INITIAL FERMENTATION [6 records]

Record 1 2017-12-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biotechnology
  • Viticulture
  • Winemaking
CONT

High temperature during fermentation is the only direct factor that kills cells. The maximum temperature that a cell can tolerate depends on the health of the cell, the initial osmotic stress and the stress that occurs in the growth phase. Different enological yeast have different levels of temperature resistance. In most Mediterranean musts, the risk of cell death becomes HIGH above 28°C(82°F).

CONT

Osmotic shock results from the juice’s concentration in sugar. It’s the first important stage in the life of a population of oenological yeast.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biotechnologie
  • Viticulture
  • Industrie vinicole
CONT

Les limites de la transgenèse pour la levure œnologique sont d'ordre réglementaire, d'acceptabilité par le consommateur et de risque, ainsi, bien sûr que d'ordre technologique et scientifique.

Record 2 2015-04-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Breadmaking
DEF

... the period between mixing and makeup.

CONT

Modern practices have reduced the traditionally long fermentation times from six or more hours to two to four hours ...

CONT

After the initial fermentation, the bulk dough mass is cut into pieces calculated to yield the desired size of roll or loaf.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Boulangerie
DEF

Période de fermentation se situant entre la fin du pétrissage et le premier tourné.

OBS

Le pointage peut se faire en deux parties selon le mode de panification employé: 1 une période de fermentation de masse d'une durée de 3 à 4 heures qui a lieu dans la chambre de fermentation (cette notion s'appelle «fermentation time» en anglais), 2 une courte période de repos pendant laquelle s'effectue une reprise de la fermentation (cette notion s'appelle «floor time» en anglais).

Record 3 2003-12-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
CONT

Vinegar production is a two-stage process, where an initial alcoholic fermentation carried out by a yeast is followed by a bacterial acetification stage.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
DEF

[Transformation] par fermentation [d'] un liquide alcoolisé en vinaigre. (cela revient à oxyder l'alcool éthylique qu'il contient en acide acétique).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Elementos y compuestos químicos
DEF

Transformación de una sustancia en otra que contenga ácido acético: particularmente la del vino en vinagre.

Record 4 2002-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Breadmaking
DEF

A piece of dough cut from a previous batch of bread which is used to make a levain or starter for the next bread.

CONT

All sour-typed doughs use a starter in the initial stage. The starter is taken from a ripe sour. It can also be produced by "spontaneous fermentation"-a process that is initiated by bacteria indigenous to the flour and by airborne organisms infecting the flour.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Boulangerie
DEF

Morceau de pâte prélevé sur une des fournées du jour, dont le volume, pendant l'intervalle qui sépare deux fabrications, est progressivement augmenté pour aboutir au levain destiné à ensemencer la pâte de la première fournée du lendemain.

Record 5 2001-07-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
  • Breadmaking
CONT

Unfortunately for the baker, the water absorption at mixing, as determined with the farinograph, does not necessarily relate to baking absorption which is normally judged by the handling properties of the dough at panning and not at the initial mixing stage. The reason is that during fermentation, dough softens and takes on a much lower consistency when remixed or subsequently worked.

French

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

Malheureusement pour le boulanger, l'absorption de l'eau au pétrissage, telle qu'on l'établit au farinographe, n'est pas nécessairement en rapport avec l'hydratation de la farine, qui s'apprécie normalement par les qualités de travail de la pâte lors de la mise en forme et non au début du pétrissage. La raison en est que, pendant la fermentation, la pâte s'amollit et prend une consistance nettement moins ferme quand on fait un repétrissage ou qu'on la retravaille ultérieurement.
