Dr. Charlotte Stemler received the Friedrich Meuser Research Award 2024 for her work on baking lipases and their potential in improving baking quality in fine bakery goods.
Baking lipases have been used for decades as clean-label baking aids in bread. Recent studies show that they are also suitable for improving the baking quality of fine bakery goods such as cakes, by releasing surface-active molecules. Their potential in reformulating the recipe of an egg-free cake was then investigated in more detail.
