27
How is commercial yeast made?
1. Healthy yeast are selected from he desired strain 2. Yeast is placed with nutrients for budding to occur (multiplication) 3. Culture is transferred to a medium called the wort 4. After the yeast have multiplied, it is ready for fermentation 5. After fermentation yeast is separated from wort
28
What are the nutrients in the wort?
Carbs Vitamins Minerals
29
What are the difference kinds of yeast you can find?
``` Active dry yeast Instant quick rising active yeast Bread machine yeast Inactive dry yeast Compressed (cake) Yeast ```
30
What is active dry yeast?
Dried dormant live yeast cells Activated by specific temp, hydration, food Should not be added directly to dry ingredients Mostly for home use Larger cell
31
How long can yeast be stored?
1-2 years if unopened | -if unopened store in fridge
32
What destroys yeast cells?
Moisture | Warm Temps
33
What is instant quick rising active yeast?
Added directly to dry ingredients (no need to rehydrate) 50% reduction in dough rising time High instability in air and must be packed with inert gas (O2) or vacuum Smaller cell Home or bakers
34
What is bread machine yeast?
Same as instant quick rising active yeast BUT with added: | -ascorbic acid (dough conditioner) to promote dough extensidbility (Stretching) during rising
35
What is inactive dry yeast?
Same as nutritional yeast Dough conditioner, not a leavening agent Inactivated by pasteurization during drying on steam heat roller dryers Breaks gluten sulphide bonds (gluten reducing agent), resulting in a more extensible dough (optimizes CO2 retention)
36
What is inactive dry yeast a good source of nutrient wise?
Protein B vitamins
37
What is compressed (cake) yeast?
Blend of wet years cells, water, emulsifier and oil Shorter shelf life of 10 days refrigerated due to 70% moisture Softened in water (29C) Powder will be 60% wt if compressed Commercial bakeries
38
Which yeast is the most consistent in quality?
Compressed (Cake) yeast | -minimally processed
39
What will happen to compressed (cake) yeast if left out?
Will lose leavening power if left out at room temp for several hours
40
What does too much yeast cause?
Undesirable: - odor - Flavour - Coarse texture - Grey colour - Distorted shape in bread
41
What causes a sour flavour in bread?
Natural starters or Sours from wild yeast bacteria collected from the air
42
What does lactic bacteria do to bread?
Increase AA content due to the break down of protein and add more flavour (Flour proteolysis)
43
What kind of flour has the highest gluten protein?
Bread flour
44
Why do we need a stronger flour?
Weakening effect due to fermentation on the gluten
45
What leads to cell rigidity?
Starch from the flour gelatinizes during backing f
46
What is the role of pentosans?
They are gums in the flour and allow for increase water absorption -leads to goof volume of loaf

What temp do liquids need to be heated to before being added to dry mix?
120-130F
51
What kind of liquids can be added to dough?
Milk (scalded to denature protein) Eggs Cooked potato Starch -provides gelatinized starch flavouring fermentation Whey
52
What does the addition of milk or eggs as liquid do to bread?
``` More tender Better dough handling Crust colour Flavour Shelf life ```
53
What happens when you have too much or too little liquid?
Much: Dilute gluten yielding decreased loaf volume Little: dry, stiff, ineleastice, slow to rise, limited gluten development
54
Why is salt added to dough?
Flavour enhancer Firming effect on gluten structure Slows fermentation Increases time required for rising
55
What happens if your dough has no salt or excessive salt?
No= crumbly Excessive= .3% flour wt leads to stiff dough and difficult to work
56
What does sugar do to dough?
Fermentation time increased Yeast metabolizes sucrose before maltose -sugar comes from flour and added
57
What happens when you have too little or too much sugar?
Little: Rises quicker Much: Delays action of yeast
58
What does fat do to the dough?
Makes breads softer, increases shelf like Improved dough handling Increase gluten extensibility for increase load volume and better texture Not an essential ingredient
59
What does vital wheat gluten do?
Increases: - dough strength - water absorption - dough tolerance - loaf volume - crumb texture
60
What do yeast nutrients to to dough?
Monocalcium phosphate or Calcium sulfate Supply nitrogen or phosphate for improved yeast growth
61
What re pH regulators?
Help to lower pH for optimal yeast growth - Calcium carbonate - Calcium Sulfate
62
Why are oxidizing agents sometimes added to dough?
Helps with gluten development Stripping H atoms from sulfhydryl linkages, making sulphur available for disulphide bonding in gluten Ascorbic is most popular
63
Why are reducing agents sometimes added to dough?
Breaks disulphide bonds Affects stretchability of dough Can combine with oxidizing agent to optimize gluten development and increase volume L-cyseine and inactive yeast act on gluten to increase extensibility while also shortening mix time
64
What do emulsifiers do in dough?
``` Enhance: Stability Soften hough for flexibility Finer Softer crumb ```
65
What are some examples of emulsifiers?
Lecithin Mono and diglycerides Polysorbate 60
66
Why are enzymes used in dough?
Slow staling Enhance bread crust colour Oven Spring Softer crumb
67
What is oven spring?
Final burst of rising after thee loaf has been put into the oven
68
What are some examples of enzymes used?
``` Alylases Diastatic malt syrup Malt Flour Oxidase Carbohydrase Proteases -mostly from fungi or bacteria ```
69
Why is mixing important ?
Air is incorporated into the dough creating many small ag nuclei leading to gluten development Helps moisture distribute throughout the dough
70
Does yeast crease new nuclei in dough?
Yeast produces CO2 which increase the size of nuclei but does. not crease new gas cells
71
What does fully kneaded dough look like?
Smooth Not sticky Can stretch to think film (windowpane test)
72
What doe over mixed. dough look like?
Sticky Excessively soft -usually happens with mechanical mixer
73
Why do we knead dough?
Aligning of gluten and gliadin molecules -the swollen particles of both result in the alignment from the kneading Starch granules for flour entrapped en developing gluten
74
What happens during the fermented stage with eh first rising?
Dough is ripened
75
What are the control factors for fermentation?
``` Time Temo Environment Atitude Gluten Strength Yeast ```

77
What does the run of glucose and yeast produce?
Ethanol and carbon dioxide
78
What is also produced during fermentation that contributes to flavour?
Organic acids AA Others
79
What is the purpose of Organic acids, AA andOther compounds produced during fermentation?
Decrease pH from 6-5 promoting fermentation nd amylase activity Greater dispersion of gluten with loss of elasticity
80
At what degree do you get the best flavour development?
26-32C | -become cold temp inhibits yeast activity
81
What happens when dough is exposed to air and what should you do to prevent that?
Creates a film, and can lead to streaks and forms a hard crust - cover with damp cloth - Place in proofing cabinet - Grease surface of dough
82
How long does it take for the Dough to double in size and what does it depend on?
1 hour - Yeast - Temo - Salt - Sugar - Dough stiffness
83
What happens when you have over fermentation?
Weakened gluten strands (dense coarse grain) | Sour odor
84
What happens when you have under fermentation?
Less tender | Small volume
85
What is punching down dough?
Subdivide the gas cells to: - produce smaller cells - redistribute yeast cells - redistribute food substrate - Equalize temp
86
When should you shape/mold the dough?
After letting dough relax for a bit after punching
87
What happens when you shape the dough
Removes large gas bubbles on pans or baking sheets
88
What is scaling?
When dough is divided into portions
89
What is proofing?
The final rising stage in the pan - 30-35C and 85% humidity - size doubled after 30-60 mins
90
What happens when you have an under or over proofed dough?
Under: Small and dense after baking Over: collapse in oven
91
When do you know a dough is ready to be baked?
When dough doesn’t spring back its done proofing and ready to bake
92
What is oven spring?
Sharp rising of dough when it first goes in the oven from gas production and dough expands
93
What happens if you have too hot of an oven?
Initially can set the bread before optimum oven spring occurs which reduces volume
94
Why is steam injection good?
Is at the start of baking and allows crust to remain soft and expand giving a thin hard crust No steam injected: crust formed early resulting in thicker and heavier crust
95
What happens when temp of dough increases?
Yeast is killed Enzymes inactivated Fermentation stopped
96
What temp should the dough reach to be done?
91-93C | -can reach 100
97
Does mailer or caramelization take place in baking dough?
Both
98
What is a high fibre dough?
Bran is detrimental to gluten and produces low volume dense bread Pre soaking brann and finely grinding and adding shortening help overcome this effect on gluten Vital wheat gluten and conditioners can help as well
99
What are bagels?
Proofed, shaped, boiled and baked Dense, chewy, tough Boiling expands due to increased gas production and sets outer crust (partial gelatinization) Baking browns the bagel
100
What is staling?
Crust toughening - water migration rom crumb to crust - starch responsible for staling
101
What happens when crumb firms?
Amylopectin retrogradation: starch molecules bind together in an ordered structure after gelatinization Monoglycerides form a complex with amylose decreasing retrogradation and softening the crumb Interaction with starch and gluten could be the cause of staling
102
What prevents staling?
Fat Emulsifiers Amylase
103
Can you reverse staling?
Yes, can toast or freeze | -fridge promotes staling
104
How do you know when bread has spoiled?
Rope bacteria, their spores aren killed in baking - will have overripe melon odor - ropey inside
105
Why does bread spoil?
Moisture and Temperature
106
How can you prevent spoilage?
Calcium propionate as ate-molding additive Calcium or sodium proionate Acidify dough with vinegar or buttermilk
