What nutrient do enriched and whole wheat flours add to yeast breads?

There is no yeast at all in enriched flour. Enriched flour has a few specific nutrients added to replace some of the nutrients lost when the bran and germ are removed from whole wheat to produce white flour. Yeast must be added to enriched flour if it is used to make bread. See the Wikipedia article linked below for additional information.

How does the urea affect the yeast growth saccharomyces cerevisiae?

Yeast require an assimilable nitrogen source for growth and urea is one of the chemicals yeast can use for this purpose. It contains more nitrogen than Di Ammonium Phosphate (used extensively by winemakers) but is less popular due to its links with the production of urethane during fermentation. A lack of assimilable nitrogen will inhibit yeast growth. Excess nitrogen will not compensate for a lack of other nutrients. As a guide 300mg/L of Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen Content (YANC) is recommended for successful fermentation, but it does depend on the yeast strain.


Why does alcohol and CO2 production in yeast slow and stop?

The yeast feed on sugar/carbohydrates and their byproducts are Co2 and alcohol. Co2 is in its gaseous state and therefore bubbles out of the solution. Ethanol alcohol stays in the solution. Ethanol alcohol and Co2 are toxic to yeast just like humanities byproducts are toxic to us. So, when beginning a fermentation process the yeast begin feeding on the sugar or carbohydrates and because there is a large supply of food, the yeast population increases. The production of Co2 increases with increasing yeast population. The population of yeast reach a maximum and then their growth begins to be halted by a lack of nutrients and the amount of toxins (alcohol) in there world. The production slows and then stops when there is no more food for the yeast to eat on and/or the amount of alcohol has reached a level at which yeast cannot continue to live in.


Is yeast a consumer or decomposer?
