Sternzym Quick and Easy

1 of 26 products in this brand
Sternzym Quick & Easy enables simple and reliable replacement of sodium metabisulphite. The mechanism of the breakdown of gluten protein by enzymes differs distinctively from that of chemical agents such as metabisulphite (MBS). Sternzym Quick & Easy requires more time to soften the dough than MBS, so the dough resting time needs to be adjusted. The enzymes are completely destroyed when heated, which is not the case with MBS, and can therefore be classified as technical aids without the need for declaration.

Features & Benefits

Properties
  • Weakens the gluten
  • Reduces the energy input required for kneading and mixing
  • Reduces the resting time (as compared to untreated flour)
  • Improves color uniformity
  • Enhances chewing characteristics
  • Reduces hairline cracks
  • Improves structure and browning (whereas MBS reduces browning)
  • Enhances the flavor (whereas MBS causes an off-flavor)
  • Better dough properties for scrap recovery than with MBS
