Other reactions in the dough during baking, particularly those relevant to bread quality, include starch gelatinization, gluten protein denaturation and enzyme inactivation. Wheat protein denaturation in dough starts at about 70 degrees C and proceeds to a point where the gas cell walls become fixed and expansion terminates. While internal crumb temperatures do not exceed 100 degrees C crust temperature reaches 195 degrees C. At this high temperature, complex browning reactions of the Maillard-type take place between reducing sugars and free amino acids. These reactions lead to the characteristic crust colour and substantially influence bread flavour. 1, record 5, English, - gluten%20protein%20denaturation

Parmi les autres réactions qui se produisent à la cuisson et qui influent sur la qualité du pain, il faut mentionner la gélification de l'amidon, la dénaturation de la protéine du gluten et l'inactivation des enzymes. Les protéines du blé dans la pâte commencent à se dénaturer à 70 degrés C et cette réaction se poursuit jusqu'au moment où les parois des cellules de gaz deviennent fixes et où l'expansion s'arrête. Tandis que la température interne de la mie ne dépasse pas 100 degrés C, celle de la croûte s'élève jusqu'à 195 degrés C. A cette température élevée a lieu le brunissement par réaction de Maillard où se trouvent impliqués les sucs réducteurs et les amino-acides libres. Cette réaction confère à la croûte sa coloration caractéristique et contribue en grande partie à la saveur du pain. 1, record 5, French, - d%C3%A9naturation%20de%20la%20prot%C3%A9ine%20du%20gluten

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The fermentation of solid substrates such as starchy or cellulosic materials can be approached in two different ways. The solid material can be suspended in an aqueous medium. A general problem with such preparations is that gelatinization of the starches, etc. can generate highly viscous broths causing poor mixing and O2 transfer at dry weight concentrations higher than 2% w/v. There is also the obvious diseconomy of adding so much water to the substrate only to remove it from the product. Alternatively, then, the problem is approached through 'solid state fermentation’, the growth of microorganisms on solid materials without the presence of free liquid. 3, record 7, English, - solid%20substrate%20fermentation

Such techniques can be divided into two basic types: thin layer and deep bed. In the former system, the organisms are grown on the surface of the substrate, which is spread on shallow trays about 2-4 cm deep; the trays are incubated in air-conditioned rooms or cabinets. The simplest deep bed systems consist of heaps of substrate that may be stirred periodically by hand. More sophisticated, fully automated systems include rotating drums, conveyor belt systems, which pass through air-conditioned tunnels, or deep tanks through which air is blown. The substrates used are generally based on wheat bran. 1, record 7, English, - solid%20substrate%20fermentation

La production de P.O.U. [peut s'effectuer par la] fermentation en milieu solide. (...)

Pour cela on assure simultanément une humidité d'environ 50 à 60 %, grâce à une solution de sulfate d'ammonium, de phosphate de potassium et d'urée et un courant d'air humide. (...) La croissance des micro-organismes, qui dure une trentaine d'heures s'effectue au milieu non stérile et se traduit par l'envahissement du substrat par le mycélium (ensemble des cellules fongiques); on a donc un enrichissement global du milieu en protéines nobles, riches en acides aminés essentiels et en particulier en lysine. 1, record 7, French, - fermentation%20en%20milieu%20solide
