Pasta

Durum Wheat Is Difficult and Expensive to Procure.

Pasta producers need to be able to produce high-quality pasta with desired elasticity, bite, texture, and color. Short supply and high cost of durum wheat threaten production and profitability.

Enriching lower-cost bread flour with hydroMAX can
improve the force and texture of the bite, cooking tolerance,
and color to produce a quality pasta.

Introducing hydroMAX

Pasta producers now have the opportunity to optimize their principle raw material cost by sourcing lower cost bread wheat. Introducing hydro MAX, an enzyme technology that allows producers to use lower-cost bread flour and achieve the pasta performance that meets customer expectations.

How does it work? hydroMAX quantitatively improves force and texture of the bite. Checking and damage during drying phase is virtually eliminated with cooked pasta more elastic and holding more water for higher yields. Durum color is matched to produce a desirable yellow hue which is retained during the cook with lower sediment and starch loss.

hrdroMAX addresses:

  • No Access to Durum Wheat
  • High cost of Durum Wheat
  • Poor Wheat Strength
  • Inconsistent Color

Variance in wheat crop and variety can create inconsistencies in your end product. Engrain’s hydroMAX applied enzyme technology can take even the most difficult, mixed, low-quality wheat and transform it into a customized pasta output. Achieve the levels of firmness, yield, stickiness, tolerance, and color to your exact specification batch after batch. Let us prove to you that hydroMAX will maximize your pasta and profit in every way. Learn how to get a free comparison report of YOUR current base enzyme compared to your enzyme with hydroMAX.
