Bread dextrose

Yeast Fermenting in Dough. When yeast is in a bread dough the traces of sugars present can be fermented directly. As yeast contains the enzyme invertase, any sucrose present can be inverted into dextrose and fructose which can then be fermented. If any dextrose from a high DE glucose syrup is present then it can be directly fermented. If there is any lactose present it can not be fermented at all. Similarly, any polyols such as sorbitol can not be fermented. 

Sometimes fermentability is sought, as for bread baking and brewing sometimes it is avoided, as with preserves. Whatever the objective, a suitable combination of dextrose equivalent and concentration can usually be found to do this job. 

They say, Like many other acids, glutamic acid matures or ages the dough and, in addition increases the gas production of the yeast. This accelerating effect upon the yeast was observed in bread and likewise in fermentating cane sugar, dextrose, and malt extract. 

Com syrup lAlso see SYRUPS.) Made by heating cornstarch with acid in closed tanks. To sweeten many foods, and as a spread lor bread, pancakes, and waffles. Recently, a process was developed tor convening some of the dextrose in com syrup mto fructose, thereby tesuivng in a sweeter syrup. 

Maltose—Malt sugar is formed from starch by the action of yeast. Maltose is much less sweet than sugar. Preparations containing maltose, often in mixture with dextrose, are used in bread-baking and in infant foods. 

Take a piece of bread and place it in your mouth. After a few minntes it will begin to taste distinctly sweet, as if yon had added sngar to it. Indeed, in a way, this is what happened. The acid and enzymes in your sahva have cleaved the starch in the bread into its component units glucose molecules. You aU know glucose as dextrose or grape sugar. The polymer, starch, and its monomer, glucose, are two examples of carbohydrates.
