More About Textural Quality

The desired texture of a food can be subjective based on the consumer’s preference. As a manufacturer, your product must meet their expectations each and every time. Watch the video to see how Kemin can help.

Texture Degradation

Many factors lead to textural degradation in baked goods. One factor is the amount of moisture in the product. The increase in water activity levels in products like tortillas can lead to mold growth. However, not enough moisture in the product can lead to dry, crumbly, or hard products.

Achieving the appropriate moisture level is crucial to meeting the shelf life and quality of your product. Another critical factor is the chemical and enzymatic activity that occurs throughout the processing, baking, and shelf life of the product. Over time, these reactions can cause quality issues within the dough and lead to texture, color, flavor, and odor degradation in the final product.

At Kemin, we work with you to help create the ideal formulation to meet a variety of processing demands including flexibility and machinability of dough, as well as textural quality over the entire shelf life of the final product.
