Record 3 2012-01-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Breadmaking
  • Pastries
DEF

A yeast (commonly Saccharomyces cerevisiae) used or suitable for use as leaven ...

CONT

The two forms of baker’s yeast are compressed cakes (also called fresh yeast) and dehydrated granules (dry yeast).

CONT

The term ["baker’s yeast" is] now used for what was commonly called distillers’ yeast, namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae, grown on a specially prepared molasses wort and using pure culture seed yeast. Baker’s yeast is produced in special factories devoted to its production and not as a by-product of some other fermentation process.

Key term(s)
  • bakers’ yeast
  • distiller’s yeast

French

Domaine(s)
  • Boulangerie
  • Pâtisserie
CONT

La levure sert, en panification, d'agent de fermentation. Le gaz carbonique et l'alcool éthylique sont les principaux produits obtenus de la fermentation des sucres libres sous l'action de la levure de boulangerie (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

OBS

Saccharomyces : Levures largement utilisées dans les industries alimentaires : boulangerie, brasserie (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) [...]

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Panificación
  • Repostería
CONT

La levadura de panificación es una especie de la familia Saccharomyces cerevisiae donde los científicos han aislado una cepa que es especialmente adecuada para el proceso de horneado. El nombre es una indicación de la forma en que funciona; sacchar significa que se alimenta de azúcar, myces quiere decir molde, y cerevisiae es una palabra que alguna vez fue usada para la cerveza. Cuando se administra la humedad, la alimentación y el buen ambiente, funcionará apropiadamente. Es de la misma especie utilizada para la producción de bebidas alcohólicas y extractos de sabor.

Record 5 2012-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
  • Breadmaking
CONT

Strong flour is made from hard wheat and it is good for bread baking with yeast.

OBS

This type of flour has a higher protein content ... When made into a dough, they absorb more water and with kneading produce long elastic chains of gluten/gliadin proteins forming a superstructure which enables bread with more volume and an open texture.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Minoterie et céréales
  • Boulangerie
DEF

Farine qui absorbe une quantité d'eau relativement considérable et produit une pâte exigeant un pétrissage relativement long pour son élaboration parfaite.

OBS

Généralement, c'est une farine d'excellente valeur boulangère.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Molinería y cereales
  • Panificación
DEF

Harina con una mayor proporción de gluten (almidón), se utiliza para hacer masas fermentadas y panes [...] tiene en su composición un elevado porcentaje de proteína que le da mayor capacidad para absorber líquidos y resistencia significativa al estirado.

CONT

La harina fuerte es rica en gluten, tiene la capacidad de retener mucha agua, dando masas consistentes y elásticas, panes de buen aspecto, textura y volumen satisfactorios.

Record 6 2011-11-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sugar Industry
  • Distilling Industries (Food Ind.)
  • Breadmaking
CONT

The key to the baking process is to achieve an adequate rate of gas production. This is done by careful regulation of the amounts of yeast, yeast substrate(fermentable sugars) and yeast nutrients(minerals required by yeast), and fermentation conditions, with equally careful regulation of chemical and physical actions and reactions(mixing conditions, oxidation and dough manipulation, for example) to bring the gluten into the physical state for optimum processing. In that state it will expand and hold sufficient gas to produce the loaf volume and crumb structure desired in the baked loaf.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sucrerie (Industrie de l'alimentation)
  • Distillerie (Alimentation)
  • Boulangerie
CONT

Le secret de la panification réside dans l'obtention d'une production gazeuse normale. L'on y parvient en dosant avec soin les quantités de levure, de supports de levure (sucres fermentescibles) et d'agents nutritifs de la levure (les minéraux dont elle a besoin) et en surveillant avec autant de soin les transformations physico-chimiques qui surviennent pendant le pétrissage, la fermentation et le façonnage et qui permettent de porter les propriétés physiques de la pâte à leur optimum. Une pâte ainsi faite gonfle et retient suffisamment de gaz pour donner à la miche de pain le volume et la structure de mie désirés.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
  • Breadmaking
DEF

Dough containing active yeast, saved from one baking for the next.

CONT

A sourdough is one that is acidified and leavened by its microorganisms and that can be perpetuated ("refreshened") by adding flour and water to provide continuous acidification and fermentation. Sourdough performs three functions: leavening, acidification, and flavor development.

CONT

Prospectors and pioneers used sourdough for making bread to avoid the need for fresh yeast.

French

  • Industrie de l'alimentation

Record 8 2010-03-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Additives
  • Breadmaking
DEF

... any one of a number of substances used in doughs and batters that cause a foaming action which lightens and softens the finished product.

CONT

The leavening agent (biological, chemical or even mechanical) reacts with moisture, heat, acidity or other triggers to produce gas (usually carbon dioxide and sometimes ethanol) that becomes trapped as bubbles within the dough.

OBS

Some examples are :yeast, sour milk, air, steam, baking soda and baking powder.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Additifs alimentaires
  • Boulangerie
DEF

Substance naturelle ou artificielle susceptible de dégager du gaz carbonique sous l'effet de la chaleur, simulant ainsi la fermentation biologique de la pâte enfournée.

OBS

On peut citer, parmi les agents de levage : la levure, le lait sur, l'air, la vapeur, le bicarbonate [de soude] et autres levures chimiques [la poudre à pâte, par exemple].

In American English, a "biscuit" is a small bread made with baking powder or baking soda as a leavening agent rather than yeast(although a type of biscuit called an "angel biscuit" contains yeast as well, as do those made with a sourdough starter). This roughly corresponds to a "scone" in British English usage.
