How do you dissolve dry yeast in water?

Your recipe should indicate where and how to add the yeast, but yeast does not dissolve well in milk (if at all). Yeast forms into large clumps when mixed directly with milk and will take much longer to activate. I made this mistake the first time I tried to substitute milk for water when making bread. The usual way of adding yeast to such a recipe is to fully dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water (about 110 degrees Fahrenheit). If the water is not warm enough, it won't activate the yeast and if it's too warm, it can kill the yeast. One of my colleagues proofs the yeast in the usual way (1/4 cup warm water, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp yeast), then adds the rest of the yeast to the water, mixes the dry ingredients with the milk for the recipe, then adds the water-yeast mixture to that. He claims that it works perfectly. Of course, if you use 1/4 cup of water to dissolve your yeast, subtract 1/4 cup of milk from the recipe unless otherwise indicated. And also make sure you're using the proper yeast for whatever it is you are baking.

Is it necessary to add yeast to alcoholic fermentation?

Fermentation of sugars to produce alcohol does require the presence of yeast, however, its not always necessary to add the yeast. For example, crushed grapes will start fermenting without addition of yeast because the skins contain natural wild yeast cells that will ferment. However, in order to make good wine, the grapes are usually sterilized and cultured yeasts developed especially for wine are added.

When someone makes a 30 percent glucose solution what is actually in this solution?

A 30% glucose solution is purely glucose and water, though it is actually impossible to keep other contaminants out of it. To create a 30% solution of glucose, you take a fixed volume of water and add 30% of that value of glucose to the water. The amount of glucose is in grammes. For example, 3g of glucose would be added to 10ml of water.

Describe how to activate the following types of yeast compressed dry active and quick rise dry.?

Dry yeast is inactive and becomes active when wet. It doesn't store indefinitely but it does keep longer that compressed yeast. Compressed cake yeast is already active which is why it's kept refrigerated and must be used within days. Compressed activate in warm water 75 90 degrees. Dry active: sprinkle over warm water add a pinch of sugar and wait 10 min. Quick rise: Does not need to be activated mix right into dough. The rule of thumb method of activating yeast also called proofing yeast is to dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water temperature is important can't be too hot or cold and let sit for 10-15 min. It should then look bubbly.
