Gluten reducer saves money
Caravan Ingredients introduces Strong-Do 100, a gluten reducer blend that can be used at 0.5 percent to replace a portion of gluten in whole grain and high fiber bread products, saving money, the company says. Unlike other reduced-gluten formulas, Strong-Do 100 allows bakers to use less gluten and retain 100 percent water, while quality, dough strength and volume remain unaffected.
