- Application Note
- Homogeneous wafer batters for an improved processibility
- Reduced viscosity for a trouble-free production
- Reduced water addition for energy savings
- Waste reduction for cost savings
Wafer manufacturers are often forced to use different grades of flour, so the right composition of additives is becoming increasingly important. Sternzym LQ 4020 ensures a consistent product quality, even with poorer flour grades, enabling a continuous and trouble-free production. The surface appearance is enhanced and uniform browning is assured. Furthermore, Sternzym LQ 4020 improves the wafer production process by preventing clogging of sieves and pipes. A lower viscosity also means that less water needs to be added to the batter, which in turn means that less energy is required for its evaporation
Example: Energy savings by reducing water

Example: Reduction of baking beads
Ingredients (kg) Control Trial with enzymes Water 134.48 134.48 Salt 0.37 0.37 Sodium bicarbonate 0.28 0.28 Fat/oil 1.84 1.84 Wheat flour 100.00 100.00 Sternzym LQ 4020 0.05 Dough temperature: 24-25°C Fermentation time: 15-20 minutes The batter becomes more liquid when enzymes are added, so a reduced amount has to be poured onto the wafer tongs. Thus, the batter is optimally used. As an example, the weight of the baking beads could be reduced from 13.8 g to 7.8 g per wafer sheet due to the addition of Sternzym LQ 4020.
