich flavors (aroma) may be enhanced. In addition, by addition of the saccharified rice solution of the present invention, a bread having savory taste and various and rich flavors (aroma) may be prepared.

The invention discloses a method of improving sliceability of a baked product prepared from dough comprising: —incorporating into the dough a glycosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.18) and/or a cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase; —baking the dough into a baked product; and —slicing the baked product during the cooling period when the baked product has a core temperature of 30-55° C.

The present invention is directed to an ingredient system for flatbread products which are essentially free from added mono-diglycerides, comprising an ingredient system containing a fat-coated vegetable fibre particle, a fat-coated organic acid and an enzyme preparation containing at least an amylase: flatbread products which contains the ingredient system and the use of the ingredient system in flatbread products.

A cocoa alternative or enhancer, made from roasted green banana flour, for use in a wide variety of food products. The cocoa alternative/enhancer can provide a variety of sensory attributes including aromas, flavors and textures that can be altered and controlled by careful manipulation of the roasting process.

The present invention provides products and methods for improving the tolerance of a dough in bakery and patisserie products. More specifically it provides sourdough products obtained through the fermentation of cereals by specific strains of bacteria. The products obtained by using said sourdough products are characterized by having a strengthened dough resulting in bakery and patisserie products with improved physical properties and taste.

The invention provides a method for preparing a dough-based product, comprising adding a GH5 xylanase and a xylanase selected from the group consisting of GH8, GH10 and GH11, to a dough.

The present invention relates to the use of a Penicillium glucose oxidase as a chemical oxidizer replacement in the food industry.
