Proteases act on proteins and break them down into smaller units. Some proteases are useful in breadmaking because they reduce mixing time and produce a more pliable, extensible dough with good handling properties. Sound flour has very little proteolytic activity. If required, proteases may be added in the form of malted cereal flours or various fungal protease preparations. Proteolytic enzymes require time to achieve their full effect on dough. In the sponge-and-dough process, protease is usually added to the sponge stage to give the enzyme more time to act and eliminate the inhibiting effect of salt which is added at the dough stage. 2, record 1, English, - proteolytic%20enzyme

Les protéases agissent sur les protéines et les désagrègent en unités plus petites. Quelques-unes sont utiles dans la panification parce qu'elles abrègent la durée de pétrissage et donnent une pâte plus souple, plus extensible et qui se travaille bien. L'activité protéolytique propre aux farines saines est très limitée. Au besoin, on peut ajouter des protéases sous forme de farines de céréales maltées ou de diverses préparations de protéases fongiques. Le plein effet des enzymes protéolytiques met assez longtemps à se manifester dans la pâte. Dans la panification sur levain-levure, on ajoute généralement les protéases au premier mélange pour donner aux enzymes plus de temps d'agir et pour supprimer l'effet inhibiteur du sel qui est ajouté au second mélange. 2, record 1, French, - enzyme%20prot%C3%A9olytique

Tradicionalmente, la Real Academia Española (RAE) admitía únicamente el género femenino para el sustantivo enzima; así fue hasta 1984, fecha en que pasó a considerarlo de género ambiguo, que puede funcionar por igual como masculino y como femenino. El uso, no obstante, parece haberse decantado claramente en español por el femenino, que hoy se emplea en el 90% de los casos [...] 3, record 1, Spanish, - enzima%20proteol%C3%ADtica
