Benefits of VITACEL- cereal fibres for the production of wafers Technological benefits
better flow ability of the wafer mass, the mass becomes more homogeneous dry substance in mass is increased residual moisture is slightly increased (max. 3 %) higher water absorption increased yield

wafers market example

This company had the internal development target to increase the resistance of the cones of at least 20%.
CONE RESISTANCE (N) control average in (N) difference in % 7,0 modified formulation 7,2 3% formulation modified with VITACEL WF 600 9,6 38%

Modified formulation (better flour quality, some other usual ingredients, etc.) still was not sufficient in cone resistance modified with VITACEL wheat fibre WF 600 achieved an excellent result
