Baker's Yeast

Mainly breads, buns, cakes, cookies, pizza, but you'll have to read your labels because there is yeast in many tinned or processed foods. I was on a yeast diet and it was tough to find things I could eat as far as bread products. I found a good bread called "Aileen's Bread", but now notice many bakery will carry no yeast breads and buns. It's cheaper than going to a health food store.

When talking about yeast in food - such as beer or bread - heat is used to deactivate and kill yeast. Beer can be pasteurized. Bread is baked.

If referring to overgrowth of yeast in the human body, antifungals are generally used.

Yeast, a relative of fungus organisms, is typically purchased in a dormant state; think hybernation. It is revived by being mixed into the warm moist environment of bread dough. Awakened, it digests the available sugar, which it converts into carbon dioxide, water and ethanol. The bubbles of carbon dioxide gas give the dough the desired spongy airy texture. Salt is used to slow the yeast's digestion, keeping the process from racing out of control; the amount of salt, amount of sugar, and the temperature must all be correct in order for the yeast to provide the desired result.

Well Yeast eats, just like us. They eat sugar. Just like us they build up gas and release as what we call methane (aka commonly known as farting,medical term flatulence)

The sugar they eat builds gas up and releases it as Carbon Dioxide.

Yes, you can. Typical dry yeast packing includes 3 packets of yeast. Each one is equivalent to one cake of yeast. Be careful to follow the package directions for the appropriate temperature of the liquid that will make the yeast active. Older recipes sometimes refer to a "large" cake of yeast; that is equivalent to all three packets.

Different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae produce different proportions of carbon dioxide and alcohol. Baker's yeast is a blend of several strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chosen for their flavor and ability to make carbon dioxide, which causes bread to rise. Brewer's yeast is made of strains chosen for their alcohol-producing ability and tends to have a bitter flavor. Brewer's yeast is considered an inactive yeast while baker's yeast is an active yeast. In an active yeast the yeast cells are still alive, whereas they are killed in the process of making inactive yeasts, like brewer's yeast.

According to A Method for Determining the Weight of an Individual Yeast Cell a single cell weighs about 15 x 10-11 grams, meaning (if my math is correct) a trillion weigh about 1.5 grams, so you should have about 600 billion in a gram.

yes it is because regular bred is healthy for you.

yeast are one of the most usefull microorganism to the manking they first of all used to make alcohol. After some time their other uses are also known as making bread, extracting many enzymes, some of vitamins and manyantibiotics are also produced by yeast

Not too much. The sugar, however does. If you use to little, the yeast will not activate enough and your dough will not rise; use to much, and your yeast will be over active and your dough will be chewy, flat and too dense.

naturally

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.

To measure one gram of yeast you can use a teaspoon. Given that one teaspoon is equal to 4 grams of yeast, one gram of yeast is equal to 1/4 of a teaspoon. You can then measure one teaspoon of yeast and use a knife to divide it into 4.

Leavening agent is important in baking due to the rising qualities of the baked item and the crumb quality of the finished result. Not adding enough makes for a really puffed up result, and too little results in a baked rock.

Yes! Completely vegan. I am pretty sure that vegans do eat yeast. Vegans don't eat animals or anything from animals. Yeast is unicellular fungi or fungus. That is a living organism, but it is an organism not a plant! info from: http://www.yeastgenome.org/VL-what_are_yeast.html Yes, yeast is used in bread making. Nutritional yeast can be sprinkled over food, or be made into a vegan cheese substitute.

well yeast makes bread rise and

cake is a dessert known world wide

so my guess is it is a kind of cake

I don't have an exact answer to this question, but there are several things that lead me to believe the answer may be affirmative.

If your diet is high in sugar and starch you will be more prone to yeast infections.

Yeast often thrives internally, inside the colon.

It is not recommended that you use a cornstarch based powder during a yeast infection, as yeast can feed on it, thus making your infection worse.

These things together would lead me to believe that eating large amounts of cornstarch could unbalance the body's natural flora balance and cause an overgrowth of Canidia, or yeast.

Alcohol arguably the most important part of wine production and is the result of anaerobic respiration/ fermentation. Aerobic respiration results in vinegar.

Yeast reacts with heat and water making it rise to give the bread a even and nice texture.

The yeast breaks down starches (as in flour) and turns the starches into glucose, fructose, and maltose. The yeast then grows on these sugars, converting them into alcohol and carbon dioxide which causes the bread to rise.

Dried yeast should keep for about a year in the freezer if kept in airtight packaging.

dry yeast does not become active until it is in contact with water fresh yeast is active all of the time

Instant yeast is another type of dry yeast that was introduced after active dry yeast in the 1970s. It is made using a similar process as active dry yeast, although is dried more quickly. As you can see, this yeast is also milled into finer particles. Because of this, it dissolves faster and activates quickly. But unlike active dry yeast, instant yeast doesn't have to be proofed first; it can be mixed straight into the dry ingredients with the same result.

This yeast also gives you two separate rises and it can be used interchangeably with active dry yeast.

Yeast belong to Kingdom Protista. Animals have eukaryotic cells.
