Lesaffre, global key player in baking and fermentation

Improvers

We produce quality

Making a top-quality and powerful bakery improver is a task for professionals. Therefore, we compose the improvers and test them with regard to the quality of the flour, the variation of the manufacturing process, the use of the various working tools and the type of final bakery products. Lesaffre’s primary effort is to adapt its improvers to the specific requirements of individual customers.

Reasons for using Magimix improvers

They address the basic needs of bakers:

  • stability and certainty of the technological process with variable flour quality
  • better processability of dough in machine processing
  • faster rising of the dough
  • higher performance
  • optimization of the baking process

 


They bring important benefits to bakers:

  • production facilitation
  • prolonging the freshness of bakery products
  • development of the aroma and taste of the end products

Our improvers meet the requirements of end consumers for:

  • bread and pastry volume
  • the appearance and colour of the crumb
  • crust colour
  • shelf life
  • flavour

Our improvers meet the requirements of end consumers for:

Oxidizers

Oxidizers enhance gluten to obtain optimal shape stability (ascorbic acid, etc.).

Enzymes

Enzymes allow the processing of complex sugars to feed yeast and improve the colour of the crust (amylase, etc.).

Emulsifiers

Emulsifiers improve the structure of gluten to increase its gas retention capacity (lecithin, monoglycerides, etc.).

Reducers

Reducers allow a richer gluten structure to be obtained during the blending process (deactivated yeast, etc.).

Special ingredients

Special ingredients have unique effects (soybean flour, malt, etc.).
