Comparison of bread: without fiber, with Unicell fiber 90, with Unicell fiber 200

Proposal Bread without fiber Bread with Unicell 90 Bread with Unicell 200
Size Low High Medium
Colour Creamy Creamy Slightly gray
Structure Condensed with small, round, evenly distributed air pockets Aerated, with larger, oval air pockets, more on top Aerated with the biggest air pockets, more on top, with jagged shape
Moisture on second day 41,56% 42,30% 43,11%
Taste No differences compared to CT No differences compared to CT
Weight 773 g 2,5% more 3,0% more
Bread crumbling when sliced No differences compared to CT More then CT
Hardness No differences compared to CT No differences compared to CT
Energy 257 g 256 g 251 g
100 g of finished product 1,66 g 3,40 g 3,30 g
Possible declaration No Yes Yes

All tests were performed two days after baking. Bread was stored in the plastic foil.

Aboved tests were conducted in laboratory conditions and for an extensive undertaking may be treated as guidelines only. For industrial requirements, individual parameters of production have to be approved.

Tip: you have to draw attention to the amount of water and choose the parameter individually according to your own recipes and raw materials. Too mch water added results in higher weight but significantly degrade shape and provoke gummy consistency.

Benefits of using Unicell fibers:

  • Increased Volume of Dough & Finished Bread
  • Maintains Softness for Longer Time
  • Improved nutritional profile (If minimum 3% Fibre added)
  • Appropriate mesh size
  • High Tensile strength
  • Better Yield.

How to use:

  • Quantity : 2% of Dry Flour Weight
  • Apply : Add in Dry Flour (remove the same quantity of flour as Fibre added) & Mix thoroughly + Add Water as per Dough Elasticity (2-3 time of Fibre Weight)

Conclusions of using Unicell fibers:

  • Both mesh - WF90 and WF200 improve shape and weight of the finished product
  • Adding UNICELL WF90 results in better sensory parameters (taste, color, aeration) than products with UNICELL WF200 added or CT
