Abstract
The present invention relates to the production of edible wafers having a density of at least 35 mg/cm3 the wafer comprising (i) 100 parts by weight of a flour; (ii) a low amount of water, in an amount so the weight ratio of total amount of water to total amount of flour in the batter (denoted herein as R[w/f]) is no more than 0.8; and (iii) at least one enzyme comprising a cellulase in an amount of at least 0.0001 parts by weight; where the batter has a viscosity of from 200 to 1900 cps so it can be both pumped and baked on a heated surface without spillage.
Claims4
A process for the production of a baked foodstuff comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a batter comprising
- (i) 100 parts by weight of flour;
- (ii) an amount of water so the weight ratio of total amount of water to total amount of flour in the batter is no more than 0.8;
- and
- (iii) at least one enzyme comprising a cellulase in an amount of at least 0.0001 parts by weight;
- (b) mixing the batter to achieve a viscosity of from 200 to 1900 cps;
- (c) feeding the batter to a heated baking surface through a batter depositor;
- and
- (d) baking the batter to obtain a baked foodstuff such as a wafer having a density of at least 35 mg/cm3.
A batter for a baked foodstuff such as wafer, the batter comprising
- (i) 100 parts by weight of flour;
- (ii) an amount of water so the weight ratio of total amount of water to total amount of flour in the batter is no more than 0.8;
- (iii) at least one enzyme comprising a cellulase in an amount of at least 0.0001 parts by weight;
- the batter has a viscosity of from 200 to 1900 cps;
- and
- the density of the resultant wafer obtainable by baking the batter is at least 35 mg/cm3.
A baked wafer comprising
- (i) 100 parts by weight of flour;

- (iii) at least one enzyme comprising a cellulase in an amount of at least 0.0001 parts by weight;
- and
- (iv) a density of at least 35 mg/cm3.
