Soft-wheat flours are sold for general family use, as biscuit or cake flours, and for the commercial production of crackers, pretzels, cakes, cookies, and pastry. The protein in soft wheat flour mns from 7 to 10%. There are differences in appearance, texture, and absorption capacity between hard- and soft-wheat flour subjected to the same milling procedures. Hard-wheat flour falls into separate particles if shaken in the hand whereas, soft-wheat flour tends to clump and hold its shape if pressed together. Hard-wheat flour feels slightly coarse and granular when mbbed between the fingers soft-wheat flour feels soft and smooth. Hard-wheat flour absorbs more Hquid than does soft-wheat flour. Consequently, many recipes recommend a variable measure of either flour or Hquid to achieve a desired consistency. 

Fum ric Acid. Eumaric acid [110-17-8] C H O, is unique in its low solubiUty in cold water and slow rate of solution, making it ideal for use in chilled biscuit leavening systems and for dry pudding mixes and beverage powders. It is also used for gelatin desserts, pie filling, fmit juices, and wine. Eumaric acid is produced by the acid-catalyzed isomerization of maleic acid (8,9) (see Maleic anhydride, maleic acid, and fumaric acid). 

A commercially interesting low calorie fat has been produced from sucrose. Proctor Gamble has patented a mixture of penta- to octafatty acid ester derivatives of sucrose under the brand name Olestra. It was approved by the FDA in January 1996 for use as up to 100% replacement for the oil used in preparing savory snacks and biscuits. Olestra, a viscous, bland-tasting Hquid insoluble in water, has an appearance and color similar to refined edible vegetable oils. It is basically inert from a toxicity point of view as it is not metabolized or absorbed. It absorbs cholesterol (low density Hpoprotein) and removes certain fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Hence, Olestra has to be supplemented with these vitamins. No standard LD q tests have been performed on Olestra however, several chronic and subchronic studies were performed at levels of 15% in the diet, and no evidence of toxicity was found. No threshold limit value (TLV), expressed as a maximum exposure per m of air, has been estabhshed, but it is estimated to be similar to that of an inert hpid material at 5 mg/m. ...

Cocoa powder production today is an important part of the cocoa and chocolate industry because of increased consumption of chocolate-flavored products. Cocoa powder is the basic flavoring ingredient in most chocolate-flavored cookies, biscuits, symps, cakes, and ice cream. It is also used extensively in the production of confectionery coatings for candy bars. 

A neutral bacterial endoprotease can be used to weaken the gluten in wheat flour, if necessary, or to provide the plastic properties required ia a dough used for biscuits.

A baker counts biscuits in dozens—a convenient number. Money is counted in dollars— one hundred cents is, again, a convenient number. How did chemists choose to count in terms of moles—the number 6.02 X 10 seems an odd choice. Why, for instance, didn t they settle on some simpler number, such as exactly one billion particles There is a reason. Chemists prefer a definition in terms of a quantity that can be measured readily and with high accuracy. Weigh-... 

Biscuit Mixes. Biscuit mixes are often packaged in printed paper/ heat sealant-coated pouches. At one time the paper was coated with polyethylene and PVDC (as the sealing medium) for grease resistance, since many biscuit mixes contain up to 12% shortening. Many grease spots appeared on pouches because of cracks appearing in the brittle PVDC... 

Ecstasy (Adam, brownies, burgers, Dennis the Menace, disco biscuits, doves, E, Edward, essence, fantasy, love doves, M and Ms, New Yorkers, rhubarb and custard, shamrocks, white doves, X, XTC) is an illegally manufactured drug that comes in tablet or capsule form. The appearance varies considerably ranging from brown, white or pink tablets to yellow, clear, red and black or red and yellow capsules, often with pictures, designs or logos. It is taken orally.
