Here, the importance of a well-balanced lipid population in BM was studied by applying a lipase from Fusarium oxysporum in the process. Monogalactosyldiacylglycerols and N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamines were the most accessible lipase substrates. Hydrolysis thereof into their corresponding lysolipids was largely if not entirely responsible for loaf volume increases upon lipase application. Degradation of endogenously present lipids and enzymatically released lysolipids caused loaf volume to decrease, confirming that an appropriate balance between different types of lipids is crucial in BM. For optimal dough gas cell stability, the level of lipids promoting lamellar mesophases and, thus, liquid condensed monolayers needs to be maximal while maintaining an appropriate balance between lipids promoting hexagonal I phases, non-polar lipids and lipids promoting hexagonal II or cubic phases. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
