Ladies and Gents, I'm working on finding out about dough conditioners, but 
I need to know what kind we're looking for.  LeSaffre actually makes 10 
kinds of dough conditioners.  The product descriptions are as follows:

Under SAF Pro, there are:
Croustilis--Designed for retarded dough to ensure a smooth crust by 
reducing blister formation
Lesoft--Improves the crumb softness adding extended shelf life
Performance--No-time dough conditioner that improves dough performance
West Coast Sour--Sour concentrate added to flour

And under IBIS, there are:
Ibis Yellow (no description given)
Ibis Silver--aids machinability and improves volume; highly concentrated
Ibis Red--used for bake and rise process and pre-proofed bread
Ibis Purple--improves volume by strengthening the dough
Ibis Green--Clean label dough conditioner that improves dough tolerance
Ibis Blue--Used for pre-proof Viennoiserie and long shelf-life frozen dough

There is more detailed information about the products in a PDF format 
available at www.lesaffreyeastcorp.com

I suspect that what we're interested in is most likely the Lesoft, but 
don't know for sure.  Please get back to me on what seems the most like 
what you're looking for, and I'll get onto calling the company for price 
and so on.
