EAS is used in fermented dough products such as bread and breakfast cereals by improving dough properties and characteristics, thus yielding a better quality product. The combination and interaction of proteins, fat, lecithin and enzymatic activity achieve better handling and machining of dough. The finely balanced interactions improve crumb colour and texture and will significantly enhance the softness and shelf-life of baked goods. EAS is one of the main ingredients ( with an inclusion rate of between 0.5% – 2%) when manufacturing base premixes for the bread baking industries.
Our EAS Soya Flour meets the requirements, specifications and standards laid down by the Agricultural Products Standards Act, Trade Metrology Act, Foodstuffs, Disinfectant and Cosmetics Act of South Africa. Our world-class manufacturing facility employs GMP (good manufacturing practices) to ensure we meet all legal and regulatory requirements.

| Applications | EAS is widely used in fermented dough products such as bread and morning goods. EAS improves dough properties and characteristics, thus yielding a better quality product.Beter handling and machining of dough is achieved due to the combination and interactions of proteines, fat, lecithin, and enzymic activity. The finely balanced interactions iproves crumb colour and texture and will greatly improve the softness and shelf-life of baked goods. EAS is one of the main ingredients( with an inclusion rate of between 0.5% - 2%) when manufacturing base premixes for the bread baking industries. | |||

| Advantages of EA Soya Flour |
* Easy dispersion – Milled finely * Water absorbsion is increased, thus improved yields are achieved. * EAS strenghtens the doug and assists dough to retain yeast gasses during prooving. EAS contain lipoxygenase enzymes that strengthen and satabilise the glutens within the flour, allowing for the glutens to retain yeast produced gasses during prooving. Dough containg EA soya flour is therefore less sensitve to collapse during prooving and upon entering the oven for baking. * The lipoxygenase enzymes presence has a bleaching effect on the yellow pigments in the wheat flour, thus producing white bread with a whiter crumb colour. * EA Soya improves – Texture, shelf life, and Softness of the crumb. The lecithin present retards staling as it is a natural emulsifier, and also acts as a starch complexing agent. |

| Product Description | EA Soya flour is a yellowish flour, milled very fine into almost powder form (Non-Dusty). Soya beans are carefully selected and procured from local producers, cleaned and then milled to produce a un-equaled qulity product that is light yellow in colour and has a slight beany smell and taste with a bitter aftertaste. EA Soya flour does not alter the taste in products pre and post baking. | |||
| Legal Status | Our EA Soya Flour meets the requirements, specifications and standards laid down by the Agricultural Products Standards Act, Trade Metrology Act, Foodstuffs, Disinfectant and Cosmetics Act of South Africa. Our world-class manufacturing facility employs GMP (good manufacturing practices) to ensure we meet all legal and regulatory requirements. | |||
| Composition | EA Soya flour is a all natural product, produced from cleaned, de-hulled soya. It is rich in proteines and fat. It contains the enzyme lipoxygenase which has a bleaching effect on flour it also co-oxidises proteines which improves dough rheology. EAS contain between 18 and 24% fat of which 10% is lechitin in unsaturated fatty acid form. | |||
| Labelling and Packaging |
