Why is yeast powder used in baking industry?
Yeast is used to leaven bread and other yeast doughs. Powdered or "dry yeast" can be stored without refrigeration and is more convenient than cakes of moist yeast.
What is the role yeast plays in fermentation?
Yeast is responsible for the conversion of glucose into alcohol
What does the dry powdered yeast used to bake bread actually contain?
Contain Ascospores
What is the concentration if 1g of powdered yeast is added to 10cm3 of water?
The concentration is 100 g/L.
20 grams of fresh yeast equals how many tablespoons?
One tablespoon of fresh yeast is approximately equal to 10 grams. Therefore, 20 grams of fresh yeast would be equivalent to 2 tablespoons. It's important to note that this conversion may vary slightly depending on the density and moisture content of the yeast, so it's always best to weigh the yeast for the most accurate measurement.
The active ingredient in the conversion of organic material into alcohol is?
methane
What is a limiting factor in yeast growth?
One limiting factor in yeast growth is the availability of nutrients, such as sugars, vitamins, and minerals. Insufficient levels of these nutrients can restrict yeast growth and metabolism. Additionally, environmental factors like pH, temperature, and oxygen levels can also limit yeast growth.
What are the different kinds of yeast available for baking and cooking purposes?
The main types of yeast used for baking and cooking are active dry yeast, instant yeast, and fresh yeast. Active dry yeast needs to be dissolved in water before use, instant yeast can be mixed directly into the dough, and fresh yeast is a moist block that needs to be crumbled and dissolved in water.

What is the active ingredient in the conversion of organic material into alcohol?
The active ingredient in the conversion of organic material (such as sugars or starches) into alcohol is yeast. Yeast is a microorganism that consumes the sugars in the organic material and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide as byproducts through the process of fermentation.
Does yeast grow in water?
The little brown grains of dried yeast (from the packet) can and will grow if put into water (at room temperature) with a little bit of sugar dissolved in it. You will see them growing because the water will begin to produce a foam after 30 mins. However, please note that if the dried yeast is kept too long before it is used, then the yeast in the brown grains may be killed. In this case no foam will be produced.
