How do different factors from farm to fork influence food structure, functionality and immunological activity?
Why does the prevalence of wheat-related disorders, e.g., celiac disease or allergies, increase within the population?

We analysed the effects of seven baking lipases on three different cake recipes in comparison to the traditional emulsifier DATEM. The greatest effects occurred in the eggless cake, whereas lipase reactions seemed to be inhibited in the yeast-based cake. For basic cake and pound cake, three lipases decreased batter density and stickiness and led to a liquefaction of the batter. This opens up many possibilities for application of lipases in cakes and other fine bakery goods. The full text is available here: doi: 10.1016/j.lwt.2023.114464
