Fermex Technical Products are a range of ingredients specifically formulated by Lesaffre International to overcome a particular baking problem or offer a solution to a specific technical requirement.

The products range from yeast derivatives processed to reduce dough shrinkage to special formulations to allow manufacturers to produce reduced fat or salt products with minimal loss of product quality.

As with all Fermex products, they are formulated with a high level of active ingredients to allow low use rate.

 BAKER’S BONUS® RS 190 Star
The most concentrated dough relaxer in the Fermex range. RS 190 Star de-activated yeast is the natural, clean label solution for poor extensibility and shrinkage. This specially processed yeast product acts as a reducing agent on the gluten network, allowing the dough to develop more quickly.

This relaxing effect allows the dough to be machined more easily, enabling it to be extended and shaped without tearing or shrinking back during proving.

In addition, the softer dough means moulding can be carried out with lower pressure, resulting in greater gas retention and a more open textured product.


This faster development typically reduces mixing time by about 20%, improving plant efficiency and throughput and promoting retention of flavour due to reduced oxidation of the dough.

he following photographs demonstrate the effect on mixing and moulding using flour from the 2003 harvest.


Use rate: 0.05-0.2% of flour weight
Applications: Baguettes, ciabatta, petit pains and pressed and sheeted pizza crusts where consistent shape, and open texture are critical parameters. Finger rolls and burger buns where enhanced flow characteristics are important.

 GUSTAL®
This patented product has been formulated for customers wishing to produce reduced salt products, without compromising flavour of the final product. GUSTAL® is a combination of special yeast extract and dried sour dough that acts as a flavour enhancer. When used at the recommended rate, the total salt level in the final product may be reduced by 25%, without loss of flavour. GUSTAL® does not suppress yeast activity, so salt reduction should be accompanied by an adjustment to the yeast level. GUSTAL® has been designed for bread products but may also be used to reduce salt levels in various other products such as pies, soups and sauces.
Use rate: 2% of flour weight
Applications: Reduced salt versions of baked goods.

 Fermex CF 05
Blister formation on crusts of products baked from frozen or retarded dough can affect the visual acceptance of some products. Specifically designed to eliminate this problem, it should be incorporated at the mixing stage in combination with a suitable bread improver.
Use rate: 0.5% of flour weight.
Applications: All frozen dough products and doughs held under chilled conditions prior to baking.

 Fermex® PR 03
Formulated to aid processing of pressed and sheeted pizza and flat breads, combining dough relaxing enzymes and deactivated yeast to prevent shrink-back and maintain uniform shape.
Use rate: 0.3% of flour weight.
Applications: Pressed and sheeted pizza and flat breads, soft tortillas.

 Fermex® CR 105
Cysteine based relaxer where a clean label declaration is not necessary.
Use rate: 0.5% of flour weight.
Applications: Pressed and sheeted pizza and flat breads, soft tortillas.

 Safpro PR
Clean label, enzyme based dough relaxer.
Use rate: 0.5% of flour rate.
Applications: Pressed and sheeted pizza and flat breads, soft tortillas.
