AB Enzymes Launches VERON GMS+, an Enzymatic Monoglyceride Replacer
Unlike DATEM or CSL/SSL, which are used in yeast-raised baked goods, mainly because of their dough strengthening and volume enhancing effect, monoglycerides are mainly used as crumb texturizing agents.
Nov 24 2011 -- VERON GMS+, the most recent addition to the well-known VERON baking enzymes range, will be officially launched during the FiE exhibition in Paris, France.
Monoglycerides are widely used emulsifiers in the baking ingredients industry. Unlike DATEM or CSL/SSL, which are used in yeast-raised baked goods, mainly because of their dough strengthening and volume enhancing effect, monoglycerides are mainly used as crumb texturizing agents.
Previously available enzyme solutions were a long way off from achieving an identical texture profile to that of monoglycerides.
VERON GMS+ was specifically designed to achieve exactly the same crumb texture profile and crumb structure in yeast raised baked goods using a patent-pending amylolytic enzyme acting synergistically in combination with a lipolytic enzyme.
VERON GMS+ works regardless of the type of monoglyceride previously used in the bread improver formulation such as powdered mono- and diglycerides or distilled monoglycerides. Cost-in-use of VERON GMS+ is substantially lower compared with monoglycerides.
“VERON GMS+ is a much more cost efficient solution than monoglycerides. By implementing VERON GMS+ in their systems, our customers can save up to 30% of their monoglyceride costs and increase long term predictability of their purchasing budgets” says Oscar Diez, Business Director Baking Enzymes at AB Enzymes.
“During our pre-marketing tests we received very positive feedback from our field test partners who were very excited about the performance of VERON GMS+”, says Ralf Neumann, Customer Solutions Director at AB Enzymes. He also emphasises: ”While the initial development of VERON GMS+ was only aimed at full monoglyceride replacement of standard monoglyceride dosages of up to 0.5%, its unique performance has allowed us to use it for the partial replacement of even higher monoglyceride dosages and in addition partially replace standard dosages of SSL/CSL as a valuable side benefit.”
VERON GMS+ therefore provides a good base for formulating clean label ingredient solutions without requiring traditional emulsifiers to achieve an equivalent texture.
As a natural emulsifier and with a lower carbon footprint than traditional emulsifiers, Veron GMS+ also meets the increasing market demand for sustainability.
