Baking is a critical process in
bread processing the high energy reaction phase maximizing chemical and physical
transformations of dough into finished products. Basically purpose of baking
are drying, coloring and cooking.
Princple of baking process can
describe as below process.
Behind this simple description are a great many different physical and
chemical changes, which are summarised as follows.
Gas production by the yeast continues as the dough temperature rises in
the early stages of baking. When all of the dough exceeds 43 ºC the rate of gas
production falls and eventually ceases by 55 ºC. While the dough surface is
rapidly heated and yeast activity ceases there the poor heat conductivity of
dough means that the centre continues to produce carbon dioxide gas for some
time after the crust has formed. The force that is created by the expanding
centre means that tin dough springs upwards, creating oven spring.
The dough is also being expanded
by steam pressure and the expansion of trapped gases.
The dough loses moisture with increasing baking time. The moisture
losses are greatest from the crust and this encourages the formation of a crisp
eating, crusty layer. The Millard reactions begin to develop the crust colour.
The starch begins to swell and gelatinise. At this time more of it
becomes susceptible to the action of any -amylase enzymes present and the
breakdown to sticky dextrin and maltose is accelerated by the higher
temperatures.
In the dough the gas bubbles present are separated from one another by
a thin protective film. Since they are not connected with one another they are
commonly described as‘foam’. As baking proceeds, the loss of water makes the
gluten protective film become more rigid and the pressures within the gas
bubbles rupture the protective films. The foam in the dough is converted to a sponge,
which is a system in which all the cells are open and interconnected. At this
time the volume of the baking loaf falls slightly as the internal and external
gas pressures are equalised.
Moisture continues to be lost while the product remains in the oven.
All of the necessary changes from dough to baked product are usually
achieved by the time that the product centre reaches a temperature between 92
and 96 ºC.
