Abstract

The shelf life of a bakery product is extended by including in the dough mixture, from which such product is formed, both a sucrose ester emulsifier and polyvinylpyrrolidone synthetic hydrocolloid. The storage characteristics of the product may be additionally improved by controlling water activity through the use of a alcohol in the proper quantity. Shelf life is further enhanced by minimizing the residual oxygen in the container in which the product is packaged.
