Solution

  • The most common bakery item is bread.
  • Baker's yeast also known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used in the making of bread and other bakery products.
  • It helps the dough to 'rise' (leavening) which makes the bread soft and fluffy.
  • They are most widely used in the food industry due to their ability to ferment sugars to ethanol and carbon dioxide.
  • Bacteria are also an important source for the production and preservation of food.
  • Lactobacillus species or lactic acid bacteria help in converting milk to curd.
  • In milk chilling centre, chilling is necessary to:-
1) Limit the growth of bacteria
2) Minimise micro- induced changes
