Dough improvements

 
INTRODUCTION

Consistent performance for modern dough systems

In bakery and snack production, consistent dough performance is essential for efficient processing and high-quality results. Variations in flour quality or process conditions can easily disrupt texture, handling, or output.

KMC’s potato-based dough improvement solutions are designed to stabilise dough viscosity and ensure predictable processing behaviour – across breads, cakes, and savoury snacks. Our ColdSwell range provides instant functionality and superior control, enabling food manufacturers to deliver reliable quality batch after batch.

Whether the goal is optimising flow properties, reducing waste, or achieving a clean label, KMC’s ingredients ensure that dough and batter systems perform consistently under industrial conditions.

Advanced functionality that adds value

KMC’s ColdSwell starches offer cold-swelling properties that deliver immediate performance improvements. Developed through a gentle spray-cooking technique, they maintain the native potato structure to ensure smooth texture and stable viscosity. Manufacturers benefit from greater flexibility, reduced variation, and enhanced product quality.

Key benefits

 Stable and predictable dough viscosity for reliable production.

  Improved dough elasticity and smooth handling during processing.

  Gluten-free and clean label compliance to meet consumer expectations.

  Instant functionality for both hot and cold applications.

 Reduced mechanical stress and breakage in high-speed environments.


 

DOUGH IMPROVEMENTS

Overcoming formulation and processing challenges

Maintaining uniform dough performance can be difficult when flour composition varies by origin or season. Even minor changes in viscosity or elasticity can affect sheeting, mixing, or depositing operations.

Our ColdSwell range addresses these variations by regulating viscosity and strengthening structure in both traditional and gluten-free systems. By compensating for fluctuating flour quality, it allows bakers and snack producers to maintain consistent flow and shape stability. This ensures smoother production runs, improved throughput, and fewer rejected batches.

The result is a more efficient process that delivers uniform product quality, regardless of formulation complexity or production scale.
