Hello

It is very complex to explaine, but i can say that citric acid slows co2 generation from yeast.

Why? because citric acid is produced by yeast in CO2 generation, and, if you add it in the dough the yeast can´t go on to complete the process.

Then, here the competiton against Bacterias is more equal than the no citric acid dough, and bacterias are responsable for enzimes generation.

This enzimes are natural dough conditioner and finally, the bread became softer, but you must leave rest the dough more time to increase volume before cooking.

This process is better using sourdough for bread making.

Don´t worry for flavor, and be expected to get more volume in bread, and more "oven spring".

How are microbes useful in bread?

The microbe in bread is yeast. Yeast is a living substance and it is useful in bread because it respires and creates bubbles that makes the bread rise. this happens when the bread dough is left in a warm area to rise.

Does sour dough bread help with diabetes?

Neither is great, but of the two, whole wheat would be better. It is a little harder to breakdown into sugar so you will not spike quite as much or as quickly. Actually I've hear quite the contrary. Sourdough bread is sour due to lactic acid released by the bacteria fermenting in the dough. The lactic acid is what keeps the blood sugar from rising.


What is the function of salt in yeast bread?

is makes it brown nothing except turns it bubbly and kinda purple it gives you severely bad craps!! Because of the acid involved. The sugar (maltose and dextrin to be exact) in the bread makes it brown... not the salt. It does however strengthen the gluten bonds in the dough and regulate the yeast so that the dough does not rise to quickly

Can you use quick rise yeast in place of bread machine yeast in a bread machine?

Instant yeast is a dry yeast developed in the past thirty years. It comes in smaller granules than active dry yeast, absorbs liquid rapidly, and doesn't need to be hydrated or "proofed" before being mixed into flour. Bread Machine Yeast is instant yeast that may include ascorbic acid, a dough conditioner. You can use them interchangeably.


What happens when you mix yeast and powdered sugar?

Combining sugar (also known as sucrose) and an acid diluted with water (acetic acid, cream of tartar, citric acid, or asorbic acid) creates a reaction called inversion. The reaction converts sucrose into glucose and fructose. This reaction is commonly used in cooking and candy making to prevent sugar crystals from forming in syrups and frosting.


How anaerobic respiration benefits the baking industry?

In aerobic respiration, due to the lack of oxygen, the glucose isn't fully metabolized which causes the build up of lactic acid. In the production of cheese certain bacteria convert lactose into lactic acid, the lactic acid is important in curdling the milk and breaking down the fats and proteins to make the cheese.


What might the smell of freshly bakes bread eventually fill an entire house?

The smell of rising bread is raw dough and I think that is smells really good. The distinctive smell that comes from rising bread is yeast. Activated yeast has a very recognizable odor and is very comforting to most people both while the dough is rising and when it is baking.
