Microcapsules comprising a core surrounded by a shell having seeding agents disposed therein for the purpose of imparting enhanced or unique structural and/or functional characteristics to the microcapsules is disclosed. The seeding agents may be completely imbedded within the shell material or may protrude through the shell's surface to afford the microcapsule with diverse strength, thermal stability, weight, balance, buoyancy and dissolution characteristics as well as enhanced fluid dynamic properties. In another embodiment of the invention both imbedded and protruding seeding agents are employed. An example of a seeding microcapsule of the present invention is disclosed comprising an encapsulated salt composition having ascorbic acid seeds dispersed within an inert, thermoplastic shell for use in baking bromate-free bakery products such as bread.
A microcapsule for use in baking bromate-free yeast-raised bakery products comprising:
A method of conditioning dough comprising the steps of:
A method of conditioning dough comprising the steps of:
A dough composition for use in baking comprising flour, salt, yeast, water and a measured amounts of microcapsules comprising a core comprising a salt, an inert organic thermoplastic shell disposed about the core, and seeding agents disposed throughout the shell, wherein said shell possesses melting properties suitable for release of said core during baking.
