APPLICATIONS
Cultured Wheat (Cultured Corn Starch) is a traditional method to improve the flavor, texture and shelf life of bread. It acts as an accelerator for the yeast fermentation of flour. Cultured dextrose is used in baking, which can increase the volume of bread, delay aging and improve the nutritional value.
