Considering that neither efforts nor expense have been spared in time, study, and original investigation so as to make this Manual a credit to the industries which it represents, as indeed also to the Institute itself, we may be permitted to transgress from the usual practice and enlarge somewhat more upon its scope. In the compilation of the data presented in the following pages, the fact was not overlooked that this manual as the name correctly indicates, was to serve as a ready and immediate reference book and at the same time we have constantly borne in mind the dire necessity of presenting in a brief, yet concise form the more pertinent elementary principles of the sciences involved. More space has been devoted to some subjects than to others, but this is only true in such instances where brevity might entail an incorrect understanding, which we aim to avoid more particularly so "where relating to the application of science to practice. Referring again to the compilation of the data it must be added that it has been found more expedient to re-arrange the same on a somewhat different plan than what had originally been anticipated, as was indicated by the sample copy of the table of contents which was issued before the matter had all gone to press. We are convinced that a perusal of the Manual will make this readily evident, as also the further fact that only by this change were we able to add other chapters, and at the same time present the matter in a systematic manner. in While the first chapter treats on milling exclusively, it must not be overlooked that the same is also important to the baker in the same measure, as the contents of the following chapters are equally pertinent to the miller. This fact will become readily apparent when referring to the subject of Flour under Baking Materials, Chapter II, Flour Analysis, Chapter V, and more particularly so in the chapters relating to Chemistry, Physics, Microscopy, and Mensuration, containing, as they do, what might be termed the meat of these subjects in a concrete and what is especially important definite manner. Chapter II of this Manual brings a condensed yet compre- hensive discussion of baking materials, primarily flour and flour blending, but also of the various other materials and their composition including yeast foods and bread improvers, and is followed in Chapter III by a more extensive and com- plete discussion of the technology of baking, including sponge and straight dough processes and fermentation as also the proofing, panning and baking of bread, a few special points of practical importance being discussed in Chapter IV. The Manual suggests a systematic and accurate control of all the conditions that enter into consideration, at the same time giving a treatise on methods such as are mentioned in no other volume. "Time is Money" is one of the maxims of modern indus- trial life. This Manual will be found a time-saver, owing to its condensed arrangement of subjects. It relieves the man in charge of the necessity of consulting three or four other books, in order to be posted, while giving him at the same time, a complete knowledge and control of all the details of operation. The fundamental principle of modern successful business methods is to reduce the cost of manufacture to a minimum, without impairing the quality of the product or- to produce a better article without increased cost in manufacture. With that in mind we have also added a book of records such that if properly adhered to forms an accurate and concise outline of the details of the entire operation of the Bake-shop, and from a careful perusal and analysis of such a completed report, the Baker is able to determine the optimum conditions for nianu- IV facture. From the reports, lie may readily see the influence of different ingredients that enter into his formula, of the effect of temperature, humidity and pressure and time, etc., on fermentation and that upon the quality of the loaf. From these observations he is enabled to have a complete and accu- rate control and knowledge of his product both as to proper conditions for manufacture and as to the cost of the product. AVe wish to point out and emphasize the convenient form in which the formulas for different cakes and bread are intro- duced and contained. The charts are so arranged that the Baker has ready access to the many formulas, each of which has proven to be an excellent one. Some of the formulas are standard ones, but many are new and are included inas- much as after a thorough trial they have given excellent products: As already stated the writing and compilation of the mate- rial for such a book as this has necessitated arduous effort on our part in an endeavor to reduce the errata to a minimum. In spite of our diligence, however, errors may have crept in, and the Industry will confer a favor upon the Institute by bringing them to our attention. Furthermore, any suggestions as to the arrangement or otherwise, will be welcomed so that we may make the necessary changes in subsequent editions. We are indebted to the individual members of the Faculty whose arduous devotion has made this Book possible, and we feel that the result of their efforts merits the commendation of the members of the Baking and Milling Industry to whose judgment this Book is confidently submitted. Very respectfully, SIEBEL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. Table of Contents. DISCOURSE ON MODERN MILLING AND BAKING TECHNOLOGY AND BAKING MATERIALS. Introduction. CHAPTER I. Milling Technology.

XIII DISCOURSE ON MODERN MILLING AND BAKING TECHNOLOGY AND BAKING MATERIALS. Introduction. The progress that has been manifested in the Milling and Baking Industry in. the last few years is indicative of the scientific study of the conditions that enter into and effect these industries, and only since science has entered into these fields has any real progress been made. Of the two, that of Milling has certainly been the most alert to the advantages to be derived by the application of Science to Practice, as is so well evidenced by the completely equipped laboratories under the guidance of thoroughly com- petent chemists which form an important unit of the great flour mills of this >country. Yet, in spite of this, the number of mills that apply technical control to their operation is exceedingly small as compared to the total number of fairly large sized mills in operation. This is probably explained in that the average mill owner or operator, did either not have the opportunity of becoming acquainted, that is understandingly so, with the principles of the sciences upon which his practices are based, or else that he had gathered the impression that the chemistry, physics, etc., required in milling, differed from that required in other in- dustries. It is for these reasons that we solicit both the mill owner and operator, that in addition to such study as they may give to Chapter I, which is confined to Milling, they also give equal, if indeed not greater, attention to the thorough treament of flour in Chapter II under baking materials, and again Chap- ter V under analysis of flours and more especially to such chapters which relate in a concise and instructive manner to the subjects of chemistry, physics and microscopy. Bread making is a craft dating back to earliest history — and our records show that in the year 150 B. C. the city of Rome had municipal inspection of the bakeries which were then producing bread using a "sponge" system and sour dough (Sauerteig). This system had been little changed until within comparative recent years through the advent of com- pressed yeast which was the result of years of careful scientific research. Simultaneously came chemistry and physics into the In- dustry and have shown the Baker that temperature and pres- sure have their effect on the dough, that humidity influences the fermentation, that there is an optimum temperature at which dough should be maintained, etc. It has gone farther than demonstrating the existence of these varying factors — it has explained them and has given the Baker methods by which he may control them. The extent to which the various sug- gestions of science have been followed indicates closely and accurately the success of the Baker. The Baker with a tech- nical education immediately recognizes that flour may be pur- chased to advantage through a chemical analysis, that scienti- fic blending of flours produces flour of desired quality, and that different procedures in mixing of doughs produce char- acteristic results in the baked loaf, and so on. In the following chapters, these several varying factors and phases of baking will be developed completely, showing the effect of using different kinds of flour, different methods of mixing doughs and results to be looked for in using the several bread improvers and yeast foods. CHAPTER I. Milling Technology.* CHARACTERISTICS AND PROPERTIES OF WHEAT. Wheat for the Milling of Flour. Among the countless varieties of cereals a rather large number are more or less adaptable for the milling of flour; however, the cereal wheat stands out foremost among these for milling purposes, not alone in that it yields a large per- centage of flour, but also that the flour milled therefrom pro- duces at the same time a palatable and highly nutritious loaf of bread which is good in color and fine in texture. Flour is also milled from rye and other cereals such as corn and even potato flour can be and indeed is employed in the making of bread and other baked food ; nevertheless neither one of these flours can replace wheat flour fully, so that in this sense they can at the most be considered only as adjuncts to wheat which for centuries has been the most universally used flour yielding cereal of the world. Differences in Wheat. Wheat like many other plants is cultivated in a great num- ber of recognized varieties which differ morphologically as well as chemically, at least insofar as they contain varying per- centages of the different substances making up the wheat berry, although the same are in general common to all cereals. A further difference between these different kinds of wheat is particularly to be found in their cultivation which is largely dependent on the respective climatic conditions, since certain varieties cannot withstand the severe cold prevailing during the winter season in some parts of the country, and therefore must be planted in spring, whereas others are sown in fall. These conditions again having an effect upon the consti- tuents of the wheat berry, it becomes at once evident that the different kinds of wheat must produce flours possessing en- tirely different properties, which is enlarged upon in Chap- ter II. * See also flour, Chapter II and flour analysis, Chapter V. 3 Structure and Composition of Wheat Berry. If a section of a wheat berry is placed under a magnifying glass, it will be observed that the same does not present a homogeneous appearance, but rather shows to consist of layers of different materials. (See Plates II and III.) The first or outer layer is the cuticle or epidermis, followed by two other strata, consisting of long and round cells and termed epicarp and endoearp respectively. Next follows a thin layer, the testa, containing the color- ing matter of the skin of the grain, and it is these four layers together which form the entire coating or skin enveloping the endosperm or mealy part of the grain, and which are generally designated as bran. The inner and greatest part of the berry is the endosperm, of which the layer immediately beneath the skin or bran con- sists of large and practically cubical cells, called aleurone cells containing chiefly protein (not gluten), a little fat and mineral salts, while the longer and larger cells filling up the central part of the endosperm contain starch granules enclosed in a thin cellular wall and surrounded by gluten. At the lower end of the grain the germ or embryo is located, from which the new plant will grow if the berry commences to germinate after being planted or sown in the ground. From this it is to be observed that not alone the percentage of the various substances making up the whole wheat berry will be very uneven, but that this is also true of their distribu- tion in the grain. In general it can be said that the bran con- sists almost entirely of cellulose, coloring matter and mineral salts, the endosperm contains chiefly starch and gluten, as also other protein in the aleurone cells, but very little cellulose, while the germ is filled with fat, some protein and mineral mat- ter, but is practically free of starch. Starch and protein pos- sess nutritive value and this is to a certain measure also true of the mineral salts; cellulose, however, being indigestible for the human system, is of no value as a food. Therefore to grind the wheat into flour of the highest qual- ity a two-fold object must be attained; aside of reducing the contents of the wheat berry into an impalpable powder, the particles of germ, bran and endosperm must be separated at the same time as much as possible, and it is chiefly for this sec- ond reason that the modern process of milling has necessarily become a rather elaborate one, making it more and more desir- able, if indeed not imperative, for the miller to support his practical experience with a thorough scientific training. As already indicated, the composition of wheat varies con- siderably with the different varieties, at least as far as the percentage of the various constituents is concerned, the fol- lowing table must therefore be understood to give only the typical composition of an average sample of wheat. Average Composition of Wheat. Water 13.5% Starch _ 679'' Protein 12 5" Cellulose (fibre) 2.6 " Fat ' iju Mineral salts (ash) 1.8 " Varieties of Wheat. Although more than 200 different types and varieties of wheat are known and have been named, yet for all practical purposes a classification into four or five general, large groups or classes will suffice to insure an understanding of the essen- tial characteristic differences of these types as are grown in this country, as well as of the flours milled therefrom. 1. In the northern states, Minnesota, the Dakotas, North- ern Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska, where the climate is rather cold in winter, hard Spring wheat is grown. It is of red color and contains in the average the highest percentage of gluten, 11 to 16%, making a strong flour. 2. In the middle states between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains, south of Minnesota and the Dakotas, hard Winter wheat varieties are prevalent. They are like the Spring wheats of red color, but somewhat lower in gluten, 9 to 11%, and yield fairly strong flours. 3. In the central and Atlantic states, varieties known as soft Winter wheat are chiefly grown. They are generally much lighter in color, from amber to only a light red, and character- 5 ized by the much lower percentage of gluten, which amounts in the average to 6 to 9%, in consequence of which these wheats will yield weak flours, but of good color. 4. Very light colored wheat, so called white wheat which is also soft and rich in starch is grown on the Pacific coast and on the western slope of the Eocky Mountains. Since these wheats contain the lowest percentage of gluten of all varieties, from 4 to 7%, the flour made from these types is like that from the soft Winter wheats, weak but rich in starch. 5. A special variety of hard and glassy wheat of yellow color, known as Durum wheat is grown in some southern states, as also in Montana. The same is very high in gluten, 14 to 17% ; however, the gluten is very hard and by reason of its highly creamy color, flour made from this wheat is litttle used for bread making ; it is, however, largely employed for the manufacture of maccaronis and noodles. TREATMENT OF WHEAT PRECEDING MILLING. Blending of Wheat. Differences similar to those with reference to gluten are to be observed in the different varieties of wheat also with reference to other properties of the flour made therefrom, most notably in the color, however, they do not necessarily run parallel. In consequence thereof the best grades of flour are not obtained by milling only one definite variety or kind of wheat, which is generally also excluded for practical reasons, but rather by employing a mixture of different varieties, blended in such a way, that, for example, the excess of gluten In the one makes up the deficiency of this substance in the other, while possibly the better color of the second wheat will im- prove the somewhat pooreV color of the first. Hence, the blending of wheat is a necessity and it is only by a judicious application of this procedure that a product of uniformly high quality can be obtained not alone during one season but for years, if this blending is done rationally, and proper consideration is given to the characteristics of the varieties to be used for this purpose. Cleaning 1 , Scouring and Tempering" of Wheat. Wheat as it arrives at the mill contains considerable for- eign matter, seeds, dirt, etc., which must be fully removed by a thorough cleaning and grading process and the more thor- oughly this is done the greater will be its influence upon the quality of the final product, a fact which should not be under- estimated. It is true not all mills do require nor do they use the same machinery or appliances for this purpose ; nevertheless certain machines must be employed in every mill. After the preliminary cleaning of the wheat in the ware- house by passing through a separator which is sometimes con- nected with a scouring machine, it undergoes its first treat- ment in the mill by passing through the mill separator of which in some mills two or even three are employed for this purpose. This serves to remove such foreign substances as strings, stones, corn cobs, pieces of wood, paper, short straw, but also shrunken and broken wheat grains, barley, oats, beans, larger seeds, dust, chaff and etc. From the separator the wheat passes to the scourer, in which by mechanical agitation impurities still clinging to the wheat kernel are loosened, the fine hairs at the end of the berries are broken off as is also a portion of the outer skin and any chaff which had not been removed in the separator. The wheat should next undergo a special treatment desig- nated as tempering or conditioning, which is performed in what is known as the tempering bin. At this stage the wheat receives an addition of water vary- ing from 1 to 4%, depending upon the dryness and hardness of the wheat; the water which is mixed very thoroughly has the effect not only to loosen any dirt which had been clinging to the kernels so persistently as to resist previous scouring, but also toughens the bran, so that in grinding it will come off in large flakes, instead of in fine powdery form as would otherwise be true by reason of its natural brittleness. The proper tempering of wheat is attained by allowing it to remain in the bin for quite some time, generally from 4 to 7 hours, depending as stated upon the condition of the wheat. The wheat is then subjected to a second scouring' which re- moves whatever has been loosened in the conditioning stage and which, as it were, puts the final touches on the wheat be- fore it is ready for the milling process proper. MILLING OF WHEAT. The wheat having been thoroughly cleaned by the separat- ing, cleaning and scouring process then passes to the mills. Here it is reduced to flour, but at the same time all those parts of the berry which are undesirable in the flour, bran and germ, are removed. Since this, however, can never be accom- plished by grinding the wheat directly into flour but only by a rather gradual reduction, so a series of mills and scalpers and graders or sifters must be employed for this purpose, tne num- ber of which depends on both the capacity of the mill as also the different grades of flour that are to be made. The rolls used for this purpose in sets of two, are of two different types : the one corrugated, called break rolls, the others smooth and called reduction rolls. Even small mills should have at least three sets of break rolls and five sets of reduction rolls, while large mills and any mill making a number of different grades of flour must have more, say five or six breaks and from nine to thirteen sets of reduction rolls and a corresponding number of sifters and purifiers. A high grade flour and a good yield at the same time can only be obtained if the bran and germ is separated as fully as possibly from the mealy part of the endosperm ; hence, the principle to be strictly observed in milling, is to break up the wheat berry by the first break only into very large particles, making at this stage as little flour as possible, but producing rather a large percentage of coarse and mealy middlings. It is then the gradual reduction by means of the reduction rolls of these middlings, after they had been scalped and graded by properly selected sifters which will result in flours of the highest quality, generally designated as "patent flours." In this grade of flour are to be combined only those mill streams which are obtained from the best middlings, while the balance of the streams are included in the "clear" grades. For "straight" flours no such selections of the different mill streams is required, but they are all combined, under- standing, of course, that the bran and the very last flour that can be obtained from the same, the "low grade," are always separated. PRODUCTS OBTAINED. Different Grades of Flour.* From the foregoing, it appears that the different grades of flour must show notable differences in their composition, as particularly manifested in their respective percentage of gluten and ash, as also in their color. The "patent" flours, chiefly made from the more central parts of the endosperm are low in gluten and ash, but they will possess the best color. The "clear" flours on the other side are highest in gluten and ash, and since they contain also more particles of bran their color will be darkest, if we do not include in here the "low grade" flours, which indeed do not come into considera- tion for bread making. The "straight" flours stand, as it were, between the "patents" and the "clears," that is, they are higher in gluten and ash than the patents, but lower than the clears, and the same is true of their color. This is shown more in detail in the comparative analysis of these flours, given in Chapter II, under the heading of flour. But even between different flours representing the same grade, for example between a number of "patent" flours, again characteristic differences are to be observed, although these flours might have been milled from the same wheat, insofar the percentage of endosperm particles or middlings, included in the respective flour as compared with the total See also grades of flour, Chapter II. amount of flour obtainable, will influence percentage of gluten and ash as well as color. In the case of patent flours the lower the percentage of the flour, the lower will be the gluten and ash and the lighter will be the color, as evidenced by the so-called "short" or "first" patents, while the "long" or "second" patents con- sisting of a higher percentage of the endosperm, will be corre- spondingly higher in gluten and ash and somewhat poorer in color. This is also true of 'straight" flours, while in the case of clear flour, the conditions are just opposite.- In "clears" gluten and ash will be lowest and the color lighter with a higher percentage of flour and reversedly. Bleaching of Flour. One of the most apparent and therefore most desirable properties of flour is its white color, which, if representing the natural color of the starchy contents of the endosperm, is in- deed an indication of high quality. However, for lower grades of flour a better color is also desirable, therefore to obtain this result from that part of the endosperm containing more branny material, bleaching of the flour is frequently resorted to, the more readily so because it has been observed, that particularly new flour is improved thereby also in other directions. A more detailed discussion of the processes used for this purpose will be found in Chapter II on flour, to which refer- ence is made herewith. Use of Offals. The various by-products and offals obtained in the making of flour, bran and shorts, screenings, shrunken wheat, buck wheat, oats and barley, are generally used for making up various feeding mixtures for cattle, horses, hogs and chickens. In mixing these feeds and particularly if the same should serve any special purpose the composition of the various ingre- dients entering into the feed, especially with reference to their relative percentages of starch or other carbohydrates, protein, fat and crude fiber must be taken into due consideration as is demonstrated in the following analysis and opinion on same. Analysis of Commercial Feeds.

Sample labeled "No. 2" Red Dog Flour, does not come up to the requirements in that its protein content is below one- half that required by standard, while its fat is somewhat higher, as also by reason of the fact that the same in reality represents a hominy feed. Sample labeled "No. 3" (Rye Middlings) comes up fully to the required standard, with the possible exception that the fat content is about 0.87% below. Sample labeled "No. 4" represents Malt Sprouts, and does not come up to the standard in protein content by some 12%, while its fibre content exceeds by 77c the required amount. These conditions, that is low protein and high fibre content, are attributable to an excessive amount of barley hulls contained in this feed. Not infrequently, the addition of special other materials, such as oil cake or cotton seed meal, brewers dried grains, molasses and even mineral matter in form of ground bones, is desirable in some instances. n CHAPTER II Baking Materials. FLOUR. Different Kinds of Flour. There are four different and distinct kinds of flour on the market, namely, hard Spring wheat flour, hard "Winter wheat flour, soft Winter wheat flour and Durum wheat flour. Each kind possesses widely different qualities and qualifications in regard to bread making, and cake and pastry baking. Hard Spring Wheat Flour. The principal kind to be considered is hard Spring wheat flour, which is milled from hard Spring wheat grown in Min- nesota and North Dakota and the area immediately adjacent. This flour has a rich creamy color and possesses a high con- tent of gluten which is of the best quality. The flour is "sharp" or granular to the "feel," and because of its gluten quality and content, produces a well risen loaf of bread. A vigorous fermentation is required for the proper development of the gluten, which becomes elastic, tenacious and pliable. Hard Winter Wheat Flour. Hard "Winter wheat flour, as indicated, is milled from hard "Winter wheat and has as a synonym the name Kansas Flour because Kansas produces most of the hard "Winter wheat flour. Nebraska also produces a large amount of hard "Winter wheat flour. It is of good color, well defined flavor and rather strong gluten, although not so strong as the Spring wheat flours. In the bread-making industry only the Spring wheat flour and the hard "Whiter wheat flour are to be considered, inasmuch as soft W 7 inter wheat flour is seldom used. Gen- erally a blend of the first two mentioned is used — and are so blended as to combine the desirable features of the strong gluten in Spring wheat flour with the superior flavor and color of Kansas flour.* *See Blending of Flour. Soft Winter Wheat Flour. The third kind of flour is the soft wheat flour or soft Win- ter wheat flour, grown throughout the Central States and on the Western Coast. It has a low gluten content, the gluten is poor in quality, and produces a loaf of bread very poor in quality as compared to Spring wheat flour. The flour itself is very white, has a soft and "fluffy" texture and possesses an excellent flavor, but on account of the low gluten content and its poor quality, it is seldom used in bread making. The soft Winter wheat flour is used to advantage as a pastry flour, on account of its color and of the fact that less short- ening is required, and further because there is no demand made upon the gluten of the flour such as is necessary in pro- ducing a loaf of bread. Durum Wheat Flour. Durum wheat flour is a yellowish, creamy product, milled from Durum wheat which is an extremely hard wheat grown in Western North Dakota and Montana. The flour is very granular, has a high content of gluten which is very strong and hard, and consequently develops somewhat slowly in fer- mentation. Because of its high creamy color which is retained to quite some extent in the baked product, it is seldom used alone for bread-making; a mixture however of soft Winter wheat flour with Durum wheat flour produces a blend very suitable for bread. It is chiefly employed in the manufacture of maccaroni, noodles, etc. Composition of Flour. The composition of the several kinds of flour varies with climatic conditions, so that a Spring wheat flour in one part of Minnesota may not be exactly the same as one grown in another part of Minnesota, and the same may be said of Kan- sas flours. The soft wheats grown in Ohio and Michigan for instance produce a flour of higher gluten content than the flour milled from the wheats grown in Illinois, while the flour produced from the wheats grown in the mountains of Ten- nessee produces a gluten content still higher than the average soft wheat flours. 13 The seasonal changes have a decided effect upon wheat and upon the flour milled from it. For instance a dry hot season fosters the development of a higher gluten content, while a wet and cold season produces a wheat lower in gluten and higher in carbohydrates. Thus, the flour produced by any one mill will vary from season to season, and, unless the miller exercises a scientific and rigid control over the plant, it is impossible to find the same brand of flour of uniform- quality, year after year. Composition of the Patent Grade of Hard Spring, Hard Winter, and Soft Winter Wheat Flour. Spring Hard Soft Standard Winter Winter Moisture 11.40 % 12.52 % 12.36 % Color 100.00 101.00 103.00 Ash 0.420% 0.406% 0.372 % Absorption 61.00 " 57.50 " 54.00 " Gluten 10.95 " 9.86 " 8.32 " Protein (Nx6.25) .... 11.16 " 10.06 " 8.52 " Loaves per barrel 100.00 97.60 94.20 Volume of loaf 100.00 98.60 96.30 Quality of loaf 100.00 97.00 97.00 From the foregoing analysis it is very evident that the differences in the three flours, hard Spring wheat flour, hard Winter wheat flour and soft Winter wheat flour, are manifested in many ways. The ash content is high in the Spring wheat flour and low in the soft Winter wheat flour, while the absorp- tion, gluten, loaves per barrel and quality of the loaf, decrease in the same order. Grades of Flour. In milling it is found convenient to divide the product into several grades, such as first patent, second patent, straight, clear, low grade, and the quality of the flour under each grade varies according to the individual miller. For instance a patent flour from one mill may comprise 65-70% of the total available flour, while another so-called patent comprises 85 to 90% of the total flour, and although they are both "pat- ents" the quality of one is much better than that of the other. With the idea of standardization of flour the U. S. 14 Dept. of Agriculture has suggested — but has not as yet adopted — the following definitions of standards. Straight Flour, made from hard Spring, soft Spring, hard Winter, Durum or soft Winter wheats, is the fine, clean, sound, unbleached product made from such wheat meals by bolting or by a process accomplishing the same result, from which none of the purified middlings flour shall have been removed, and which does not exceed 97% of the total nour produced, and contains not less than a specified percentage of nitrogen (1.50 for hard Spring and hard Winter, 1.75 for Durum, 1.15 for soft Winter), not more than 0.50% of fibre, and not more than a specified percentage of ash, (0.52 for hard Spring, 0.50 for hard Winter, 0.65 for Durum, 0.44 for soft Winter), when these determinations are calculated to a moisture content of 11%. Patent Flour, made from hard Spring, soft Spring, hard Winter, soft Winter or Durum wheats, is the fine, clean, sound, unbleached product made from such wheat meals by bolting or by a process accomplishing the same results, pro- duced by the reduction of the best of the purified middlings, and containing not more than a specified percentage of ash (0.42 for hard Spring, 0.40 for hard Winter, 0.37 for soft Win- ter, 0.55 for Durum), when calculated to a moisture content of 11%. First Clear Flour, made from hard Spring, soft Spring, hard Winter, soft Winter or Durum wheats, is a straight flour made from such wheats from which the patent flour or a por- tion of the purified middlings has been removed, and which shall not contain more than a specified percentage of ash (0.80 for hard Spring, 0.70 for hard Winter, 0.60 for soft Win- ter, 1.0 for Durum), when calculated to a moisture content of 11%. Whole Wheat Meal (Flour) is the fine, clean, sound product made by grinding wheat without the removal of more than 1% of the wheat in the form of bran. Bolted Wheat Meal (Fine Wheat Meal) is the fine, clean, sound product made by grinding wheat without the removal of more than 10% of the wheat in the form of bran. Graham Flour (Graham Meal) is the unbolted wheat meal made from clean, sound wheat. Rye Flour is the fine, clean, sound product made by bolt- ing rye meal, and contains not less than 1.36% of nitrogen, and not more than 1.25% of ash, when these determinations are calculated to a moisture content of 11%. First patent includes generally about 70% of the best portion of the flour and second patent comprises about 85%. of the total flour, while "straight" is the total flour from which has been excluded only 3-5% of "low grade." Clear flour is that portion amounting to 15-30% that remains after drawing off the patent flour. Average Analysis of Different Grades of Flour, Milled from Hard Spring Wheat. First Low 1st Pat. 2d Pat. Straight Clear Grade Moisture.. 12.86 % 13.08 % 13.24 % 13.76 % 14.36 % Color 100.00 " 95.50 " 91.00" 70.00 " 49.00 " Ash 0.421" 0.448/' 0.486" 0.680" 0.890" Absorption 62.00 " 63.00 " 64.00 " 65.00 " 68.00 " Gluten (dry) 10.84 " 10.98 " 11.46 " 12.36 " 13.54 " Loaves per barrel 100.00 101.60 103.20 104.80 109.70 Volume of loaf 100.00 98.60 95.90 93.70 91.30 Quality of loaf 100.00 97.50 96.80 95.00 84.00 AVEVEAGE VALUE. 100.00 98.30 96.73 90.88 83.50 Fermenting period 100.00 105.40 109.30 116.00 120.40 Quality of gluten 100.00 96.00 93.20 87.50 80.90 It is evident from this table of analysis that the quality of the first patent is much better than second patent, while the latter is better than the subsequent grades indicated. The gradations from first patent to low grade are more or less constant, increasing or decreasing as shown. For example : the color of the flour decreases as we pass from patent to low grade, while the ash content increases. The volume of the loaf and the quality of loaf as well as the quality of the gluten, which may be considered as indices of the quality of the bread produced therefrom, decrease most constantly, until it is evident from the analysis that the quality of a loaf of bread produced from the first clear or low grade flour, is so much below that produced from patent, that it is never 1G used alone in the baking industry. The poor quality, loaf volume, and the color of the baked loaf of the low grade flour is so low that it is never to any advantage to use it. The flour generally in use for bread making is a long patent — 65 to 90% — or straight grade. The detection of poorer grades of flour by analysis is both simple and desirable, especially since a lower grade may be treated — for instance, bleached — so it may pass as far as external appearances are concerned as a higher grade flour. However, in such instances a chemical analysis, as previously indicated, becomes the only method whereby the fraud may be definitely detected.* Storage of Flours. The question of storing of flour is quite as important as the buying, although usually it gets much less consideration. Flour should not contain more than 13% of moisture, because above that amount, there is danger of its spoiling — becoming musty or rancid. A high moisture content promotes the activity of the enzymes present in the flour, causing the small amount of fat contained in it to rancidify, producing a sharp taste and an unpleasant odor. Flour should be stored in a cool, dry, light place — never in a cold, dark basement nor upon the floor. All extremes of temperature and moisture are to be avoided. The optimum temperature for the store room is about 65-75 °F. with a rela- tive humidity near 70%. Flour very readily absorbs odors and should be carefully protected against them. Ventilation and proper circulation of air are necessary and flours in "jute" should be piled with a "two-by-four" between each tier. "When flour is stored in bags, it should be changed more or less frequently to allow the particles to come in contact with air, and to prevent it from packing. Storing of flour has a decidedly beneficial effect upon its quality. New flours generally become sticky upon being fer- mented in the dough, but proper aging is conducive to nor- mal fermentation. The effect is due to the decrease in quan- tity of gliadin, which is converted upon storing into glutenin. See Chapter V. The large percentage of gliadiii which gives to the gluten the sticky adhesive qualities is decreased until the gliadin ratio, that is the relative amount of gliadin in the gluten, is reduced to the optimum amount. Aging has a bleaching effect upon flour, and also tends to increase its power of absorption. Newly milled flour when properly stored, may lose 2 to 3% of moisture, but the ability to absorb water when made into the dough, increases at the same time often as much as 6 to 7%, so that the flour requires^ a larger amount of water to make the dough of the proper consistency. Flour Blending. Experience among bakers who have given consideration to the many variables that enter into a loaf of bread has shown that different flours exhibit quite different character- istics and qualities ; that wheats grown and best adapted to the several localities of the world, having as they do different climatic and soil conditions, produce flours that have inherent qualities and properties peculiarly distinct and individual. It is quite generally known that from the hard Spring wheats of Minnesota and Manitoba there is milled a flour of a rich creamy color, and whose gluten is very strong and elastic, its water absorbing power high, etc. It is also of record that the flour produced from the wheats in the south- west United States has a good color and flavor. Each different kind of flour, as a Northwest hard Spring and a Kansas South- west, shows a character decidedly of its own. Unfortunately no one wheat produces a flour that combines all the good quali- ties that the industry desires. Wheat seems to develop cer- tain qualities at the expense and neglect of others. This per- haps is the first and best reason that initiated blending of flours. The blending process may seem from this to be quite sim- ple. All that may seem necessary to do is to dump a sack of Kansas flour in a bin with another sack of Minnesota ; thereby obtaining a blend combining all the qualities that had been hoped for. However this is not true, because we realize that flour may be blended to accord with other con- ditions. At this point it should be said that a haphazard 18 method in blending different flours may not only be of no advantage whatever, but may serve to impair the value of the flour. Blending must be controlled by a method of pro- cedure which is regulated by careful analysis and scientific reasoning if the optimum results are to be obtained. Reason for Blending. The principal reason for blending is due to characteristic differences in quality exhibited by the different kinds of flour. A hard Spring wheat flour with high content of strong gluten and high absorptive power could well be blended with a Kansas hard Winter wheat flour, because the latter improves the color and flavor of the loaf baked from the blend and at the same time does not decrease the gluten content nor impair its quality to any great extent. The blend generally yields to fermentation so that the gluten is properly and more readily developed. Flours should never be blended necessarily to reduce cost because in doing so it has the effect of adulterating a good grade of flour with a poorer one. This does not mean how- ever that one should never blend a high or short patent with a straight grade, because quite often it is advantageous to buy for blending purposes the strongest and best flour, so that in the end a cheaper blend may be produced. Some flours during the fermentation tighten up. This type of flour could well be blended with another that has a tendency to become soft and sticky. Other flours produce gluten bound dough and should be blended with a softer flour. Flours are blended differently according as the bread is made by hand or by machinery. To blend successfully, one should have an accurate and inti- mate knowledge of each flour, its character and properties, and understand the effect that each individual flour may have on each of the others and on the blend. If he blends to improve the quality of gluten, lie should know that that flour must have a stronger gluten. If for color and flavor, the added flour should be one that will give the better color and flavor in a loaf made from the blend. It would be folly to blend a hard Spring wheat flour and a soft Winter wheat flour for a sponge, and then more of the same blend to make the dough. In the mechanical manipulation, it should be seen that the flours are perfectly mixed so that the blend is uni- form in composition, and the apparatus should be tested by- analysis to show whether or not the blend is an intimate mix- ture of the several flours. Flour Bleaching. The process of bleaching flour has developed into one of enormous proportions, largely because of the constant demand- of the baker and of the housewife for whiter bread. The ambition of the miller has been to produce a flour whiter than his competitor and to assemble the various streams from his mill which would give the whitest product. The bleaching industry is' due to the observation that certain flours of same quality and character exhibited a darker or lighter color. The white flour, however, commands a higher price. It was recognized that the storing of flour had the effect of bleach- ing it and it was supposed that a bleaching agent could be applied to flour which would effect the same condition. This occasioned much experimentation before the process became mechanically perfected. The color of flour is that of the endosperm of the wheat, from which it is produced, and is a natural one. Color is peculiarly characteristic of the different kinds of wheat and is inherent to each particular kind of wheat flour. Crease dirt and bran particles find their way into flour and affect to no small degree the color of the flour. Color of this kind may be considered due to foreign matter. Methods for Bleaching. The first general method for bleaching flour was in an atmosphere of oxides of nitrogen, into which flour was con- ducted and agitated. A spark between two electric terminals effects a chemical union of the nitrogen and oxygen of the air, forming nitrogen peroxide gas, which, when mixed with flour, has a bleaching action. In the method of operation, the flour is passed through a chamber or agitator into which is conducted the nitrogen peroxide gas from the generator. Meanwhile a process in which chlorine gas is used as the bleaching agent has been developed. The effect by both 20 processes is the same. The mechanical detail has been so perfected that the operation is almost automatically con- tinuous. The claims made at first by the bleaching advo- cates have been tempered by facts supported by numerous experiments, so that now we admit that the process with its limitations has quite some merit. Bleaching has the least effect upon the gluten of soft flours, while in hard and especially harsh flours which have been bleached, the dough works more easily and makes a bold, well risen loaf. Bleaching does not destroy the enzymes, although the fat in the flour does not seem to rancidify as easily as in an unbleached flour — that is, the keeping quali- ties of a bleached flour, as far as rancidity is concerned, is enhanced. Bleaching has the effect of a quick aging process without a long storing. New flours are prone in fermenta- tion to become sticky and soft, while the same flour, properly aged, works up better and has a higher absorption value. A bleaching apparatus has been used in many bakeries to treat new flour, which of itself can with difficulty produce a good loaf of bread. Objections to Bleaching 1 . The most serious objection to bleaching of flour is that a low grade flour, which is evidenced by its color, may be bleached and made to compare favorably with a higher grade flour. This may be considered a serious objection inasmuch as the baker or the consumer, who ordinarily buys his flour from the appearance, can readily be misled by a bleached low grade flour. Furthermore, flour which serves as the basis of food prod- ucts, should not be treated by chemical processes unknown to the public. Flour is a natural product and as such can be used without chemical treatment. Bleaching is not an improved milling process, because bleaching does not remove any impurities. In bleached flour there remains a small quantity of a chemical agent which is physiologically active, although the quantity may not be sufficient as to be deleterious to health. Nevertheless, when large quantities of flour or bread are consumed, there may be a sufficient amount of active constituents to deter digestion. 21 The exact nature of the bleaching process is not fully agreed upon as yet and while we know that bleaching pro- duces certain effects upon flour, giving from one standpoint a better product and from another a poorer one, the chemical effect upon the flour is as yet unknown. Chemical analysis however may readily detect bleaching, and the extent to which flour has been bleached. Bleached flour is not necessarily an inferior product and if offered for sale, strictly upon its own merits, it would meet competition of unbleached flour very favorably. WATER. Importance of Water. The great importance of the character, general composi- tion and bacteriological purity of the water employed in baking, has only been recognized within the last few years. Natural water, while its biological purity may be satisfac- tory, is never found to be chemically pure, owing to the fact that it is a ready solvent for many substances, mineral or organic, with which it comes in contact during its course. The dissolved substances have been found to influence the fermentation that bread has to undergo in its dough stages and this affects certain essential properties of the finished product such as flavor, color, loaf, volume, texture and stability. It has been frequently said that water fit for drinking purposes is also fit for bread making; but while this is true in general, it is not so under all conditions. In fact a certain type of water, the so-called alkaline waters, may be very desirable drinking water yet it is very undesirable, if indeed not unfit for baking. In other cases the composition of the water may at least necessitate certain modifications in the formulas employed in the manufacture of bread as well as of various cakes. Turbid Water. Turbidity, which is icaused by suspended particles of insol- uble substances, such as fine clay, hydrate of iron, organic 22 matter, etc., does not necessarily exclude such water from being used for baking. If the turbidity can be fully removed by filtration, resulting in a clear water of good quality other- wise, the water may well be used. In cases wherein the tur- bidity is caused by organic refuse, it is difficult through fil- tration alone to render water fit for baking purposes. On the other hand, even a clear and sparkling water may be con- taminated by organic matter and infected with bacteria to such an extent as to affect fermentation by the development of foreign organisms. Hard and Soft Water; Alkaline Water. If a water contains in solution appreciable quantities of calcium and magnesium salts in form of bicarbonates or sul- phates, it is termed hard water, otherwise it is soft. Since the bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium which are found practically in all natural waters can be precipitated by boiling, and the hardness thereby removed, this hardness is termed temporary hardness. Hardness due to the dis- solved sulphates of the same two elements and which cannot be removed by boiling, is called permanent. Waters con- taining sodium carbonate (soda) in solution, are termed alkaline, and have an alkaline reaction when being boiled. Other substances occurring in natural water are sodium chloride (common salt) silicates, occasionally iron salts, and organic matter of various composition. Effect of Different Waters in Baking. Important in the baking industry inasmuch as they have a decided effect upon the dough and its fermentation or upon the finished product, are the substances or salts causing hard- ness, particularly calcium sulphate, sodium carbonate and sodium chloride. It has been demonstrated by extended experiments in the laboratories of the Institute and by practical observations, that waters possessing a fair degree of permanent hardness (cal- cium sulphate) strengthen or toughen the gluten, so that hi doughs made with such waters the carbondioxide is retained and enmeshed better, producing a finely grained texture. Ex- cessive hardness, however, retards the fermentation so that 23 higher temperatures or an increased quantity of yeast will be necessary to properly develop the dough. Soft water, particularly if used in connection with a weaker flour, permits softening- of the dough during fer- mentation, which makes the dough sticky and the resulting bread "soggy." Alkaline waters by virtue of the soda caus- ing their alkalinity, will not only reduce the acidity developed during fermentation, and thereby decrease the activity of the enzymes present in the flour as well as in the yeast used in the dough, but have directly a solvent effect upon the gluten, weakening it and reducing its gas retaining capacity. Hence, neither very soft nor alkaline waters should be used without being improved by proper treatment. Analysis of Typical Waters. (Parts per million.)

The "hard" w r ater shows a high amount of both car- bonates as also the sulphates of calcium and magnesium ; yet these quantities do not exceed the maximum permissible for a water used for baking, and hence this water must be con- sidered as well adaptable for this purpose. The sample of "alkaline" water is of moderate hardness, but contains a fairly high amount of sodium carbonate suf- ficient to have a detrimental effect upon the dough ; hence, its use is not to be recommended. SUGARS. Sugars as Sweetening and Improving Agents. Sugars play an important part in the baking industry a3 sweetening agents and improving agents. There are a great variety of sugars of different quality and composition and according to their most characteristic properties, one or the other should be used for specific purposes. In order to obtain a pronounced sweetness, sucrose is the most advisable, since the same has a greater sweetness than any other commercial sugar. The sugars belong to the class of bodies which are known as carbo-hydrates. Chemically, they consist of the elements of oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. A characteristic of the majority of sugars is their sweet taste and solubility in water. Other carbohydrates, such as cellulose and starch, do not possess these properties or only to a very slight degree. By reason of their great solubility, sugars may be regarded as having a higher nutritive value than other carbohydrates, since insoluble carbohydrates must be converted into sugars before being fermented. Sugars are of vegetable as well as of animal origin. /Sugar is the substance from which during fermentation, the carbondioxide gas and alcohol is formed as indicated by the chemical formula C^EUO^ + H 2 = 4C0 2 -f 4C 2 H 6 0. The carbondioxide gas generated is held enmeshed in the small gluten cells and causes the dough to rise. Sugar is a factor in the moisture retaining quality of a loaf and gives the loaf in baking a nut brown color. In the growth of the yeast cells, no sugar is absorbed or assimilated by the yeast. The in- version as well as the fermentation of the sugar is effected not by the yeast cell itself, but by the enzymes that are generated by the healthy and vigorously growing yeast cells. Sucrose, Cane or Eeet Sugar. Sucrose is derived from the sugar cane, sugar beet, maple tree and the sorghum plant. The two first named are com- mercially of greater importance and the granulated sugar of commerce is obtained from these sources. From a chemical standpoint, cane and beet sugar in the refined state, due to their great purity, are therefore identical and there is also no 25 marked difference in the physical properties, such as sweet- ness, solubility, fermentability, etc. It is an erroneous opinion that cane sugar is sweeter than beet sugar or vice versa, because the sweetness depends solely on the degree of refine- ment. The fineness of crystal does not indicate the source of the sugar since each one of these sugars may be obtained coarse, fine, or powdered. On the other hand, there is a marked difference in the chemical and physical character of these sugars in the raw or partly refined state, on account of the variation of the amount of invert sugar, ash and nitrog- enous bodies which they contain. Cane sugar is unfermentable with yeast, but by the enzy- matic action of the invertase contained in the yeast, it is slowly converted into the fermentable invert sugar, which is a mixture of glucose and fructose. For this reason cane sugar must be regarded as being very slowly acted upon and when time is to be gained in fermentation, other sugars which may be directly fermented with yeast are preferable. For cake making, cane sugar (sucrose) cannot, at least not en- tirely, be substituted for by other sugars, on account of its great sweetening power. Cane sugar forms invert sugar not only through the action of certain enzymes as mentioned above, but also by heating with dilute acids and, though very slowly, by continuous boiling of an aqueous solution. The granulated, sugar of commerce is a very pure food product. The United States standard for white sugar is 99.5% sucrose, the sucrose content of granulated sugar as a rule varies between 99.5% and 99.8%. Aside of a little mois- ture and invert sugar it usually contains minute amounts of ultramarine blue, which is added to the sugar to counteract the natural yellow tint. Granulated sugar is hardly ever adulterated, while powdered sugar sometimes contains starch and other adulterations which may be easily detected. Brown Sugar is a lesser refined sugar containing often a large percentage of impurities. Its sucrose content varies between 83 and 92%. It contains 3 to 6% invert sugar, 3 to 6%> moisture and 1 to 3% mineral matter. As a sweeten- ing agent brown sugar is inferior to granulated sugar, but it promotes a more rapid fermentation. 26 Maple Sugar is never as pure and sweet as refined cane or beet sugar, but possesses a good flavor, for which it is highly estimated. It is often subjected to adulteration with brown sugar. It contains between 72 to 88% sucrose and 1 to 8% invert sugar. Syrups are liquids separated from the granulated sugars by centrifuging. There is a great variation in the composi- tion of syrups and therefore a wide range in price of the various grades. Aside of the sucrose, they contain a large amount of invert and other reducing sugars, water and min- eral matters. Syrup for table use contains about 40% sucrose, 20% water, 10% organic matter and 5% mineral matter. Maple syrup is quite frequently adulterated with the latter. The molasses represents the best mother-liquid from which sugar is crystallized and from which no more sugar can be obtained profitably. Molasses contains between 25 and 43% sucrose, 15 to 40% invert sugar, 10 to 20% organic non-sugars, 20 to 307c water and 4 to 8% ash. Dextrose or Corn Sugar. Corn sugar is known as starch or grape sugar, dextrose, glucose or anhydrous sugar, etc., and occurs together with levu- lose in honey and with levulose and cane sugar in fruits. It is manufactured in this country exclusively from corn starch by the action of dilute acids. In this process a number of inter- mediate products are formed of which the dextrines are of the greatest importance. The more thorough the conversion of the starch, the smaller will be the percentage of dextrine and the larger glucose. Time, temperature and concentration of acid are mostly responsible for the difference in composition. Since corn sugar is used by the baker mostly on account of the easy fermentation, it will be of the greatest advantage for his pur- poses to use the starch sugar in as pure a condition as possible, since the dextrine is not fermentable and remains as an indif- ferent admixture. Corn sugar shows great variations in its appearance, and it is well to call attention to the fact that from the appearance no conclusion can be drawn as to the purity of the product. Corn sugar may be either a syrup or solid, in form of powder, lumps, or granulated. The color varies from white to dark 27 brown, the brown color being caused by a little caramelized sugar. Corn sugar is only two-thirds as sweet as cane sugar and therefore as a sweetening agent is of less importance than the latter. It is readily soluble in water and is directly fermentable by the action of the yeast without any further conversion. For this reason corn sugar in its various forms may be applied with great advantage in bread making; however, it must be used in larger quantities than cane sugar, due to its water con- tent. Aside of shortening the fermenting period, corn sugar means a considerable saving for the baker on account of its lower price. Commercial glucose varies in composition according to methods of manufacture. A high dextrine content is to be avoided because dextrine is not fermentable. Composition of Oorn (Sugars. Moisture 1 to 18 % Dextrose 80 " 97" Maltose trace " 2" Dextrine 1 " 10 " Mineral Matter trace " 0.8 " Levulose or Fructose, together with dextrose, is formed in the inversion of cane sugar. It is sweeter than dextrose, but not quite as sweet as cane sugar. Pure levulose is now manufactured commercially. Maltose or Malt Sugar is obtained from gelatinized starch by the action of the enzyme diastase, which occurs in malt. Malt itself contains a certain percentage of maltose, but the greatest part is formed in treating starch with malt. Maltose is slighly sweeter than corn sugar, but not as sweet as cane sugar. Like the latter it is not directly fermentable, but must be transformed into dextrose. This is accomplished by the action of the maltase, an enzyme contained in yeast. Malt extract contains beside the soluble proteid matter and diastase, a large percentage of maltose. Maltose, like corn sugar, though to a lesser degree, hastens fermentation but it must be used carefully and with restrictions. An excess will have the ten- dency to over-ripen the gluten. 28 Milk Sugar, also known as Lactose, is the principal carbo- hydrate in milk in which it is normally present in amounts varying from 3 to 5%. This sugar has only a very slight sweetening power and its use as a baking material is still some- what questionable. The same is prepared from skim milk, and is frequently adulterated with grape and corn sugars in conse- quence of which its purity should always be established by chemical analysis. Like cane sugar it is readily inverted with dilute acids into fermentable sugar, dextrose and galactose, but unlike cane sugar by its very nature it favors lactic acid fermentation when used in the dough. The principal use of this sugar is for the preparation of infant foods; its cost makes its employment in baking rather prohibitive except in special instances where certain effects are desired. SALT. Purity of Salt. Salt is produced from three different sources and may be named according to their source ; bag or sea salt, rock or mine salt, natural or pit salt. It is not found in nature sufficently pure for bread making, its chief impurities are calcium and magnesium salts. There are obtainable on the market several brands of refined salt for use in baking, which are almost chemically pure sodium chloride. It is preferable to use the best grade of salt because of its purity which gives a pure salt flavor unmixed with a "biting" or burning taste imparted by impure salt. Effect of Salt. Salt is used for two purposes each of which is very import- ant in bread making. It imparts a pleasant flavor to bread and without it bread would be insipid. A small quantity of salt has a sensitizing action upon the palate which accentuates the more delicate and less pronounced flavors of other sub- stances. For example, the sense of taste can detect a small amount of sugar in the presence of salt, when without salt, it would not be tasted. Upon fermentation salt has the greatest influence. It is used as a "governor" to control the fermentation of the dough, and has a powerful action upon lactic acid and other foreign ferments in that it checks their activity and growth and yet is conducive to the proper yeast fermentation. Salt is used to the extent of 1.75% based on the flour (3^ pounds to the barrel) although somewhat less effects a retarding action upon alcoholic fermentation. The retarding action due to salt is often taken advantage of on hot sultry summer days when the dough "comes fast" by adding an extra supply of s-ilt.^ However, decreasing the quantities of yeast and sugar are to be recommended instead, inasmuch as too much salt makes the bread bitter and impairs its quality in general. Salt checks the diastasis and controls the hydrolysis of the starch particles and can well be used in larger amounts with new flour on account of its content of very active enzymes. In average amounts, salt produces a bleaching action upon the bread although the nature of this action is not agreed upon. Analysis of Three Different Samples of Salt.

Sample "No. 2" and "No. 3" are both lower in grade on account of the total impurities and moisture content. YEAST. Introduction of Pure Yeast. One of the greatest evolutions in the baking industry has probably been effected by no other one material to any greater extent than the introduction of compressed pure culture yeast. In fact this has been of such great importance that without compressed yeast, it would be impossible to manufacture bread 30 by the straight dough process. Yeast itself, is a microscopic form of plant life belonging to the Fungus group, as is more fully described in Chapter VIII, to which reference should be made in this connection.* Functions of the Yeast. Healthy and vigorously growing yeast excretes a series of soluble bodies or substances which are of the utmost import- ance to the fermentation of dough and baking of bread. These active principles are known as enzymes and are pro- duced by living organisms. The most remarkable character- istic of enzymes is that a very small amount is able to change or convert an enormously large quantity of substance and at the same time remain unaffected. Chiefly of interest among enzymes are zymase, invertase, maltase, diastase and protease. Zymase is the enzyme which is directly responsible for break- ing up of sugars into alcohol and carbon-dioxide gas. It acts only upon the simpler sugars of the dextrose type. The ris- ing of the dough is due then to the activity of the zymase. Invertase "inverts" or converts cane sugar, which cannot be fermented directly, into dextrose and levulose which are readily fermentable. Maltase converts maltose or malt sugar into dextrose so that consequently maltose may be used in bread making, but is converted into simpler sugars before being in a condition that they are of use in fermentation. Diastase is an enzyme that effects a transformation of starch into maltose. Yeast excretes diastase but malt extract furnishes a large supply of diastase and is used quite exten- sively (see Malt Extract). Protease is a proteolytic enzyme that acts upon proteins. It has a solvent action and renders the nitrogenous material soluble so that it may be readily used and assimilated by the growing yeast. Protease also has a softening effect upon the gluten in the dough and aids in its proper development. Growth of Yeast. For the proper growth and development of yeast, certain soluble substances are necessary, including mineral salts and soluble proteid material. The mineral salts are furnished in part by the flour which contains, -among other substances, * See also Plate VI. potassium, calcium, and magnesium phosphates. Potassium phosphate is absolutely indispensable to the growth and devel- opment of yeast while magnesium salts are of great value if not necessary. Sodium and calcium phosphates cannot effec- tively replace the potassium salt. Oxygen is another consti- tuent that is necessary for yeast growth. It promotes activity and a rapid and vigorous growth of yeast cells. In fermenta- tion of dough, the oxygen incorporated in the dough is used up by the yeast before the fermentation of the sugar is begun. Peculiar also is the action of yeast upon the dextrose and levulose, the former is fermented first and not until all the dextrose has disappeared is the levulose attacked. For a good, strong healthy and vigorous fermentation, a supply of food that may be readily assimilated is necessary and may be supplied through the use of malt extract, special sugars, and other yeast foods and improvers. Various Kinds of Yeast. While the various kinds of yeast employed hereto- fore for baking purposes are of no more than pass- ing interest to the baker at this time, still for the purpose of completeness a short reference should be made thereto. Among these probably the principal one is the Barm- Yeast or Ferment, sometimes called Stock Yeast, prepared in different ways. The next step was the Dry Yeast and then the Compressed Yeast. The Barm or Stock Yeast is obtained from spontaneous fermentation, a variety of formulae having been pursued with greater or lesser success. These consisted chiefly of boiling some dried hops in water and after being brought down to a moderate temperature of about 114° F., flour, sugar and ground malt were added and the same kept at this tem- perature for a few hours and allowed to settle, when the liquid was separated from the insoluble matter which had settled, and cooled to ordinary temperature. It was subjected to ordinary air and spontaneous fermentation which was completed after about 24 to 48 hours. Dry yeast was a subsequent product which in many in- stances was prepared from the stock obtained from spon- taneous fermentation in the manner indicated. In order to press and dry it, and overcome the difficulties of bacterial infections, the same was mixed with corn meal and corn starch. 32 In this way, of course, the yeast was frequently in a highly weakened condition and would produce results only after somewhat more extended time. The dry yeast is still being used quite extensively by the housewife, but very little by the practical baker. These yeasts are not to be recommended nor are they adaptable since by reason of the way in which they are obtained, spontaneous fermentation, it is evident that for- eign infection is difficult to avoid, while it is absolutely certain that there can be no question of uniformity either with regards to appearance and flavor of the product, through their use. Pure Culture Yeast is derived by isolating one single cell of a certain yeast, the characteristics of which have been definitely ascertained and which is then propagated under the most sterile conditions, until larger quantities have been ob- tained, which are then used to innoculate Pure Yeast Appara- tus, in which the amount is increased by further propagation.* Compressed Yeast. In the manufacture of compressed yeast a quantity of corn ground to a meal is cooked under pressure to effect gelatiniza- tion of the starch. This is known as the corn mash. It is then run into the malt mash, which is prepared in a tub pro- vided with a false bottom and in which the cleaned and ground or crushed malt is mixed with water at a temperature of about 40 to 45° C. The temperature is then raised to 50° C, whereupon the raw grain or gelatinized corn mash is led in and digestion continued between 50 and 60° C. until all the starch is converted into sugar. By means of the false bottoms the liquid is then separated from the grains and contains be- side the sugar that has formed, also soluble mineral matter as well as soluble nitrogenus substances. This liquid or wort is then mixed or ''pitched" with the yeast and fermentation allowed to proceed until all of the sugar has been converted into carbonic acid and alcohol. During this time, the yeast, as already indicated, multiplies very rapidly. The yeast is then removed from the completely fermented liquid by cen- trifuging. It is conveyed through cooling apparatus to receiv- * See Chapter VIII. 33 ing tanks, and then passes through a series of filters, where the superfluous liquid is pressed out. The compressed yeast remaining in the filter presses is mixed and by means of pack- ing machinery is put up in convenient and suitable sized por- tions which are then kept in cold storage until they are brought to the market for use. Pure compressed yeast should contain about 73.5% of moisture ; it should be free from starch and somewhat crumbly but not slimy. It should be of pale yellowish brown color. The composition of yeast varies considerably. Varying Chemical Composition of Compressed Yeast. Moisture from 60 to 75 % Protein from 10 to 25 " Ash from 2.5 to 10.5 < ' Fat from 1 to 5 " Starch from to 35 " Fermenting power (CO o ) from 85 to 100 ' ' Dead cells from to 10 " Bacteria from to 15 " The chief adulterant in compressed yeast is starch which is easily detected. The use of starch may be considered objectionable when the purpose is to give added weight, but at the same time an added 5 to 10% may greatly facilitate its keeping qualities. Starch absorbs and retains moisture and keeps the yeast cells in a drier condition. Starch was formerly added because the bacterial content of the yeast produced a slimy product which could only with difficulty be filtered. Adding the starch overcame this difficulty. Inasmuch as through the improved methods of manufacture, yeast is prac- tically free from bacteria and since pure yeast has keeping qualities that adequately meet the demands of commercial conditions, the addition of starch is not farored.

This is indi- cated by its purity, high gas producing strength and perfect soundness. While No. 2 is not as good as the previous one, it is decidedly better than sample No. 3, which is the poorest kind of yeast that a baker could buy, by reason of its high starch content, dead cells, bacteria, as well as low gas producing strength. SHORTENING MATERIAL. Animal and Vegetable Fats and Oils. Lard, oil, etc., are substances that are chemically known as fats and are found and obtained from animal sources (lard, oleo oil) and vegetable sources (cottonseed oil, corn oil, soy bean oil, cocoanut oil). They have a certain definite function to perform in bread making and the baking industry, certain of which afford advantages of merit and convenience over the others. Pure lard is made from the fat of the hog, and is white, granular in texture and possesses an agreeable and character- istic odor and flavor. It is made by rendering in a steam kettle either open or closed the entire fat of the hog. This is known as kettle-rendered lard. Leaf lard is expressed from the fat which surrounds the kidneys and is the choicest and highest grade portion of the lard. Lard is graded in quality according to its source, and next to leaf-lard in the following order is lard from the fat from the hog's back, the region of the breast, and that portion cut from small intes- tines. Neutral lard is produced by treating "leaf lard" by chilling and pressing and subsequent washing with very dilute acid. This represents the very best hog fat and is used almost exclusively in the manufacture of oleomargarine. Oleomargarine is made by churning refined oleo oil — the oil remaining after chilling the stearin from fat — with neutral lard, milk and some pure butter. Cottonseed oil is extensively used in oleomargarine. There is no objection to the use of oleomargarine ; it is, as now manufactured, a pure and whole- some product. The flavor, however, is hardly so good as that of butter, but as a shortening agent, or as a food in general, no objection can be made to oleomargarine. Butter is the fat obtained from cow's milk and is used in cake baking because of its flavor. Butter is not pure fat but 35 < "Ml. mi:: Water, riiNcin (curd) sail jiikI ;i sdijiII quantity Hs content <>f volatile Cutty acids which give ii the peculiar "buttery" flavor!

Once rancid it is useless to try to improve them as no restorative or preservative will help to bring the oil or Eat back to natural soundness and when used in bread or cake the pungent odor will remain even after baking. In the manufacture of cakes, pure butler should always be given preference for its flavor cannot be replaced no matter what the compound is. Butter should always be used spar- ingly not alone on account of its high price, but for the reason that butter is rich, and unless employed in the righl propor- tions it will not only cause the cake to Tall in the stage of baking but will also produce a heavy cake that is uol easily digestible. Method for Mixing the Shortening. Fats in bread making serve differenl purposes. Either lard or a good cottonseed oil can be employed. The shorten ing should be accurately weighed and melted down and special attention given to distribute it evenly in the dough. The object, is to combine the shortening partly with the gluten to make it more elastic. It, will not only lend to give the dough what is termed "spring" in the oven, but will also SOften and shorten both crust and crumb, and help the loaf to retain the moisture longer. Shortening should be incorporated in the mix after all the other materials have been mixed for a short time. Lard, etc., has a stimulating effect upon the gluten and the softer the Hour the more shortening should be used. YEAST FOODS AND BREAD IMPROVERS. What is Yeast Food? "Yeast Pood" is a term that has been incorrectly applied to designate a material or substance that has a stimulating effect upon fermentation. For instance, sugar has I n called an yeast food; mall extract is known as an yeast food. A substance to be a food must be capable of assimilation by the organism fed. Some substances are essential and necessary to the growth of yeast and may or may not be yeast foods. IV 37 tassium phosphate is necessary for yeast growth, but it is not a food. Ammonium salts are converted into proteid material and hence are foods. Sugar is not yeast food because it is not assimilated by the yeast. True, the kind and amount of sugar influences fermentation, but sugar is acted upon by zymase secreted by the yeast, and furnishes the energy by which the yeast cells are enabled to perform their functions. Malt extract is partly a yeast food because it supplies a quantity of soluble proteid matter readily assimilated "oy the yeast, but the content of maltose and diastase does not necessarily characterize it as a yeast food. What Is a Bread Improver? Bread Improver is the term applied to a material added in bread making to improve the quality of the product or to sup- plant part of the materials and hence reduce the cost of pro- duction. Such substances as milk, milk powder, malt flour, special sugars as maltose, corn sugar, also special mineral or chemical salts act as improvers. Malt or Malt Extract. Malt extract is manufactured through concentration of an aqueous extract of germinated barley. In the process of pre- paring the malt, the barley after being thoroughly cleaned is steeped in water, and transferred to the malting floor where it is allowed to sprout under careful control. Sufficient mois- ture, proper temperature and suitable ventilation or aeration of the germinating barley is provided. The proper conditions insure a uniform growth and development of the enzymes that are desired. After the germination has proceeded to the proper point, it is carefully kiln-dried. The kilning operation arrests the growth of the germ, but does not destroy the action of the enzymes which have developed during germina- tion. The dried germinated barley grain, now known as malt, is ground, macerated and digested with water and the aqueous extract containing the soluble constituents in the malted bar- ley is concentrated by evaporation in vacuum apparatus. The concentrated extract is more convenient to handle. In the germination of the barley, three distinct enzymes are active, namely: cytase, diastase and peptase. Cytase dis- solves the walls of the starch cell so that the diastase may react upon the starch contained within. At the same time the 38 proteid material is attacked by the proteolytic enzyme peptase and is rendered soluble and available for food for the growing germ. In the extract these three enzymes, along with soluble nitrogenous bodies, and maltose, which is obtained through the action of the diastase upon the starch, are the active sub- stances. However, malt extract by its nature favors adultera- tion and in few other products are the opportunities for buying a product so devoid of the constituents desired as in the case of malt extract. To guard against any possible de- ception and to detect any inferiority, a chemical analysis becomes necessary. Parallel Analyses of Two Samples of Malt Extract. Water 27.69 % 19.47 % Extract 72.31 " 80.53 ' < Consisting of Maltose 62.27 " 64.39 " Dextrine 5.24 < ' 8.99 ' ' Albuminoids 3.33 << 553 < < Acid (as lactic acid) 0.26 " 0.22 " Ash 1.21 " 1.40 ' ' Diastatie power (degrees Lintner) 21° 87° While these two samples show a great variation in their respective diastatie power, these variations may oftimes be considerably greater, so that in some instances the extract contains practically no diastatie power, while in others this may be as high as 100 to even 120°. Therefore, the necessity of a correct analysis with regards to diastatie power becomes apparent. While from the foregoing results, sample No. 1 indicates a lower percentage of unfermentable sugar (dextrin) as also ash, nevertheless sample labeled No. 2 must be considered as being superior by virtue of the fact that the moisture con- tained therein is lower, the extract as well as albuminoids, and maltose is correspondingly greater and particularly that the diastatie value in the latter is considerably higher. Aside from the mineral salts (ash) and the maltose found in the malt extract (and which have been discussed in pre- ceding chapters) the two enzymes diastase and protease or peptase are the desirable substances, and of the two, there is some question as to their relative advantages and merits. 39 Action of Diastase. In bread making, the diastase acts upon the starch in the flour converting it into maltose and this through maltase and zymase, enzymes secreted by yeast, is readily fermented. How- ever, this diastatic action is very slow at the temperature of fermentation, but in the proof box and for the first ten or fifteen minutes in the oven, the action is very vigorous and at 150° F. diastase converts 2,000 times its own weight of starch in ten minutes. The maltose produced is little fer- mented, on account of the elevated temperature, but its pres- ence in the baked loaf improves the quality and increases its moisture retaining power. Action of Peptase. Protease or peptase has a solvent action upon the proteid material or gluten in the dough. Part of the gluten is digested and rendered soluble and as such is readily absorbed by the yeast. This soluble proteid material is an excellent yeast food and promotes a vigorous fermentation. The gluten throughout the dough is softened and rendered more pliable and elastic. Protease then favors the development of the gluten in the dough and especially so with the "harsh" or strong flours. The peptic power and the diastatic power of malt extract generally run in parallel so that an extract of high degree of diastatic power in most cases has a high degree of peptic power. How to Use Malt Extract. Therefore malt extract should be used cautiously in bread making the amount depending upon the strength and stability of the flour. In spring wheat flour one to one and a quarter pounds is used with every hundred pounds of flour, while more than this generally darkens the color of the loaf and favors over-fermentation. With weaker flours, smaller quantities and extracts of lower diastatic power should be used. Malt flour or malt extract if used in excess will promote the tendency of the dough to become "sticky" and soften too much. Malt extract offers several advantages, however, in that it imparts a palatable flavor to the loaf. It furnishes a supply of readily assimilable food for the yeast and this food supply, together with the maltose, is conducive to vigorous fermentation. The 40 quantity of sugar and of yeast, principally the former, must be reduced correspondingly. Malt extract imparts a rich brown color to the crust of the loaf and increases the quality in general. It also keeps the bread moist longer, that is with its use the water retaining power is increased. Malt, through the action of its diastase on the starch in the dough, produces a large quantity of sugar, reducing at the same time the large preponderance of starch. This improves the bread as a food product inasmuch as the sugars are very easily absorbed by the human system. Malt flour, which is milled from the germi- nated barley grain has the same property as the extract, and both the malt extract and the flour are the best yeast foods and bread improvers from all standpoints. Milk. Another improver added to bread formulas to improve both the flavor and general appearance of the loaf is milk. Often- times whole milk or skimmed milk is added direct to the mix, but the practice for the most part now is to add milk powder or condensed milk. From the variety of milk products on the market, one is able to select that kind which adapts itself most conveniently to his purpose. Analysis of Fresh, Unskimmed Milk. Albu- Total Milk Water Fat Casein men proteids Sugar Ash 90.32% 6.47% 6.29% 1.44% 6.40% 6.10% 1.21% 80.32" 1.67" 1.79" .25" 2.07" 2.11" .35" 87.27" 3.64" 3.02" .53" 3.55" 4.88" .71" The specific gravity is of great importance for determining whether or not the milk has been adulterated with water. When the specific gravity falls below the minimum in above table, it is almost certain that water has been added. A specific gravity which is below the average may indicate that water or skimmed milk has been added, though a very high fat content will also tend to lower the specific gravity. In this case the fat determination will decide whether the low specific gravity is due to adulteration or high fat content. The milk fat is undoubtedly the most valuable part of the milk. It gives richness to the loaf and cake. The proteins confer moist- ness and mellowness. The casein though insoluble in water Specific Gravity Maximum ..1.0370 Minimum ..1.0264 Average . ..1.0315 can not be separated from fresh milk by filtering. It can be separated only by acidifying the milk, which may be done either by addition of acids or by the formation of lactic acid, due to the development of bacteria which convert the milk sugar into free lactic acid. As soon as the acidity reaches a certain percentage, the casein coagulates and may easily be separated from the milk. Rennin precipitates casein from milk. Milk freed from casein is practically transparent. For the evaluation of milk two points come into consideration, namely, the fat content and the amount of total solids, which remain after evaporation of the water in the milk. The total solids consist of fat, casein, albumen, milk sugar, and min- eral matter. The higher the water and the lower the fat content, the more inferior will be the quality of the milk. It is for this reason that creameries purchase their milk on the fat content basis. In order to protect the small purchaser, every state in the Union has fixed the milk standards by law. Standard milk should contain not less than 3.25% of milk fat, and not less than 8.50% of milk solids not fat. Skimmed Milk is milk from which a part or practically all milk fat has been removed. Centrifugally skimmed milk runs, as a rule, lower in fat than milk skimmed in the usual manner. The specific gravity of milk after skimming is higher than before skimming, and the total solids, not fat, are higher in skimmed milk. The standard for skimmed milk is not less than 9.25% of milk solids. Analysis of Fresh Milk.

As much as 50% sugar is sometimes added to condensed milk. The condensed milk may be derived either from unskimmed or skimmed and according to its source as well as to the amount of water which 42 has been evaporated, the composition will show great varia- tions. The United States Department of Agriculture has adopted the following standards for condensed milk : Sweetened condensed or evaporated or concentrated milk, is the product resulting from the evaporation of a consider- able portion of the water from the whole, fresh, clean, lacteal secretion obtained by the complete milking of one or more healthy cows, properly fed and kept, excluding that obtained within fifteen days before and ten days after calving to which sugar (sucrose) has been added.

The fat contents of condensed milk derived from unskimmed milk varies from mere traces to 10%. Just as in ordinanry milk so in condensed milk the value depends on the fat content and total solids.

Adulteration of Milk. The most common form of adulteration is the watering of the milk and skimming to such an extent, that the fat con- tent sinks below the standard. Ingredients which are some- times added to milk are chalk, starch, glycerin, cane sugar, coloring matter, preservatives, etc. The coloring matters which are mostly used are annatto, caramel and certain aniline colors. The preservatives most commonly used, are formal- dehyde, boric acid, borax, sodium bicarbonate, salicylic and benzoic acids. Ascertaining the nutritive value, the following determina- tions will ordinarily suffice : fat, protein, ash, milk-sugar, water, total solids. Occasionally it is desirable to make a distinction in the case of protein between its casein and the total albumens present. 44 Chemical Analysis of Various Milks.

To this end we can take into consideration only the actual amount of milk fat, milk-sugar and protein present. The moisture, that is, the water, in fresh milk should not exceed 89%. In con- densed milk as well as in evaporated milks, this amount will vary from 25 to 75%, depending on the amount of total solids. Therefore, the more total solids found, the lower must be its moisture content, and vice versa. The total solids represent the fat, protein, ash, milk sugar and sometimes also, as an adulterant, cane sugar. Milk fat in fresh milk should not fall below 3.25%, while the fats in other varieties of milk will vary from 1 to 15%, depending upon their concentration. jStarch is not found in fresh milk, but frequently is found as an adulterant in con- densed milks and particularly in the dry milk powders. This amount may vary from 1 to 15%. Cane sugar while serving the purpose of a sweetener, is often added to milk powder, its chief function being to increase weight and bulk. Milk fat is a valuable adjunct in bread and cake making. Each 100 pounds of milk when used in the bread dough will contain from 3.5 to 4 pounds of milk fat, a quantity sufficient to produce the finest quality of bread. When milk is used principally to improve the quality of bread, at least 1.5% of malt sugar should be added so that an adequate amount of gas for leavening the dough will be readily produced. It is true that a very small amount of fer- mentable sugar is contained in the flour itself, but not suf- ficient to effect the desired or necessary fermentation to produce a good loaf of bread. For this same reason a certain amount of cane sugar should be added to the dough so that the bread after baking, has the desired keeping qualities and likewise the desired effects upon the flavor. As a whole, the use of milk and its products have a beneficial influence upon color, both interior and exterior, and further they improve the texture and flavor, and produce a thin and crisp crust. CHAPTER III. Baking Technology. THE MAKING OF THE DOUGH. Different Methods. Modern baking involves, in addition to a thorough under- standing of the art of producing a good and uniform loaf of bread, a study of the commercial reasons for the adoption of certain methods and conditions. It involves also what is most important and that is the ability to devise and develop meth- ods of manufacture, manipulation, and treatment that afford products of the best quality and highest purity. Perhaps the very first decision is as to the method of mak- ing the doughs, and of tlie accepted systems, there are but the sponge and straight dough methods to choose between. But the selection or choice of a method embodies some difficulty be- cause the advantages that are to be had in one instance may be more than counter-balanced by the disadvantages which that system entails. 'Therefore in the selection of a method of dough making, a full knowledge of the results to be obtained through the use of each is necessary in order to determine which combines the points of favor that are most desirable in the light of conditions peculiar to different localities. Sponge Doughs. The sponge dough dates back to the period when Rome was in the height of its glory, and at that time inspectors were in charge of the public bakeries, wherein sponge or leaven bread was manufactured. This system, somewhat antiquated, has survived, although it has been changed con- siderably, largely because conditions have been changed by the modern methods of compressed yeast manufacture, flour milling, etc. The sponge method consists in mixing a portion of the flour to be used with water, sugar, and yeast. This mixture is called a sponge. It is allowed to ferment a certahi length of time according to the kind of sponge, after which more water, flour, and sometimes yeast and malt, are added and a dough made. A so-called short sponge is allowed to ferment from three to six hours, while a long sponge may ferment as long as six to ten hours, in each case, however, the quantity of yeast and water will be varied. If to a sponge all the water that is necessary for making up the dough is added at one time, it is called a batter-sponge. In setting a sponge experience has shown that a strong flour should be used on account of its content of strong gluten, which, through the vigorous fermentation, is readily devel- oped. However, when doughing up, a weaker or softer flour should be used, because the dough is allowed to ferment gen- erally about two hours, during which time the gluten in a strong flour would not develop properly. The flour used in a sponge method is apt to be overfer- mented in part while the flour used in doughing up would be under-fermented, thus producing somewhat of a colora- tion in the baking process. A custom among bakers for a long time was to make a long sponge and use the same sponge for making up several varieties of bread, thus saving time, but this practice in the light of commercial competition, has not proven satisfactory because it necessitated a sponge standing a long time before being worked up. That is, the first bread made therefrom will be made from underfermented sponge, while the last por- tion would be much over ripe. A short sponge should break not more than once, while a long sponge, which should be set stiffer because it slackens considerably during fermenta- tion, can be allowed to break twice. A sponge requires less sugar, yeast, and shortening, and the bread keeps moist longer than bread made from a straight dough. The increased acidity of a sponge dough imparts a flavor to the bread which is distinctly peculiar although not un- pleasant. Sponge produces a larger loaf on account of good strong fermentation and the added fresh supply of yeast food in doughing up. Sponge can be held longer when ripe, while a straight dough has to be worked up when ready. In doughing up in the sponge method, lower grade of differ- ent flours may be used, which lends itself to a selection of a variety of flours both as to quality and kind. Sponge doughs should go through the brake or rolls as this produces a loaf of better texture and color. Straight Doughs. A dough in which all of the ingredients necessary for the entire batch are added to the mixture and mixed in one operation, is called a straight dough. This system is based upon the theory that a strong fermentation may be obtained by an added supply of yeast, sugar, and yeast foods, such as malt extract, which promote a vigorous fermentation and rapidly develop the gluten. Straight doughs are more eco- nomical in one way, because the mixing is done in one opera- tion, thus saving time. With the straight dough process, the fermentation may be very accurately controlled, although it is necessary to work up the doughs immediately upon their becoming ready. An interval of a half hour in the fermentation of a straight dough produces a much more manifest change in the quality of the resulting bread than would the same interval in a sponge dough. The straight dough requires more mixing, which is con- ducive to a rapid development of the gluten, while a sponge dough should not be mixed too strenuously because the gluten is properly developed by the vigorous fermentation of the sponge. The conditions of fermentation in a short straight dough may be regulated more conveniently because atmos- pherical conditions of temperature, pressure, and humidity are not prone to change as much in a few hours as they might in a longer period such as is given to a sponge. The flavor due to a sponge dough is a natural one; in the straight dough, however, since yeast foods and improvers are 48 added, the flavor is influenced by the nature of these added im- provers and, although it may be considered somewhat artificial, the result is a more palatable loaf. By the straight dough method a much sweeter flavored and richer product may be obtained, and since quality and flavor are the predominating factors which promote sales, it is considered advisable, if the proper facilities in a bakery are to be had, to adhere to a straight dough system. "Sauerteig." The "sour dough" or "sauerteig" system hardly merits consideration, since it is so little used in this country at the present time. The method consists in making a soft sponge, using a pound of dough from the previous day's batch, mixed with 2 or 3 quarts of water, without the addition of salt, sugar, etc. This soft sponge is allowed to ferment two and a half to three hours at 85° to 90°F. — and often as long as six or seven hours — and used as the sponge in the mix. After doughing up the dough is allowed to rise only about one hour. It is then scaled, moulded, and proofed, and baked on the oven bottom. It is seldom panned. This system gives a coarse dark product, with a distinct and pronounced flavor that cannot be called mild and sweet. The only advantage that this method affords is that no mate- rials other than flour, water and salt are used. The baker who uses sour dough generally maintains that his bread is made without yeast, whereas under the microscope the "sauer teig" is shown to be teeming with bacteria, cultured and wild yeasts. The inferiority of the product is largely due to the foreign infection that is carried in the innumerable wild yeasts and bacteria that are present in the sour dough and over which the baker can exercise so little control. As a system, it is to be condemned because of the inferiority of the product and the antiquated method of procedure. FERMENTATION. Fermentation of dough is a question that demands more consideration than has been given it. In fact, its importance has not been realized and largely because there has been no effective means of determining the proper degree of fermenta- tion, the result has been a difficulty to maintain a uniformity of product. Fermentation may be defined in a general way as being the chemical changes associated with and effected by the development of micro-organisms. Alcoholic Fermentation. Of the kinds or types of fermentation that are met in the fermentation of bread dough, only one is to be desired, and that is called alcoholic fermentation, and which produces alco- hol and carbon dioxide from the sugar. The production of car- bon dioxide has already been discussed under the subjects of Sugars and Enzymes and little will be said of the me- chanical action in fermentation. Fermentation produced by pure yeast is desirable, but other kinds of organisms may de- velop products that are not only undesirable but may be ruinous. Lactic Acid Fermentation. Lactic acid fermentation is often a source of annoyance to the baker in that it produces a high acidity in the bread. It is quite generally found in doughs that have been fermented at too high a temperature or in old doughs. Yeast fermentation is best carried on at a temperature of 78 to 82° F., and any temperature above this promotes the activity of lactic acid bacteria. Lactic acid in small amounts aids in developing the gluten by partially dissolving it and softening it. Glucose, cane sugar, and maltose all are readily decomposed into lactic acid under favorable conditions. Milk sugar or lactose is very susceptible to lactic acid fermentation. Lactose is converted by the enzyme lactase occurring in yeast into d-galactose and d-glucose (dextrose), the former being readity fermented by lactic acid bacteria with the formation of lactic acid. Lactic acid fermentation occurs simultaneously with alcoholic fer- mentation, but proceeds slowly at the relatively low tem- perature (78-82° F.) where the activity of the yeast is at its maximum. A small quantity of lactic acid beside favor- ing the development of the gluten in the dough, imparts a "nutty" flavor to the bread which, if not too pronounced, is very desirable. Larger quantities of lactic acid developed through fermentation decrease the palatableness of the loaf, impair its quality and indicate improper fermentation of the dough. 50 Butyric and Acetic Fermentation. The formation of butyric acid through development of butyric acid organisms is favored by the same conditions that promote lactic acid fermentation, although the butyric fermentation generally follows the lactic acid fermentation. Butyric acid imparts a disagreeable flavor and odor to bread and its presence is extremely objectionable. Acetic fermenta- tion is always subsequent to alcoholic fermentation and effects the conversion of alcohol into acetic acid after prolonged fermentation or after the supply of yeast food is so diminished that the yeast is no longer in a vigorous and healthy condi- tion. Abnormal fermentation may be avoided through the use of strong and vigorous yeast, proper control of fermenting conditions and a good supply of available yeast food. Viscous Fermentation. The most objectionable and most to be feared infection that may enter into a bake shop is known as viscous fer- mentation and which produces ropy bread. Hot weather during the summer is particularly favorable for rope development and once an infection is found, it is difficult to eradicate it. Hope manifests itself in from twenty-four to forty-eight hours after baking and is due to a spore-forming organism that is very resistant to high temperatures. The spore withstands the temperature of the loaf in baking and develops and grows after the bread is cooled. The bread develops a peculiar odor, the interior becomes brownish in spots and becomes moist and sticky. The gummy interior may be drawn out into long silky threads which gives the name of "rope" to this condition. Rope organisms are generally introduced through the flour, and there is more danger in the use of low grade flour than with the better grades. Quite frequently the spores are found in cracks and crevices and in the troughs only awaiting favorable condi- tions for development. When ropiness is found to be present in the bakery, steps should be taken immediately to ascertain the source of infec- tion, but while this is being investigated a series of ''first- aid" measures should be adopted to grant temporary relief from its development. All doughs should be acidulated with acetic or lactic acid, and acetic acid is to be recommended only because it is cheaper. Steps should be taken to procure flour known to be sound. The content of salt should be in- creased as also the yeast and yeast foods, the object being not only to shorten but to insure a more vigorous fermenta- tion. The bread should be baked longer and drier as a mois^ and sodden interior is conducive to development of rope. After baking, the bread should be cooled quickly and if stored for any length of time should be kept cool. Wrapping is to be avoided if possible as the retention of excess moisture favors after-fermentation. The execution of the above recommen- dations will control and inhibit the growth of rope, but a com- plete disinfection of the shop is absolutely essential. The services of an expert, acquainted with "rope" are to be pre- ferred so that the source of infection may be definitely located and proper measures inaugurated to stamp out the disease. Humidity. Principally among the many varying factors which enter into bread making, each of which has its influence upon the quality of the loaf, are temperature and humidity. The need and advantages of temperature control have been exploited sufficiently so that every baker now appreciates that there is an optimum temperature for fermentation of his dough. Just as important and advantageous to the baker is the accurate control of the humidity or moisture content of the air in his bake shop, and experiments have conclusively shown that without proper humidity, the baker is only ' ' trust- ing to luck" that his product will be uniform from day to day. The term relative humidity is used to express the per- centage amount of moisture or water vapor that air at any definite temperature contains. For instance, air containing no moisture has 0% humidity while if saturated the humidity is 100%. Furthermore, air at any temperature is able to con- tain in actual amounts more moisture than air at any lower temperature. Air saturated at 80° F. with water vapor when cooled to a lower temperature would immediately precipitate out moisture in the form of rain or dew. No air is absolutely free from moisture. Even the air of the deserts has a relative humidity of about 20%. But if air on a cold winter day is 52 led into a bake shop wherein the temperature is 80° F., the humidity falls below that of the air of the driest desert. The apparatus for determining the relative humidity is very sim- ple and consists quite generally of a "dry" and a "wet" bulb thermometer, and from the difference in their tempera- ture readings, the per cent humidity is easily calculated.* There are also direct reading hygrometers found on the market. Experiments have shown that the proper relative humidity to maintain in a bakery is not less than 70% nor more than 80%. A difference of ten per cent affects the period of fer- mentation on a five-hour dough about 8 minutes, so that on a day in Avhich the humidity is as low as 30%, the time of fer- mentation has to be lengthened by approximately 40 minutes. If the humidity runs high the period of fermentation should be shortened correspondingly. This same effect has been observed upon hot sultry summer afternoons preceeding a storm when the doughs come fast. Perhaps the greatest source of annoyance to the baker has been due to the encrusting of the dough while fermenting in the troughs and this upon consideration is more serious than the baker suspects. The hardened crust is due to the evaporation of water from the surface of the dough and the lower the humidity of the fermenting room, the more rapid the evaporation and the heavier the crust formed. The crust cannot be eradicated once formed and appears as hard lumps in the baked loaf which are especially objectionable and ob- noxious to the consumer. Proper control of the humidity pre- vents evaporation from the surface of the dough and elimi- nates any possibility of encrusting. Furthermore, the evapo- ration is a source of actual loss to the baker. Often in a one- barrel batch of dough the evaporation of the water from its surface amounts to as much as 6 pounds during the period of fermentation so that the baker is losing that amount that might be made into bread. The heavy crust formed retards fermentation because the dough is prevented from rising to the fullest extent. The gluten is not properly stretched and developed, and hence the volume of the loaf is sure to be lower. To counteract the hindrance due to the crust, more power See Appendix, table of humidity. 53 has to be furnished in the form of increased supply of yeast, foods so that another source of loss results. The consuming public have a right to demand bread of good quality, and uniformity of good quality is the best asset that any baker can possibly have. There is no longer any question of the effect of humidity upon bread making nor of the advantages which proper regulation afford, and the progressive baker will readily see the merits of humidity control. Mechanical Factors Affecting Fermentation. Other than influences of atmospherical conditions of tem- perature, pressure, humidity, etc., there are numerous other mechanical factors that affect fermentation. Certain manipu- lations favor while other conditions of operation are adverse to fermentation. For instance, a slack dough ferments more rapidly than a stiff dough largely because there is a larger supply of yeast food, sugar, etc., in solution and this furnishes readily available material for the yeast, Again, doughs that are coming up too fast are given more space in the trough while crowding the dough hastens the fermentation. Another instance wherein the method of handling the doughs effects fermentation is in the time of punching or "cutting over." The dough is worked — "punched "or "cut- over" — when it becomes light in order that the subsequent rising may properly stretch and develop the gluten. Working- down effects an equal distribution of the gas cells beside giv- ing an impetus to fermentation. In "cutting over," the dough is so distributed that all portions are fermented evenly. The temperature of the dough is evened up and the fermenta- tion proceeds more uniformly throughout. The "cut" is made by pulling the dough over the sides of the trough, first from one side and then the other and has the effect of folding the dough over upon itself. Sometimes, in order to be sure that the dough is fermented evenly, portions are cut from it and spread out in another trough, successive portions being spread out on the preceding ones until all the dough has been transferred. This perhaps is the better method but takes more time and is not so con- venient. 54 The first punch should be carefully timed and used as an index of the total period for fermentation. The interval of time between setting the dough and the first cut should con- stitute three-fifths of the total fermenting period so that on a five-hour dough, the first cut should be made three hours after setting. On a four-hour dough, the first cut should come two hours and twenty-five minutes after mixing. The custom has been generally to allow only half the fermenting period before the first cut, but it is better to have the dough slightly over- ripe because it puts more "life" into it. "A "young" dough or one punched too soon, never "catches up with itself" and behaves unseemly during its course in the bakeshop. New flour not adequately aged has a tendency to slacken and to work young. This is due to the activity of the enzymes present in the flour. If it becomes absolutely necessary to use freshly milled flour, best results are to be obtained through the use of more salt, more shortening and giving the dough less fermentation but punching the dough more often. The increased salt reduces the activity of the enzymes in the flour while the shortening acts as a stimulant to the gluten. Less fermentation should be given the dough because of the danger of over-developing the gluten which in new flour is not ma- tured. In punching the dough more often, it is not allowed to rise to its maximum which would over-develop the gluten, while the numerous punches improve the grain and texture. PANNING AND PROOFING. Importance of Proofing. Improper proofing is the most common error made whereby all the effort spent in properly mixing and fermenting the dough may go for nothing. The best materials prepared under the most exacting control cannot be made into a loaf of good bread unless attention is given to the proofing of the dough in the pans. Proofing is just as important as fermenting, and the quality of bread in many bakeries is impaired because due regard is not given the dough in the proof box. Method of Panning. The accepted procedure in panning consists in dividing the dough into portions of such size desired to make one loaf, 55 rounding 1 up that portion so that there is formed on the exterior a thin skin. This ball of dough is given a first proof of ten to twenty minutes at the temperature of the room and then moulded, placed in pans, and put into the proof- box or steam-closet for final proofing. When sufficiently proofed or light, it is baked. In many bakeries, the manipulation of the dough is done in part if not entirely by machinery. A mechanical divider automatically cuts off portions of the desired weight and once adjusted accurately divides the mass of dough into pieces that later become loaves. Quite generally, the dough, before going to the divider, is run through a brake and worked several times. This is necessary for all sponge dough and is of ad- vantage when straight dough method is used. This brake effects an even distribution of gas cells, produces uniform texture and improves the color of the loaf. Moulding of Loaf. The dividing process produces two "raw" ends so that in order to stop the bleeding it is necessary to round up the portion of dough and to put a skin over the exterior so that the carbondioxide gas does not break through but is retained by this enveloping skin. The first proofing permits of the dough recovering from the shock of the divider and allows for the formation of a small quantity of gas so that it may be easily moulded. The "rounding up" or "balling up" is generally done by hand although larger outputs necessitate machines. The balls of dough are put into a chest of drawers or in trays so that they are kept covered, during the first proofing of ten to twenty minutes. Quite generally in the larger bakeries, the preliminary proof is given by conveying the balls of dough direct from the rounder and carried in individual canvas pockets back and forth through an over- head case or long cabinet until sufficiently proofed. After the doughs recover sufficiently and possess some "life," they are moulded, and put in pans. The gas in the dough permits of tight or loose moulding depending upon the kind of bread being made. Moulding is quite generally done by machine. Proofing. After moulding, the loaves are placed in a closet heated with live steam at a temperature of 95 to 105° F. for the final 56 proofing, which requires from, thirty minutes /to an hour according to conditions and kind of bread. Quite often, however, the dough must stand in the proof box for longer time than would be necessary to obtain proper proof, and the baker at the same time is distressed because his bread comes from the oven poor in quality. One of two condi- tions is generally at fault. In colder seasons of the year when the temperature of the shop is comparatively low, the baker makes a practice of setting his doughs somewhat warmer in order to correct in a way for the low temperature of the shop. A large mass of dough is to some extent heated by the activity of the yeast during fermentation that by the time the mix goes to the bench, the dough is not so much cooled as to show any effect of the low temperature of the room. However, when the dough is divided, each small piece is exposed to the chill of the room and of the machines, and the "shock" is so great that the yeast does not recover very easily. Yeast and doughs should never be subjected to sudden changes in temperature, either high or low, because the activ- ity is so retarded that even though it is again brought to the optimum temperature, the action is very slow. Sudden changes in temperature effect in a measure a paralysis of the yeast and heroic treatment can little help the situation. The result of the sudden cooling is that the bread does not proof properly, even when left for a long time in the proof box, and the quality of the loaf is thus affected. The slow proofing is conducive to foreign fermentation inasmuch as the activity of the yeast is depressed, and as the high temperature in the proof-box favors the development of lactic and butyric acid bacteria, the dough is apt to become sour. Thus, the import- ance of proper attention to the proofing is very evident. Improper proof may be had in a dough in which the supply of readily available yeast food has been so depleted that the yeast is no longer vigorous, and foreign fermentation crowds out the alcoholic fermentation. This has the same effect as shown above and produces a loaf of poor quality and flavor. Relation of Proofing to Baking. In proofing of bread, proper regard for oven tempera- ture must be had. Over-proofed dough should be baked in a quick oven, or if the oven is not quite ready by not being hot enough, the loaves should have less proof. In other words, slow ovens for underproofed dough and short proof for "slow" ovens. This is readily apparent when we stop to con- sider that an over-proofed dough has risen near its maximum and is in danger of falling". A "quick" or hot oven forms a crust over the surface of the dough which allows for the "spring" and at the same time lends support to the loaf. In a "slow" oven the reverse is true. The formation of the crust is delayed until the proper expansion of the loaf. Over- proofed loaves have a coarser texture but a larger volume while under-proofing produces a denser texture and lower volume. In the manufacture of the split loaf, only half-proofed or two-thirds proof is given it. This with plenty of steam effects a good "break." The split effect may be imparted by placing two thin loaves side by side in the pan or by pressing down the middle of the loaf from end to end with a scraper or similar instrument. The most effective method is to slash quickly and deeply the loaf from end to end with a sharp knife held not perpendicularly, but slightly inclined. Proper proof, experience in cutting, and plenty of steam are necessary in the production of a good split loaf. BAKING. Proper Temperature for Bread-Baking. The temperature necessary to bake bread is dependent upon the kind of bread, the formula used in making the dough, the size of the loaf and the personal preference and prejudice of the bakery foreman or superintendent. The greatest source of difference of opinion is due to the inac- curacy of the ordinary oven pyrometer in that a correct read- ing of the exact baking temperature cannot be obtained. Pyrometer. The ordinary pyrometer is not a thermometer but only an indicator. Quite generally the pyrometer is inexpensively con- structed and is so placed that the actual average temperature of the OA'en cannot be obtained. As an indicator, however, it is indispensable because when once the proper baking heat is reached, that same oven heat is attained when again the pyro- 58 meter indicates the same point. Again, one oven may be quite right when the pyrometer registers 450° F., whereas another oven bakes properly when the pyrometer registers 525° F. and yet both may be at the same heat. It is not necessary to know the exact temperature but to know that the oven is or is not ready when a certain temperature is indicated. Time for Baking. Experience has shown that the actual temperature neces- sary to bake one-pound loaves in tin is 450° F. for 30 minutes. This pre-supposes an oven loaded to capacity and if the oven is not full, slightly lower temperature should be used. A single loaf or only a few loaves would burn badly if placed in a large oven at 450° F. Larger loaves should be baked correspondingly longer and at lower temperature. Three- pound tinned bread should be baked at 325 to 350° for about an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half. For hearth bread, slightly higher temperature is required than for panned bread. Loss of Weight in Baking. Pan bread, in baking, loses about one-eighth of its weight due to the water evaporated. A loaf scaled at 16 ounces should weigh very close to 14 ounces when baked, two ounces of water having been baked out. Bread baked quickly at a higher temperature loses less water than when baked at a longer period at a lower temperature. This must be taken into consideration when the tolerance in the net weight of bread allowed by regulations is very low. The loss in baking of hearth bread is much greater, while the loss is much less when twin loaves are made in one pan. If bread is to be used on the day that it is baked, it should be baked more thoroughly than when for use the following day. Use of Steam in Oven. The practice of using steam in the oven has been adopted almost universally. Steam produces a thin crust, permits of full spring of the loaf in the oven, prevents cracking and improves the appearance of the loaf in general. In baking the split-loaf, steam is quite as essential as the heat of the oven, while with hearth bread, steam is quite necessary. 59 Steam under a gauge pressure of 15 to 20 pounds should be used. The action of the steam depends upon the condensa- tion of a small amount of moisture upon the surface of the loaves. From high pressure steam, which has a correspond- ingly high temperature, the condensation is not sufficient to precipitate the necessary quantity of moisture, and as a result no effect of the steam is to be had. In fact, steam at 50 pounds gauge pressure, and which has a temperature of 298° F., is of little better service than no steam. The film of moisture formed upon the surface of the loaves delays the formation of the crust so that the loaf attains its full volume. It also keeps the surface crust from drying out and produces an elegant bloom. In the split-loaf type of bread, a large quantity of low pressure steam is necessary in order to produce effectively the crack or break in the top crust. Too much steam, however, softens the top of the loaf, caus- ing it to flatten out and producing a dense ring next to the crust. Often too much steam accounts for the large blisters that appear in the crust of the bread. In baking hearth bread, steam should be admitted to the oven before loading, during, and for about five minutes after. The steam should be turned off and the damper opened, and allowed to be open for five minutes, after which it is closed during the remaining period of baking. Too much steam causes the loaves to run together or crack along the sides in attempting to "kiss." CHAPTER IV. General Discussion. SCORING OF BREAD. Method of Scoring. The method that has been used in scoring bread depends largely upon personal ideas and the standpoint from which the bread is to be judged. By some bakers, quality may be given the most weight while other bakers strive to produce a loaf of large volume and naturally their bread score card would differ. Again, commercially made bread cannot be scored as the housewife's bread because we don't expect the latter to be in a position to control conditions as in the bake shop, no matter how small. Bread offered for sale to the public is carefully scrutinized and all the points whereby the choice of the public is affected must be taken into consideration in preparing a score card according to which "baker's bread" may be scored. Score Card. Following is a score card in which quality bread rather than quantity bread is given a decided preference. It corre- sponds very closely with the average of a series of score cards submitted by many bakers, and for that reason may be called representative of commercial conditions inasmuch as the baker has used the same card in scoring his own and his competitors as well. On a 100 points or 100 per cent basis the factors are given the following values or scores : General appearance 15 Color of Crumb 10 Texture 15 Grain 10 Flavor (taste 20, odor 15) 35 Loaf Volume 15 100 The general appearance includes the general shape, sym- metry of form, crown, color and bloom of crust ; and it is these factors that should be given first consideration in a contest concerning a large series of loaves. 61 Color of crumb of the cut loaf is very important inasmuch as the grade of the flour and the general conditions of fermen- tation influence the color, but the color of a loaf without a standard for comparison would not be duly appreciated. The color also is affected by the grain, a close and even grain caus- ing the color to appear whiter. Texture is often taken to include "grain" or to be even "grain" itself. Grain indicates the distribution of gas cav- ities, their size and number, and might be called porosity. Tex- ture includes the elasticity and is determined by pressing the cut edges of a loaf together or by pressing with the tips of the fingers, and noting the spring in resuming its original shape. Under texture is grouped the "lightness" although the "grain" also indicates to some degree the lightness of the loaf. The "feel" as the back of the index finger — that part between the last joint and the nail — is rubbed over the cut surface, as well as the "sheen" when observed from an obtuse angle, may suggest velvet to the operator and a soft "velvety" sur- face indicates good quality. The crust, whether brittle, crisp, tough or leathery, should be scored as texture. The flavor, after a definite standard has once been formed, is of prime importance and induces the consumer to favor one product as against another. Under flavor, the odor of the bread is scored. The personal element is stronger here than with any other factor in scoring because often a decided flavor is liked as compared to a mild and mellow flavor such as is obtained from a short straight dough method. Loaf volume, except in communities wherein the size of the loaf, and not quality necessarily, appeals to the purchaser, has little importance except that it indicates proper development of the gluten in the fermentation and proofing, as well as proper moulding. HOLES IN BREAD. There are many factors that are associated with the manu- facture of bread that cannot be sufficiently standardized by definite laws and rules so that one is enabled to assure him- self of uniform results in bread quality. Of constant annoy- ance to the baker is the prevalence of holes in bread. The causes of these are several and are due to the improper fer- mentation or to the actual physical handling of the dough itself. Holes may be produced in bread through over fermen- tation and to this is due the greatest majority of cases, if the gluten in the dough has been fermented too long or too strenu- ously it becomes weakened, loses its elasticity and tenacity, and the thin walls of the gluten "cells" or pockets, being fragile, become disrupted so that several gas cells unite to form a hole. The condition usually manifests itself in the proof box and often results in a complete breaking down of the gluten with the formation of holes two to three inches in diameter. .Sometimes cases are found in which under-fermented dough contains holes. This is little different as far as the cause is concerned from a case of over-fermented dough. In this case the gluten has not been sufficiently fermented so as to develop its elasticity and tenacity, and therefore cannot enmesh and retain the carbon dioxide gas. This can best be demonstrated by taking a series of portions from one large dough at regular half hour intervals, moulding, proofing and baking. The first loaves will show very poor texture and contain many larger or smaller holes. Holes in bread may be caused by the inadequate breaking down of the sponge when doughing up and especially is this true when using a weaker flour in doughing. The imperfect mixing leaves portions of the sponge intact in the dough, and the gluten in these portions becomes over-developed, losing its elasticity which permits of the formation of holes in the loaf. Often the method of moulding, combined with the proofing process, produces poor texture. Too much pressure or uneven distribution of pressure by the fingers have a retarding action upon the proofing and the uneven proof gives rise to holes. The amount of pressure and working of the dough in mould- ing should be regulated according to the dough, the amount of fermentation it has had, and the strength and elasticity of the gluten in the dough. Often in pounding the gas from the dough in moulding, the loaves are blistered so that the holes occur slightly beneath the crust. The causes that produce holes are generally due to care- lessness, inexperience or improper moulding, combined with over-fermentation, and all flours, and all bread formulas are subject to their development. Using proper manipulation, any sound flour, however weak or strong, can be made to produce a loaf of even grain and free from holes. DEGREE OF FINENESS OF FLOUR AND ITS EFFECTS UPON ITS COMPOSITION AND BAKING QUALITY. Bakers and millets as well as chemists have for a long time held that the granular feel of flour served as a good index of its quality and character. The flours that were granular or gritty or sharp when rubbed between the fingers were sup- posed to be good quality and declared to be so, whereas flours of softer texture were declared to be inferior. Uniform Granulation. In the analysis of flour, use had been made of a nest of eight flour sieves numbering consecutively from 9 to 1G, through which a weighed quantity of flour was bolted. If on three adjacent sieves 75% of the sample remained, the flour was considered uniformly granulated and the inference was that uniform granulation permitted of an even fermentation of the flour when made into dough. At one time this test may have been sufficient to char- acterize a flour, but with modern milling methods, which per- mit of the most elastic system as far as the method of mani- pulation is concerned, the infallibility of the test has been so frequently refuted by facts that it is gradually being relegated to the position it merits. Recent Experiments. Recent experiments have shown, however, that the quality and grade of flour does not depend upon the degree of fine- ness necessarily, but that a fraction of the same degree in fine- ness differs in quality and composition as compared to another fraction of finer or coarser particles even when both are de- rived from the same wheat or separated from the same flour. In the experiments, a series of commercial brands of flour as well as several flours of known history, having been milled from known varieties of wheat in an experimental mill, were bolted through a nest of four sieves numbered respectively 64 15, 18, 20 and 21 standard silk. This produced from the orig- inal flour five fractions of flour, since part remained on each sieve and a portion passed through No. 21. The several fractions, together with the original flour used as a standard, were carefully analyzed, baking tests made, and the results compared. Results. The average results of all the experiments indicated that one-third of the sample bolted through the No. 21 sieve, while 85% passed through the No. 16 sieve which is much more finely meshed than the finest flour silk ordinarily used in any mill, viz : No. 10 to No. 12, and that on the three intermediate sieves, No. 18, No. 20 and No. 21, there remained approxi- mately 7, 12 and 30 per cent respectively. The four coarser separates show quite similar qualities and characteristics while the finest fraction stands apart strikingly. The four coarse separates produce bread of better quality than the original flour. The volume, texture, grain and color of the loaves are better than the original, while the protein, absorptive capacity, and expansion are higher and the ash content and acidity much lower than the original flour. The protein of flour passing the No. 21 shows peculiar properties in that the quality of the loaf is much inferior to that of the original. The loaf volume, color, texture, grain are woefully low while the gluten is more than 2 per cent lower than the original flour and the expansion and absorption much lower, and the ash content and acidity much higher. The results of these experiments indicate that the flour is much finer than might be inferred through the use of No. 10 to No. 12 bolting cloth by the miller. The granulation test as formerly used is not applicable to modern milled flour. The extent and character of the finest fraction indicates that the finest flour is not always the best in quality as is generally held. Furthermore, the miller has been given a method where- by he may measure the extent of attrition flour and be able to find out when he has reduced this to a minimum. The experiments have suggested that proper manipulation may result in the separation of a lower grade of flour from a patent grade thereby obtaining an excellent patent portion. FLOUR SUBSTITUTES. On account of the high price of wheat as compared to other cereals, and also in an effort to find a commercial source for the disposal of a series of products, there have been tried numerous experiments to find suitable substitutes for wheat flour. Since no other cereal, except rye and that only to a slight extent, possesses gluten, which is the constituent that renders wheat flour valuable as a bread-making material, it can be said that any other materials, however closely resembling wheat flour superficially and which might be classed as a substitute, should really be considered as an adulterant. The present existing "Mixed Flour Law" has proven ample protection against the frauds which without it might easily be perpe- trated against the consuming public. Numerous products have been made into flour and sub- stituted in part for wheat flour, among which are potato- flour, potato-starch, corn-starch, corn-flour, rice-flour, cotton- seed meal, peanut meal, soybean meal, etc. Of these, only the products made from corn, potato or rice, as far as color is concerned may well be used. Peanut meal with wheat flour makes a very palatable loaf, as does cottonseed meal, but the color mitigates against them so that neither can hardly become popular. Rice flour has been found of use in pastry and cake baking, and although it reduces the nutritive value of the product, nevertheless, it improves its appearance quality. Corn starch and potato starch have no place in a loaf of bread. Addition of either to wheat flour is a plain and evident case of adulteration of wheat flour with a substance (starch itself) of which the flour has already a large excess. In in- creasing the quantity of starch, the content of the other valuable constituents such as gluten, mineral substances, is correspondingly reduced and hence the nutritive value low- ered. If corn starch or potato starch were any other color than white, their use as a substitute would hardly have been suggested. Under certain conditions wheat flour has been mixed with other materials without seriously impairing the quality, but no substance when used in as small amount as 10 per cent fails to have a deleterious effect upon the quality of the finished product. The Use of Corn Flakes with Malt Extract in Bread-Making. Corn flakes are manufactured by passing corn, after the removal of the hull and the germ, between hot rolls. The corn before going to the rolls is cooked so that the starch is gelatinized. The pressure of the rolls is sufficient to flatten out the corn in the shape of flakes and the heat of the rolls drys them. Flakes are used in bread making for two distinct purposes : to increase the absorptive capacity of the flour as well as the moisture retaining power of the bread. Corn flakes have the power to absorb and retain often as much as 200 per cent of water, so that 3 pounds added to a barrel of flour (not more than 3 pounds per barrel is the most advisable quantity to use) may increase the amount of water necessary for making the dough by 6 pounds, whereas the absorption of 3 pounds of flour is only about 2 pounds. The best results are obtained by adding the required amount of corn flakes in the proportion of 3 pounds per barrel directly to the mixer with the flour with no other change in the for- mula except the increased amount of water. Corn flakes are used also with malt extract to effect a vig- orous fermentation and to cut down the quantities of sugar and yeast necessary. The theory in this method is that at 150° F. the conversion of the gelatinized starch of the corn flakes is effected by the diastase contained in the malt extract, producing maltose, principally. When the yeast is added at 90 to 95° there is begun a vigorous fermentation and it will be noted that when added to the mixer it shows of being vigorous. By this method, the yeast is strengthened and upon making up the dough, the added ferment causes fermentation to proceed very rapidly. In using this method, the quantity of sugar may be reduced 3 pounds per barrel while the yeast should be reduced to 2 or 2*4 pounds per barrel, making a great saving in both. The loaf produced has an excellent bloom, and has a very thin and crisp crust. Not more than 3 pounds of corn flakes per barrel should be used and the diastatic power of the malt extract should be sufficiently high so as to insure complete conversion of the corn flakes. 67 CHAPTER V. The Analysis of Flour.* VALUE OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. The value of chemical analysis of flour and baking and mill- ing materials should be apparent to all enterprising and ener- getic millers and bakers. To the miller it affords an opportunity whereby he may know the quality of each grade of wheat ; he may know the relative merits of each stream in his mill and with this knowledge may blend the streams in a manner to conform to the needs or specifications of his customers ; he may find that he has been cutting off his reduction streams permit- ting a large quantity of flour to go to the "clear" when per- haps it should go to the "patent" flour bin, or he may find that a low grade middlings flour may be the cause of his patent being low in quality. On analysis of the several streams a slight discrepancy will show that the bolter may be working improperly or that the silks need changing. In having an accurate knowledge of his own flour, the miller can readily compare his competitor's products and determine their rela- tive qualities, as is best established by following analysis and opinion thereon. Technical Analysis of Flour. No. 1 Color 98.0 Ash 0.592. Absorption 61.0 Gluten 11.45 . Protein (N x 6.25) 11.53 . Loaves per Barrel 100.0 Volume of Loaf 97.6 Quality of Loaf 98. .

From these conditions it is evident that the volume and quality of the loaf is poor, as indicated in the above. Odor and flavor of the flour however was normal. Sample No. 2 is a very good straight grade flour, having good gluten content of a creamy color. This flour produces a loaf of good volume and quality, and since it is furthermore of normal flavor and odor, it possesses all the qualities which would commend it as a "standard" for straight grade flours. Sample No. 3 is a good patent flour, having a very good color and low ash content. The gluten is of average amount and good quality and has a light creamy color. The yield as indicated by the absorption is very high and since the flour was also normal in odor and flavor it must be designated as of very good grade. Sample No. 4 represents a long patent grade, as indicated by the ash content. It is slightly dark in color, possesses nor- mal absorption and gluten, which is however, of very good quality. This flour produces a loaf of very good volume and qual- ity and we particularly call your attention to the fermentation period which is rather short. In view of all these facts this sample must be considered as representing a good article of its kind. To the baker, an analysis is almost indispensable because of the wide variance in the quality of flour. If the moisture content of a flour is very high, he is not only buying too much water but also a flour that is in danger of spoiling upon storage. The absorptive power should be known because it is an index into the yield, the more water is absorbed by the flour the larger will be the quantity of dough made. The ash content indicates the grade of the flour, and since so-called patents vary from 75 to 100% of the total available flour and since a "patent" from one mill need not correspond to but may be much superior or inferior to a "patent" from another mill, it is evident that analysis is of great importance. The acidity, the gluten, the expansion and stability, etc., are- 69 all indicative of the quality of flour and the more that is known concerning any sample of flour, the more likely will the baker be able to control uniformity of his product. METHODS OF ANALYSIS. Moisture. For the determination of moisture, 5 grams of flour are weighed off in a small aluminum dish or cup and dried at 100° C. (the boiling point of water) until it ceases to lose weight which recpiires three to five hours. From the loss in weight, the percent of moisture is easily calculated. A mois- ture content higher than 13 per cent is conducive to spoilage and also indicates to the baker that he is buying too much water and to the miller that he is improperly tempering his wheat. A very rapid and accurate method of determining moisture in flour and especially in grains and food stuffs, etc., consists in heating a weighed quantity of the material to be tested (100 grams) in a flask with oil. The water distills over into a graduated cylinder and the volume is read. The apparatus is known as the Brown-Duvel moisture tester. It is simple in construction and very easy of operation and has been adopted as official in establishing corn grades. Ash. The ash is determined by igniting over a flame or in an electric muffle furnace a weighed portion (5 or 10 grams) of material contained in a weighed crucible until a white or grey- ish residue of ash remains. From the weight of the ash the percentage is then calculated. The ash content indicates the grades of the flour and gives a valuable index as to its quality. Color. The color of flour is determined by comparing the sample with a standard. The sample and the standard are "slicked up" alongside each other on a glass slide or narrow board in the shape of a wedge. The line joining the two is made sharp and distinct so that the color difference is readily seen. The slide with the flour is dipped into water for 10 to 15 sec- onds, and the surface dried by placing in an oven. The wet- 70 ting and subsequent drying accentuate the difference in color. The color of the patent standard is 100 per cent while that of the clear standard is 70 per cent, so that using mixtures of the two with known varying percentages the color of the sample under examination may be accurately determined. Absorption and Loaves Per Barrel. Absorption is the percentage amount of water that flour absorbs in making a dough of standard consistency. It is de- termined by adding sufficient water from a burette to 50 grams of flour contained in a cup, and working with a spatula or knife until the mass has the consistency of the standard which is run in parallel. Absorption value is an index of the quan- tity of water that may be used in doughing up. Some flours "tighten up" while others ferment soft and sticky, so that the absorption test is not an infallible one. Loaves per barrel is the ratio of the absorption value of the sample to the standard and is quite generally expressed in percents. Dry Gluten. Dry gluten is determined by weighing the dry mass ob- tained after separating the starch by washing in water. Twen- ty-five grams of flour are doughed up with water, allowed to stand under water for at least an hour and washed through three changes of water or in a fine stream of water until the wash water is perfectly clear and free from starch. The mass of gluten is washed over a fine wire gauze or bolting cloth to collect the small fragments of gluten which break away from the main portion. The mass is baked, dried, and weighed, and the percentage calculated. The mass of wet gluten gives to the experienced operator a knowledge of quality and char- acter of the gluten which is quite generally of more import- ance than the actual amount contained in the flour. Protein. The total protein is determined chemically by digesting 1 gram of flour in 20 c.c. of concentrated sulphuric acid in a Kjeldahl flask, subsequently liberating the ammonia formed from the protein by means of concentrated caustic soda solu- tion and distilling the same into a measured quantity of stand- ard acid solution. 7! Titrating the excess of standard acid with standard alkali gives the amount of nitrogen which when multiplied by 6.25 will give the amount of protein present in the original 1 gram of flour. "While this chemical method gives accurately the actual amount of protein, it does not enable the operator to form any idea as to the quality and character of the gluten con- tained in the flour. Acidity. Acidity of flour is determined by titrating an aqueous ex- tract with standard alkali. Eighteen grams of flour are di- gested at 40° C. with 200 cubic centimeters of water for 10 minutes, and allowed to stand at room temperature for an hour with occasional shaking. The extract is filtered and 100 cubic centimeters of the clear filtrate titrated with tenth nor- mal (N'10) alkali using phenolphthalein as an indicator. 1.0 cc. of tenth normal alkali corresponds to an acidity of 0.10 per cent, calculated as lactic acid. A high acidity value indicates usually improper storage and unsoundness, although ash content has to be taken into consideration. Acidity and ash content of sound flours run in parallel, high acidity asso- ciated with high ash content. Gliadin and Gliadin Number. Gliadin is one of the two important proteid bodies that con- stitute gluten and is that adhesive part of gluten which serves to bind the mass of flour into dough. The ratio of gliadin to the total protein of the flour when expressed in percentage is called Gliadin number. Gliadin is soluble in 70% alcohol and is determined analytically by digesting 2 to 8 grams of flour with 200 cubic centimeters of 70 per cent alcohol, filter- ing, taking an aliquot sample with subsequent treatment as under the method for determining protein. Expansion or Fermentation Value. Fermentation value is determined by fermenting 100 grams of flour made into a dough with 3 grams of sugar and 5 grams of yeast, and under standard conditions. The dough is placed in a graduated glass cylinder and its volume read at 15 min- ute intervals until its maximum expansion or volume is 72 reached. The ratio of this volume to that of the standard fermented under the same conditions is called the expansion or fermentation value. The maximum expansion is the volume of the dough as read on the cylinder when an interval of 15 minutes shows no increase in volume. Fermentation Period. The time required for the dough to rise to its maximum volume under the expansion determination is called the "fer- mentation period." It is generally expressed in per cent of the standard. Quality of Gluten. The quality of gluten is the ratio of the expansion per gram or per cent of gluten in the sample to that of the standard and expressed in per cent. The expansion per gram or per cent is obtained by dividing the maximum expansion by the percentage of gluten. Stability. The stability of flour may be defined as the ability to with- stand fermentation when made into dough. The stronger the flour the more fermentation is required and the more the flour will withstand. Weak flours break down under strong fermen- tation so the stability test is a measure of the strength of the flour. The stability test is the average of three successive risings using the expansion method. After the dough has come to the maximum volume in the expansion test, punch down well with a spatula or knife and allow to come to maximum. Punch a second time and allow to rise. The average ratio of the maxi- mum expansion for the three rises as compared to the standard is termed the stability. BAKING TEST. The baking test is the one test which of itself has real merit. The chemical analysis gives a valuable index as to quality, when more than one determination is considered. For instance, the ash determination indicates the grade of a flour, but like any other single determination it does not sharply 73 differentiate between good and poor flours. But the ash test, along with the acidity, color, expansion and gluten, etc., suf- ficiently characterize it. The baking test combines in a meas- ure a series of tests. The color, absorption, quality of the gluten, expansion, etc., have their influence upon the loaf so that a baking test quite generally substantiates the results of chemical analysis. In fact an analysis of a sample of flour should include not only the purely chemical determinations, but also a baking test. Of the several accepted methods of making comparative baking tests, the one outlined below is considered to be best because it approaches more closely the methods employed in the bake shop. The dough is made up and manipulated accord- ing to the "straight dough" methods, whereas the other methods provide for a ferment of yeast and sugar to stand for 30 minutes to an hour before using to make up the dough. Again, the doughs are "punched" according to a time schedule, and in a manner which is similar to the bake-shop methods. The size of the loaf is generally a matter of convenience. A larger loaf baked in a standard pan is to be preferred. The formula is varied somewhat in quantity of flour used — 340 grams for hard Spring and hard Winter wheat flour, and 380 for soft Winter wheat flour, but the quantities of other ingredients is constant, i. e., sugar 10 grams, yeast 10 grams, salt 5 grams, shortening 8 grams and water in sufficient quan- tity to make a dough of standard consistency and determined from the absorption value. 'The flour, sugar and salt are weighed out into a shallow stone jar, or crock, and placed into a warming cabinet at 80 to 85° F. until same reaches this temperature. The yeast is smoothed in a portion of the water and the dough made up us- ing the remaining portion of water, the total amount corre- sponding to the absorption of the flour, and adding the yeast liquid last. The shortening is added after the batch has been mixed for some time, and thoroughly incorporated in the mix. The proper temperature of the water to be used in this test is determined by subtracting the sum of the temperature of the flour and room from 246°. The mixing is best done with a 74 large spatula or palette knife that has been cut off or a dulled ordinary "butcher's" knife or a putty knife. After 10 minutes the crock, containing the dough, is re- moved from the closet and the dough worked again with a spatula or knife and replaced in the closet. The first, second, third and fourth "cuts" are made at intervals of 90 minutes, 45 minutes, 23 minutes and 12 minutes, respectively, following mixing and is done by removing the dough from the crock, working on the bench to remove the gas and in a manner similar to "rounding up." The dough in a neat round ball is replaced in the crock, put back in the closet to be "cut" at intervals as indicated. Ten minutes after the fourth working, the dough is moulded and panned. The interval of time be- tween mixing and panning is three hours so that a test loaf is a three-hour straight dough loaf. The loaf is placed in a steam closet heated to 100 to 105 °F. with live steam and when proofed to three times its original volume is baked at 425° to 475°F. A one-pound loaf should be baked 30 to 35 minutes and other sizes accordingly. LABORATORY OUTFIT. 1 Balance, Baker's scale. 1 Analyt.

BREAD AND CAKE FORMULAS. Introduction. In the formula charts for different kinds of bread, it will be noticed that all are based upon a half barrel unit, using straight dough method. It is perhaps needless to say that in mixing the dough it is best to add the salt and milk with most of the water to the mixer, at the proper temperature, and effecting solution by a few turns of the mixer arms. The yeast and sugar are added to the remaining water at 80 to 85° F. containing the malt extract and smoothed down and allowed to stand while the other ingredients are being weighed out and dissolved. Milk powder and malt sugar should be stirred in with the flour before mixing. Approximately four-fifths of the flour is added to the mixer and mixed several minutes be- fore adding the remainder of the flour and the yeast-malt solution. After the mixing is practically complete, add the shortening and complete the mixing. In making a larger or smaller dough, the ratio of yeast will of necessity be changed slightly as a larger dough requires correspondingly less yeast and a smaller one somewhat more. In using the cake formulas, it must be remembered that they are not intended for household or amateur use. It is pre- sumed that the baker understands the proper order in the addition of the several ingredients as also the proper manipula- tion of the mix. As an illustration of the use of the cake formulas, let us take Sponge No. 2 under Chart IV. In that case the procedure would probably be to first weigh off all the materials, sifting the one-half ounce of baking powder with the flour. Weigh out the sugar, add the whole eggs and whip until light. Add the butter which should be rather soft and free from salt and excess water and beat until light, adding the vanilla before finishing, and finally the flour. When a machine is used, mix 77 the flour on low speed. In adding the vanilla with the butter, the flavor of the product is not baked out as is the case when added during the last stage of the mixing. The flavor is due to substances that are quite soluble in the shortening, and consequently is retained more completely in the case by this method. The results to be obtained do not necessarily coincide with the amount of effort expended in whipping a mix, espe- cially so when made by hand, inasmuch as it requires experi- ence and a "knack" to incorporate the maximum amount of air. Taking another example, for instance, wine cake mixes, as indicated in Chart III, the method of procedure should prob- ably consist of creaming the lard and butter together with the sugar, adding the quantity of eggs slowly and in about six por- tions. Cream thoroughly after the addition of each portion. The vanilla is beat in, and the flour, with which has been sifted the baking powder, and all the milk, are added at one time, and mixed on low speed. Oftentimes, especially in rich mixes, the flour is mixed in by hand as this produces a lighter mix. In this connection it might not be amiss to add that a process is adopted which appears quite practical and consists in working a small quantity of the flour containing no baking powder into the shortening at low speed, finishing after a few minutes on high speed. The remainder of the flour into which the baking powder has been sifted, together with the milk in which the flavoring and the sugar has been dissolved, are added and mixed at high speed for a few minutes, finishing on low speed until the batter is smooth. This method insures a close and even texture to the cakes and permits of incorporating a larger quantity of sugar and milk or water. In the foregoing, we have selected as the most practical, to indicate first the quantity of the flour, — which may be a soft Winter wheat variety or a blend of rice or tapioca flour with the soft Winter wheat flour — as giving an index to the size of the mix, and not the butter and sugar which in ordinary prac- tice would be weighed off first. The formulas are supposed to suggest to the foreman and superintendent new cake mixes copies of which might appear individually as were chosen to be introduced in the bake shop. < PhQ Oh o PQ s o -In Hi* ^' 1 H|N 1 ^ ^ 1 H|M 1 H|N I 3 HlM no H|N HlN ^ HIM "° HIM r^* a c qgnoQ jo -draax fa O oo o 1 o oc oo o 00 o O0 o oo -* O oo O X o oo o 00 O OO c h|* i—l h|* 1— 1 * H|* H|M 1— 1 H|* i— < H* H|* hH 00 Q M pt| O Q > 9 c c c 1 i — 6 C c -H a a i O -. o 1 c > 3 2 * > c — o 5 23 "S 1 £3 is ; -a o o c 3 O c S c '5 "5 is E a; •a 03 E i s o m O Q Apssy araix qSnoQ jo -dnrax " <*> ()jBg g 23 -O 55 M J3§m{) psAjassij o | "5 raiiiaqj 5 H,M ■* ssnry o CO noj^ig _c (M i-H H|N H|* nnqBjji £ co spnonny -2 mi* ssaidg paxip^j o co BnisiBy £ H* c 8}B(O0OqQ o 00 : g f 1 — c s p* ■> i p — C C ft '> a P (- a b C 2 i - C c C c 'z ~ a +s C a.

Introduction. The maintenance of an accurate record of operations, for- mulas, etc., in a bakery should be a source of profit to the management, as well as convenience to the superintendent. A completed record abounds in ready and valuable information, showing the exact output, and records of the different kinds of bread, together with the quantities baked of each. Changes in the formulas can be referred to in a moment's notice and their influence upon the quality of the product noted. Daily record is on file of the course of the dough through the sponge room, the doughing and fermenting room, whereby the cause of any differences in the quality of the loaf can be traced Record of all temperatures concerned, as well as the time for the several operations and combined with records of humidity and atmospheric pressure should be maintained as data on the variable factors that affect bread making. Through an exami- nation of a series of such records, one is enabled to see the dif- ferences that are effected by each factor. For instance, it may be noted that the doughs get "sloppy" when the pressure is low and the humidity very high. The logical and proper pro- cedure would be to regard the indication of the barometer and hygrometer before setting a sponge or dough, and to vary the yeast, sugar, malt, etc., accordingly. It may be that the doughs are not being properly timed and punched or are being set too warm or that the yield is too low. A little calculation would indicate whether the divider is accurately scaling to the fraction of an ounce, while a study of the dough sheet might indicate that the flour being used has not a profitable absorption and so on. The more opportunity one has of becoming acquainted with the variable factors in bread-making, the better chance there is of controlling the same. The Store Room Records are self explanatory. Entries are made of amounts of materials received as well as delivered to bake shop under respective date. The total of materials used, deducted from the sum of the monthly receipts plus material on hand on the first of the month, gives material on hand on the closing of the last day of the month, which figure is forwarded to sheet for next month as material on hand on the first of the month. As the kind of materials used in the bake shop vary considerable, except flour, sugar, shortening, etc., it was deemed advisable to leave open headings to be filled in with the respective name of ingredients as employed in the respec- tive bake shop. 89 en < a H OS 8m|>BJH jajauiojog 1 Xjipiiunn r- luooy - las uai|.u aauodg jo J!1S ■»x iisa 1 ] a < P £ 1 i 1 I 1 1 1 1 c 1 & ■ i i | 1 i i i M 5 T i J i s i 1 1 M C J h £ a ■« i 1 i J K 1 £ 1 J 1 1 A 1 H S i 1 I 1 1 s 1 1 1 y.; 1 £ 1 I 1 1 1 I K 1 i 1 J W 1 s 1 1 fiS a I K i ri £ | | I s I I i 1 1 BIT I - M « cc S n S 1 M C o g*a U3 1 TOR ING c/3 Z H a: o X ~ 1 1 S 1 «. ? 1 ■i 1 2 U Q i 1 1 1 a 3 s y 1 I J a 1 1 J y if e 1 8 1 5 5 1 . i 5 £ i 1 s H 5 i | i "? i -2 i i h i » u £ i i i o i 1 fa i J' I | 1 a T5 i ^ i 1 1 t -- 5 SJ.VC - n « * . . t» - o 1 1 £a 95 < 6 2 1 J 1 1 E s 1 K i 1 D 1 | i 5 7 £ - 1 4 a 6 £ £ | 1 "3 s 1 a a : £- C 1 i l t t I h % 8 7 = i s H p ' | : : p. 5 7 i i 3 H I I | : ; ' : 7 i j; - i*| « s c^ i S i 3 1 K^ / s i 1 al 7 2 | i IS 7 i i Q<- a 4 l < s "9 •< g. w o o p 8 o £t3 3a i CO D g Z 83 o *y a: a O UJ H ^^ a: ^ ^1 I E j 1 = 3 i - I : : 1 '• 1 5 1 i -' I ►1 ?

The following chapters are intended to present to the baker and miller in a readily comprehensible form a general review of the various branches of science and technics co-related to the baking industry such as Physics, Chemistry, Microscopy and Pure Yeast Culture, Refrigerating and Electrical En- gineering, Arithmetics and Mensuration. Although in order to remain within the scope of this manual these subjects could be treated only in a somewhat brief manner, yet the information contained therein will prove of sufficient value to warrant a careful perusal and study, at the same time impressing upon the reader the importance and indeed necessity of acquiring at least a general knowledge of such scientific facts and data as are most essential for anyone whose aim it is to be a master in his vocation. The progressive baker, however, who from reading these chapters should become desirous of developing his knowledge even more by further elucidation and more thorough instruc- tion on these subjects, will by the careful study of this part be enabled to understand intelligently and with no difficulty, more elaborate and special works in these various branches to which he might feel inclined to refer for more detailed infor- mation. 98 CHAPTER VI. Physics. Physics is that branch of science which treats of the prop- erties and relations of matter and force (or energy). Properties of Matter and Force. Everything- that occupies space and possesses weight is called matter. A limited portion of matter is called a body. All matter is divisible and is made ivp of molecules. A molecule is the smallest conceivable part of a substance and it cannot be divided without destroying the identity of the substance. Three different states of aggregation are known insofar all substances appear either in a solid, or liquid or gaseous form. The state of aggregation of many substances can be changed by either adding or withdrawing heat, or changing the pressure acting upon the same. Force does not occupy space, nor does it possess weight; it is, however, the cause of motion or of any change of motion. Attractive forces are : Cohesion or the attraction which unites molecules of the same kind. Adhesion or the force which attracts molecules of different kind. Molar Attraction is a force which acts between different bodies. A special case of molar attraction is gravitation or the attraction of the earth upon all bodies. Weight and Specific Weight. The effect of the gravitation upon matter is called weight; the same is measured by comparison with certain standards, called standard weights. The specific weight or specific gravity (sp. gr.) of a body is its weight in comparison with the weight of an equal volume of water. It is obtained by dividing the weight of the respective body by the weight of an equal volume of water. The specific gravity of liquids can be determined by means of the picnometer or with the hydrometer. 99 Percentage hydrometers are used for the ready determina- tion of the percentage of any substance contained in a solu- tion ; some of the best known percentage hydrometers are sac- charometer and alcoholometer. Hydraulics. A liquid contained in open vessels or pipes, which are con- nected with each other, will have the same level in all of them. The hydraulic pressure exerted upon a given surface, by a water column is equal to the product of the surface times the height of the column ; it is independent from the size or shape of the vessel. The pressure of a water column 1 foot high equals 0.433 pound upon every square inch, or it takes a water column closely 27% inches high to exert a pressure of 1 pound per square inch. The pressure exerted by liquids lighter or heavier than water is in proportion to their specific gravity. Air Pressure. The pressure of the atmosphere is sufficient to support a mercury column about 30 inches high, or a water column 34 feet high. It amounts at sea-level to 14.7 pounds per square inch in the average, but varies with weather conditions and with the elevation above sea-level. Air pressure is measured by the barometer; for measuring the pressure of other gases and vapors, f. i. the vapor of water or steam manometers or pressure gauges are used. Heat and Temperature. Heat is a form of energy, it is molecular motion. It can be generated by mechanical or muscular motion, by chemical processes, by means of electricity, etc. Temperature means the state or intensity of heat, generally designated as cold and hot or warm. If bodies having different temperatures are in direct or in- direct contact heat will pass from the warmer body to the colder one, until both have acquired the same temperature. Addition of heat generally raises the temperature of a body and expands the same ; abstraction or withdrawal of heat gen- erally lowers the temperature and causes contraction. 100 Thermometers. Thermometers are instruments for measuring temperatures. The various thermometers are different either in graduation or in general construction. The different graduations in use are the Fahrenheit, the Celsius or Centigrade and the Reaumur scale of graduation. Their essential differences are as follows : On the Fahren- heit scale the temperature of melting ice is designated as 32°, that of water boiling in an open vessel at 14.7 pounds pres- sure as 212°. On the Centigrade scale these two temperatures are desig- nated as 0° and 100°, respectively, while on the Reaumur thermometers, the boiling point is indicated by 80°, the melt- ing point being the same as on the Centigrade scale, that is 0°.* The chief difference as far as construction is concerned is in the thermometrical medium employed, which in general is mercury. However, alcohol and pentane is also used for filling thermometer tubes, and in the so-called metallic thermometers no liquid but a strip made of two different metal serves the same purpose. For high temperatures, such as in baking ovens, pyrome- ters are used; the same are either metallic or electric pyro- meters, in the latter a thermo-electric current being generated by the heat of the oven. Heat Unit and Specific Heat. The unit used for measuring quantities of heat is called British thermal unit (B. T. IT.), and it represents the heat required to heat 1 pound of water 1° F. The specific heat of a substance other than water is the quantity of heat required to heat 1 pound of the respective substance 1° F. This heat differs greatly with different sub- stances; with most substances it is less than 1 B. T. U. To calculate the heat required to heat up a given quantity of a substance for any difference in temperature, multiply the weight of the substance by the difference in temperature and by the specific heat of the substance *See Thermometer Table in appendix for formula for the conver- sion of thermometer degrees. 101 Melting and Latent Heat of Melting. Many solid substances can be melted by the application of heat. This melting takes place at a constant and definite tem- perature, called melting point, which, however, is different for different substances. This melting temperature is at the same time the tempera- ture at which a liquid becomes solid (freezes or solidifies), when the liquid is cooled sufficiently. Hence 32° F. which is the melting point of ice, is also called freezing point of water. When a solid, for example ice, melts, it absorbs heat, hence the cooling effect of ice. This absorbed heat, however, has no effect upon the temperature of the ice or ice-water, and it is therefore called latent heat. The latent heat of ice is closely 144 B. T. IT. per pound. Boiling and Latent Heat of Vaporization. If a liquid is heated continuously a temperature is finally attained at which the liquid boils, that is at which it is trans- formed into vapors (in the case of water called steam). This boiling takes place at a definite temperature, called boiling point, which for water is 212° F. while it differs for other liquids. When a liquid is boiling it absorbs heat which has no effect upon the temperature; hence, it is called latent heat of vaporization, which in the case of water amounts to 966 B. T. U. per pound of water. Vapors, formed from a liquid by boiling, will, when cooled, condense or liquify at the same temperature at which they had been formed; hence, boiling and liquifying points are identical. Effect of Pressure on Boiling. If a liquid is boiling in a closed vessel (boiler), in which a higher or lower pressure may be maintained, the boiling tem- perature of the liquid will rise as the pressure increases, and decrease under a lower pressure (respectively vacuum). Hygrometry. Water evaporates also at temperatures lower than its boil- ing point, in consequence of which the atmosphere always con- tains more or less water vapor iu form of humidity, the amount of such humidity depending upon temperature and general weather conditions. If air contains all the humidity it can retain at a certain temperature, it is called saturated, and any cooling of such air will cause the water vapor to condense and become liquid. The degree or percentage of humidity of the air can be determined by means of the Hygrometer, of which several dif- ferent kinds are in use. Humidity being an item of importance in a bakery, a good hygrometer is of equal importance as is true of a good ther- mometer. CHAPTER VII. Chemistry. Chemical Changes. Chemistry is the science that treats of chemical changes, that is changes that take place in the constitution of all sub- stances and may be explained as follows : If vinegar is poured on a piece of chalk there is at once a change. The vinegar seems to boil; a gas is given off called carbonic acid or carbon- dioxide. The chalk is dissolved and a liquid is left, which, if heated, becomes a solid totally different from the chalk. This is what is known as a chemical change or reaction, in which both the chalk and the vinegar are changed. This differs from a physical change wherein the composi- tion of a substance is not changed by outside influences. If water is exposed to a temperature below 32° F. it becomes a solid, ice. It has undergone a physical change insofar ice is the solid form of water, as is proven if the temperature is raised and the ice melts. If the temperature is raised to 212° F. the water becomes steam, another physical change ; but steam has the same chemical composition as water since no chemical change has taken place in it. Elements. All substances are made up of what are known as elements. There are some seventy-five elements, for instance : gold, sil- ver, iron, zinc, tin, copper, sulphur, oxygen, hydrogen, nitro- gen, etc. They form the bases of all substances in one form or an- other, and are like the bricks with which a mason builds a house. Certain of these elements have a great attraction for certain others. Oxygen has a great attraction for iron; if a piece of iron is exposed to air in a short time it will be found to be rusted. This rust is what is known as iron oxide, and it is the product of the chemical union of oxygen with iron, and is not oxygen or iron, but a new or different substance composed of both. It is a powder and not hard like iron or a gas like oxygen. Some elements are called metallic, others non-metallic. Such elements as gold, silver, copper, potassium, sodium, etc., are metallic. Sulphur, carbon, phosphorus are non-metallic. Oxygen, hydrogen, chlorine, and nitrogen are gaseous elements. Compounds and Mixtures. "When as in the illustration of the rust or iron, any two or more elements unite to form a new substance, this new substance is known as a compound.. The chalk referred to in a former illustration is a compound of lime and carbonic acid, although it appears like one substance. So we could show by analysis that the iron rust is a compound of iron and oxygen. Mixtures are very different from compounds insofar as com- pounds are chemical unions as shown, while mixtures are not. In other words, if we put sugar and sand together, we form a mixture, but not a compound as there is no chemical union. If we dissolve salt in water' we have a liquid mixture or solu- tion, but no compound. It is true the salt disappears and it would seem that a compound is formed, but if we heat this solution the water is evaporated and the salt is left chemically unchanged. Atoms and Molecules. Atoms are defined as the smallest particles into which an element may be divided, and consequently they cannot be divided any further. It has, however, been found in nature that atoms do not exist isolated or alone, but when free they unite with one an- other if they do not unite with atoms of some other element, and this union is called a molecule, and this is the smallest particle of a substance that will exist by itself, and possess all the characteristics of the respective substance. Thus a mole- cule of hydrogen is the union of two atoms of hydrogen; a molecule of common salt is the union of an atom of chlorine and an atom of sodium. Chemical Symbols and Formula. Each of the elements in chemistry has a name derived from the Latin or Greek language, and a common name by which it is generally known ; for instance, the chemical name for that substance commonly known as iron, is Ferrum, the Latin name. The chemical name for copper is Cuprum, also a Latin name. Chemists to avoid writing out the full name of an element each time use a symbol, which is one or more letters of the chemical name. Thus, Au is the symbol for "Aurum," gold, while the symbol for iron is Fe, the first letters of the chemical name ' ' Ferrum, " H is the symbol for Hydrogen, for Oxygen, C for Carbon, etc. To express in a clear and distinct way a chemical fact the chemist uses what is called a formula. We know, for example, by experiment that a molecule of water is composed of 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen chemically combined, and to express this fact the chemist uses the formula "H 2 0". In the same way the chemist uses for sulphuric acid the formula "H,S0 4 ". Each distinct substance has a chemical formula. Chemical Affinity or Attraction. "We are all familiar with the fact that iron has an attraction for a magnet ; in like manner all substances have an affinity for some other substance to a greater or lesser degree. When we put the vinegar on the chalk we found an effer- vescence resulting. This was because we had in the chalk an attraction of lime with carbonic acid, but this affinity is weak, and when Ave added the vinegar, the affinity of the lime for the vinegar was stronger than for the carbonic acid, and it went to the vinegar, and the carbonic acid was set free, and a new compound was formed. Valence or Atomicity. The atom of each element has a certain amount of power to unite with other atoms to form molecules, and this is known as the valence of an element. For instance, an atom of oxygen has the power to unite with two atoms of hydrogen, form- ing H 2 0, hence it is called bivalent. It requires then two atoms of a univalent element (like Hydrogen H) to unite with one atom of a bivalent element (like Oxygen 0) to form a molecule of the compound. Nitro- gen is a trivalent atom and that requires three atoms of hydro- gen to form a molecule. In the case of oxygen one atom may unite with one atom of sodium "Na," leaving free one valence of oxygen, which may unite with one atom of hydrogen making the compound "NaOH" showing that the two values of oxygen have been satisfied by one atom of sodium and one atom of hydrogen. Atomic Weights. All substances, even air, have weight and as all elements may be divided into their smallest particles or atoms, these atoms must have weight, and this is known as the atomic weight. All substances have different relative weights; some are called heavy, others light. Hydrogen which is the lightest element known, is taken as the standard of comparison, and the atomic weight of an element is the relative weight of its atoms as compared with the weight of an atom of hydrogen. Thus the atomic weight of iron is 56, of copper 63, hydrogen 1, oxygen 16, carbon 12, sulphur 32, etc. Inorganic Chemistry. That part of chemistry treating on minerals or anything made from or related to minerals is generally called inorganic chemistry in distinction to organic chemistry which treats sub- stances derived from or related to either the animal or vege- table organism. Metals and Metalloids. Those elementary bodies that possess metallic qualities, such as metallic lustre, conductivity for heat and electricity are called metals. They are malleable, may be hammered out ; are ductile, may be drawn out. They are iron, gold, silver, lead, tin, copper, etc. They unite with oxygen, forming oxides, and with both oxygen and hydrogen, forming hydroxides, or bases. Metalloids are unlike metals, they do not possess metallic lustre, they are not good conductors of heat or electricity; some of them are gases. They will unite with hydrogen, or oxygen and hydrogen, to form acids. Non-metals are hydro- gen, chlorine, iodine, carbon, sulphur, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, silica. Some compounds of non-metallic elements or metalloids, Avith hydrogen, or with oxygen and hydrogen, are Hydrochloric acid "HC1", Sulphuric acid "H 2 S0 4 ", Nitric acid "HN0 3 ". Alkalis, Acids; Salts. Alkalis is the term applied to those oxides or hydroxides which are soluble in water, such as caustic soda and caustic potash. They have a soapy taste, and have a caustic effect upon organic substances such as fats and oils, with which they form soaps. They will dissolve or soften paint, varnish, cellulose, albumen and the like. The presence of free alkali may be known by turning red litmus paper blue. Acids, as a rule, have a sour taste, like vinegar or lemon juice. If they come in contact with metals or alkalis they will dissolve them and form new compounds, called salts. Acids contain hydrogen, "H", in combination that can be exchanged or replaced by a metal. The test for free acid is the turning of blue litmus paper red. When an acid and an alkali are brought together in the proper proportions, the properties of each are destroyed and they are said to neutralize each other. This may be known when litmus paper will turn neither red or blue, and the sour and soapy taste are gone. To illustrate by a formula this reaction which is called neutralization, we take caustic soda "NaOH", an alkali, and add to it hydrochloric acid "HCT". Then we find the metal of the alkali, sodium, to change place with the hydrogen of the acid and to combine with the chlorine forming sodium chloride, "NaCl" Common salt, while the hydrogen of the acid unites with the oxygen and hydrogen of the alkali, forming water, H 2 0. 107 A salt is the union or combination of an acid and a base, that is an alkali or a metal. Salts take the name of the acid entering into the compound, so that salts formed from sul- phuric acid H 2 S0 4 are called "Sulphates," those from hydro- chloric acid "HC1" chlorides, etc. If in an acid that has more than one atom of hydrogen in a molecule, only part of the hydrogen is replaced by a metal, the resulting salt is known as an acid salt. Air, Oxidation and Combustion. Air is the atmosphere surrounding the earth and is a mix- ture of a variety of gases, but chiefly one-fifth of oxygen, and four-fifths nitrogen, with small quantities of water vapor, ammonia, carbonic acid, and other gases. Air is absolutely necessary to all life as it contains oxygen. Oxygen has the quality of combining with many other elements and the change they undergo hereby is called oxida- tion. If in the case of wood and fuels the oxidation takes place rapidly in the form of fire, it is called combustion. When a match is lighted the heat of the burning head of the match is sufficient to heat the wood enough to set free the hydrogen in the wood, which unites with oxygen to form water, and make the carbon red hot. This latter unites with oxygen and forms carbonic acid. Water.* One of the most widely distributed natural substances is water. Chemically pure water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, having the formula "H 2 0". It will dissolve most sub- stances and is obtained pure by boiling and condensing the vapor, known as distillation. This is exhibited in nature by rain water; but even this is not absolutely pure as it contains ammonia and other gases. Water that has dissolved in it Calcium (lime) or Magne- sium salts, is termed a hard water, otherwise it is soft. Water that contains carbonate of soda or potash is termed alkaline. Hard water is rendered soft by adding soda or ammonia. Water for baking should be to a certain extent possessed of permanent hardness, to assist in the develop- *See Water, Chapter II. 108 ment of lactic acid, but if too hard, it will retard fermenta- tion. Water that contains too much sodium chloride (salt) will likewise arrest fermentation. Alkaline water is not adapt- able for baking, as it softens and breaks up the gluten. Organic Chemistry. The branch of chemistry that treats of chemical com- pounds present in plants and animals is called organic chem- istry. These compounds which all contain carbon in some form, can be gases or liquids or solids, as benzine, oil, fats, starch, sugar, protein and the like. Hydrocarbons. These .substances are compounds of carbon and hy- drogen, the simplest (CH 4 ), is a colorless gas, called Methane or marsh gas. In this one or more atoms of hydro- gen may be replaced by other elements or groups of atoms forming a large number of different compounds. The lower members of this series are gases, but as the number of carbon atoms increases, they become liquids or solids. Alcohols. Common alcohol is a volatile colorless liquid, derived by fer- mentation from sugar and is obtained by distillation. It has the formula C 2 H 5 (OH) and is known as ethyl- or grain-alcohol or spirit of wine and is present in wine, beer, brandy and whiskey in quantities from 2% to 70%. Good technical alco- hol contains 94 to 95% of alcohol. One hundred parts of sugar will give 51 parts of alcohol and 49 parts of carbonic acid, and therefore alcohol is also formed in the fermentation of dough. It is inflammable and has a pleasant taste, but little odor. Ethyl-alcohol is lighter than water, it has a specific gravity of 0.79, and boils at 78° C. or 173° F. If exposed under cer- tain circumtances to air, the oxygen of the air converts it into acetic acid or vinegar as in sour beer, wine, cider, and to a certain extent in bread baking in the oven. From methane (CTI 4 ) by substituting OH for one atom of hydrogen we have Methyl- or wood alcohol CH 3 (OH). This is a poison and is used to dissolve resins in the manufacture of varnishes. Fusel-alcohol or Amyl-alcohol C 5 H n (OH) sometimes called Fusel oil is formed in small quantities in fermentation. Glycerine, C 3 H 5 (OH) 3 , is a triple alcohol; it is a thick liquid with a sweet taste. With the fatty acids it forms the animal and vegetable fats and oils. Organic Acids. When an alcohol is oxydized, it becomes an acid. Ethyl alcohol by oxidation becomes acetic acid, CH 3 COOH. Vine- gar contains from 5 to 6% of acetic acid, and a little is formed in the baking of bread in the oven from the alcohol formed in the fermentation of the dough and gives the pecu- liar odor in the baking. Butyric acid, C 3 H 7 COOH, forms in butter when it becomes rancid. Palmitic acid, C 15 H 31 COOH, and stearic acid, € 17 H 35 OOOH, are found in vegetable and animal fats and oils combined with glycerine. Boiled with soda or potash, the fats and oils form soaps. Lactic acid, C 3 H 6 3 , is present in small quantities in grain, hence in flour, also in milk. It increases during fermentation by lactic acid bacteria, which decompose carbohydrates and form this acid. It is present in bread from 0.12 to 0.20%, in beer about 0.1%. It occurs in larger quantities in rye bread, weiss beer, ale, sour milk and sour-kraut. It has a favorable effect on certain enzymes, such as peptase, hence its presence in dough is desirable. It assists in the keeping qualities of bread, hence rye bread keeps better than wheat bread. Tartaric acid, C 4 H 6 6 , is found in the juice of grapes and fruit and is deposited during fermentation in the form of a salt called potassium tartrate or cream of tartar. This salt or the tartaric acid itself is used in baking powders. Esters. Compounds formed by the combination of an alcohol and an acid with the elimination of water are called Esters. They may also be considered as derived from an alcohol in which the hydroxylic hydrogen has been replaced by an acid radical. Esters may be prepared by heating for some hours on a water-bath a mixture of an acid and an alcohol with small quantities of hydrochloric or sulphuric acid. They have gen- erally an aromatic odor, are neutral in reaction, and insoluble in water, but dissolve in alcohol and ether and are used as fruit-essences. Fats and Oils. Belonging to the group of esters is a number of substances, comprising the various fats and oils of animal or vegetable origin. All such fats and oils are glyceryl-esters, composed of the triple-alcohol glycerine with the higher organic acids, such as lauric, palmitic, stearic, oleic acid, etc. Carbohydrates. Organic compounds in which carbon is united with water in certain proportions are called carbohydrates; they are such as the sugars C 12 H 22 O n , dextrine C 12 H 20 O 10 , starch, cellulose, etc. They differ from hydrocarbons which contain no oxygen. Cellulose (C 6 H 10 5 )n is found in the wall of the barley grain, wheat, etc., in cotton fiber, filter paper and filtermass. Starch (C 6 H 10 O 5 )m is a granular organic substance found in wheat, rye, barley, corn, rice, potatoes and other plants. It is enclosed in a cell wall, and is not soluble in water. If the cell wall is broken by boiling it forms a viscid substance or paste. This is called gelatinizing- of starch and takes place at 165° to 185° F. Gelatinized starch gives with iodine solution a bluish-black color. In baking some of the moist starch will gelatinize. The action of certain enzymes as ptyalin in saliva, and amylopsin in pancreatic juice converts it into maltose and dextrine. In brewing starch is converted into maltose by the diastase of malt. Starch heated dry to about 300° F. is converted into dex- trine ; this is found in the crust of bread exposed to the high heat of the oven. AYhen boiled with a little acid starch is transformed into a sugar called dextrose. Sugars.* Saccharose or sucrose, C^H^On , is a sweet substance found in sugarcane, beets and the sap of the maple and birch *See Chapter II. trees, as also other plants. It crystallizes when the sap or juice is evaporated, but if heated to about 365° F. it loses its crystalline form and turns into caramel. It is the sweetest of all sugars, freely soluble in water, but it is not fermentable. If boiled with acids, however, or acted upon by invertase, an enzyme of the yeast, it will become fermentable. Confec- tioners' sugar is powdered cane sugar. Maltose or malt sugar is the product of the mashing of malt. It is formed from the starch of malt by the action of diastase. Malt-extract contains about 60 to 65% of maltose with 20% of moisture and other substances. Lactose or milk-sugar is present in milk from 2 to 5%, it does not ferment directly. Dextrose, C 6 H I2 6 , is contained in grapes and other fruits ; it is also known as grape sugar. It is less sweet than cane sugar and readily fermentable. Dextrine, C 12 H 20 O 10 , is an amorphous compound found in the sap of plants and is produced by the action of heat or mineral acids on starch; it is soluble in water, practically tasteless and not fermentable. Proteins. Complex organic compounds containing carbon, hydro- gen, oxygen and in addition nitrogen and sulphur, are found in all animal and vegetable bodies. The best known type of these substances is the white of the egg, or albumen. Similar substances are found in seeds and grains and are called pro- teins or albuminoids. They differ from starch, sugar and cellulose as they may be decomposed by proteolytic enzymes, by putrefactive bac- teria, acids and alkali. They are divided into proteins insolu- ble in water and proteins soluble in water, and may be still further classified as to their solubility or insolubility in salt solution, or alcohol or whether they will coagulate or not. The protein glutenin is found in wheat flour, together with gliadin, with which it forms the "gluten" of the flour. The insoluble vegetable proteins are globulins, prolamins and glutelins. Some soluble vegetable proteins are coagulable, as albumin and leucosin of wheat, which will coagulate if a 112 solution is heated to 212° F. or treated with acids. Other proteins that do not coagulate are proteoses, peptones, amides and amino-acids. Peptones are the result of the action upon the higher proteins of certain enzymes, as pepsin in the gas- tric juice, and peptase in malt. Peptones and amides are the chief elements of nutrition of any organism including yeast. Enzymes. In the animal and vegetable organisms are found a number of unorganized ferments which are called enzymes; they split up or destroy higher organic compounds, and decompose them into simpler ones, while they are themselves unchanged. They are designated as hydrolytic, diastatic, proteolytic, etc., and they decompose or break up carbohydrates, pro- teins, fats, and other complex organic compounds. Cytase which occurs in barley and malt, dissolves the cellulose of the starch cells. Diastase in malt converts starch into maltose and dex- trine, while peptase, also contained in malt, breaks up the higher proteins, an effect which is also characteristic for pepsin contained in the gastric juice of animals. Enzymes splitting sugars are the invertase, the maltase and the zymase to be found in yeast, of which the first inverts cane sugar into invert sugar, that is a mixture of dextrose and levulose, while the second changes malt-sugar to dex- trose. The last one, zymase, ferments dextrose and levulose and forms thereby alcohol and carbonic acid. 113 CHAPTER VIII. Microscopy, Micro-Organisms, and PureYeast Culture. USE OF THE MICROSCOPE. Construction of the Microscope.* The microscope may be considered as a magnifying glass composed of one or more lenses, the former is known as a simple and the latter as a compound miscroscope, the chief parts of which are the ocular and the objectives. Important parts of a compound microscope ; Ocular Axes Objective iStage Draw Tube Stagepin Tube Mirror Pillar Mirror pin Coarse adjustment screw INose piece Fine adjustment screw Pillar Arm Foot or Base The principle upon which the microscope is operated, con- sists in directing a ray of light by the use of the mirror, below the stage, through the object to be examined, and subsequently through the objective and ocular to the eye. The substance to be examined known as the object should be in a sufficiently fine state to allow for the transmission of light. For all microscopical purposes north light or light reflected from a white cloud or white wall is most desirable. The Examination of Cereals. Chief among the cereals employed in the mill or bakery, we must consider wheat, and what applies to wheat, in a gen- eral way also applies to rye. For further consideration of the structure of a wheat kernel we refer to Plates II and III as also to Chapter I. Accordingly the following parts can be distinguished : Epidermis, with the wheat hair, Epicarp on body, * See Plate I. Cross-cells, Tube cells, Outer layer of spermoderm, Inner layer of spermoderm, Aleurone cells, Endosperm or Starch cells. Identification of Starches. Starches, either before cooking or disintegration, are iden- tified and their origin determined by the use of the micro- scope. A solution of iodine in water is the chemical means of detecting starch, and this is employed when the starch has been disintegrated and its mere presence is desired to be indicated. Chief among the starches are wheat, rye, icorn, rice, potato, bean and peas-starch. There are an endless number of other starches; however, those mentioned are the most important and suffice fully for illustration. All these starches are readily distinguishable from one an- other by the shape, size, and surface configuration of their un- divided cells, and sometime by their variation in size in the same starch as is indicated by the microscopical illustrations on Plate IV. At times, in the examination of starches, the polariscope is used on account of the refraction of the light, produced by the starches; this method is resorted to only where a question of doubt arises. MICRO-ORGANISMS. The Cell. In considering substances microscopically, the first subject that enters into question is the cell, which may be described as consisting of a mass of protoplasma, surrounded by a cell wall and containing a nucleus. The latter is the life of the cell, and therefore when destroyed, the cell is no longer able to exist. Protoplasm is a complex albuminous substance, resembling somewhat in complexity egg albumen, and furnishes to the cell the nourishment, as also the energy for reproduction. The cell wall is composed of a cellulose membrane, through which it receives its nourishment and performs the further function of keeping the cell contents in tact. A single cell is able to carry on all the functions of life, such as : respiration, assimilation and reproduction, the latter usually taking place in one of several ways, either direct, known as fission, or indi- rect by sporulation or budding. Infection. Contamination of any substance by a foreign organism is called infection. For example, the presence of any bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria, in pure culture yeast (from a pure yeast apparatus) would be considered as an infection, whereas the presence of the same bacteria in milk, is considered as normal. Fermentation. The decomposition of any organic substance by the action of ferments, such as yeast, bacteria, mould, and enzymes is called fermentation. Enzymes belong to the class known as unorganized ferments, and may be illustrated by such examples as invertase and peptase. The fermentation which takes place in bread, and is brought about by the action of yeast of the cultured variety on sugar contained in the dough is known as alcoholic fermentation, whereas vinous fermentation is brought about by the action of wild yeast, and acid fermentation by the action of bacteria, as is exemplified in vinegar. Putrefaction. "When fermentation is accompanied by the production of offensive gases, which in most cases consist of hydrogen sul- phide (H 2 S), we speak of it as a putrefaction, and in all cases with isolated exceptions, is brought about by bacteria. In this connection reference should be made of viscous fer- mentation as a form of putrefaction not uncommon in the bake- shop in the form of ropiness. Moulds (Hyphomycetes). Moulds, like bacteria and yeast, are plants belonging to the lowest form of plant-life, being devoid of chlorophyll (green coloring substance) and consequently grow best in dark damp places. They consist of a mass of interlacing fibres" known as mycellium, upon which are superimposed large interlacing threads, known as Hyphae, from which are produced the fruit heads and spores of the various forms of moulds. The moulds most commonly found in and about the mill or bakery, are the following: Mucor, Pencillum, Aspergillus and Oidium. These moulds are separate and distinct from those which affect the grain on the field, such as rust mould. All of these moulds can best be explained by referring to the illustra- tions on Plate V. The moulds are reproduced by spores, which are produced in large numbers and distributed by the air on other objects; they have the property of reproducing plants identical with those from which they originated. Yeast (Blastomycetes).* Yeast, which as already stated, belongs to the lowest form of plant-life, is unicellular and reproduces itself either by indirect fission (budding) or else sporulation (spores). The former is the manner in which reproduction is effected when the yeast is innoculated into a properly constructed medium which is sufficiently defusible to allow for proper as- similation and sufficient oxygen to admit of proper oxidation. "When, however, the yeast propagates under adverse condi- tion, it does so by the development of spores and not buds. These spores are formed by a sort of an agglutination of the protoplasm into three or four spherical objects within the cell wall, which will withstand many conditions, which would otherwise destroy the yeast. Such yeast spores when again placed under normal conditions will reproduce yeast cells such as those from which they were derived. There are many forms of yeast cells, varying considerable in size and shape, from five to ten microns in diameter (micron is the measurement used in microscopical work, and is indi- cated by and represents one thousandth part of a millimeter). To admit of a more convenient study, yeast is divided into two classes, the pure culture yeasts, such as is and should be used in the bakery, described technically as Saccharomycetes * Yeast as baking material, see Chapter II. 117 Cerevisiae, and the wild yeasts which should he foreign to the bakery, with the exception of such bakeshops wherein sour doughs and barms are employed, in which case the baker if not pursuing modern practices employs not only a variety of wild yeast but also a large number of bacteria. Bacteria (Schizomycetes). Like yeast and mould so bacteria belong also to the lowest form of plant-life and grow practically in any substances which contain organic matter, in a sufficiently diffusible state, and are not antiseptic in action. They are universally found in the air, the amount depending upon the cleanliness of the location. These organisms occur generally in two shapes known as bacilli (rod shaped) and cocci (dot shaped). They may be single or in chains, and the cocci also at times occur in masses. They range in size from one micron in width and length as in the cocci to one micron wide and from one and one-half micron to ten microns in length as in the bacilli. Some of these bacteria are motile, some are spore-bearing, which points are all used in the recognition of the organisms. The bacteria generally found in the bakery grow best in alkaline media, therefore differing from the yeast, which grow best in an acid medium. Some of these organisms, as is true with the yeast, are beneficial, while most of them are detrimental to the industry. Resume. In considering the foregoing collective treatment as it were of the moulds, yeast and bacteria the fact must not be over- looked that in order to remain within the very limited confine of the scope of this work, the same is of necessity very brief, therefore the reader is referred to works which treat exclu- sively on this subject for more detailed information. However, the illustrations on Plates V, VI and VII show ex- actly what is meant in the descriptive matter on moulds, yeast and bacteria. These organisms can all be grown for observa- tion purposes on artificial culture media, prepared from the desired food substances and combined with some gelatinizing substance, such as gelatine or agar-agar. 118 Microscopical Examination of Yeast. In a general way the examination of microscopical objects is pursued in approximately the same manner, and consider- ing the fact that the yeast is the most important organism con- cerning the baker we submit the following outline to be adopted in such examinations: 1. Appearance of individual cells (a) As to the consistency of the Protoplasm, whether Granular, Homogenous (liquid) or Vacuoled (b) As to the appearance of the cell walls : thick, thin, or irregular. 2. Shape of cells (a) oval, (b) round or (c) irregular. 3. Size of cells from 5 to 9 microns; (a) large, (b) med- ium, (c) small. 4. Per cent of dead cells 5. Per cent of weakened cells 6. Foreign substances 7. Per cent of Bacteria (a) As to shape 1. Rod or bacilli 2. Dot or cocci (b) As to Occurrence 1. In chains 2. In masses 3. In pairs 4. In packages 8. Wild yeast of which the micoderma is probably the most common. 9. Inorganic substances, Calcium Oxalate. 10. General opinion based on the above results. PURE YEAST CULTURE. Pure yeast culture is the selection of a single cell, which is propagated in sterilized culture media made for that purpose. The cell and subsequent growth is thoroughly examined as to its adaptability for the particular needs, consequently the same is selected entirely upon its character to which end the follow- ing tests are made : 119 1. Whether it is a true or wild yeast. 2. Fermentation test is made, by which test we arrive at the following information : (a) The energy of fermentation (b) The reproductive power (c) The amount of alcohol produced (d) The amount of carbonic acid produced (e) The attenuating properties (f) The flavor produced in the finished product. 3. Finally determine whether the same is free from any bacterial infection. After all the above tests are made and the yeast is found to be possessed of those characteristics that are deemed desir- able for the intended purposes, large cultures are made of the same, in pure yeast apparatuses, which are especially con- structed for this purpose. The objects of pure culture yeast are the absence of infection from bacteria, or wild yeast, and to maintain a uniform flavor of the product, as also assuring an exact and definite quantity of yeast required to ferment a known quantity of dough. Culture Media. Any substance of organic nature, which is employed for the purpose of growing or propagating all micro-organisms is known as culture medium. For the growth of yeast, a solu- tion called wort is employed which is prepared by digesting ground malt in water at suitable temperatures. The liquid or wort drained from this) digestion or mash is clarified and sterilized in properly constructed vessels. If it is desired to grow the yeast on a solid medium, a certain percentage of agar agar or gelatine is added sufficiently to maintain in a solid condition at ordinary room temperature. For the development of bacteria for the purpose of identi- fication, the same culture medias may be employed. Method of Pure Culture. A desirable yeast is selected and sufficiently diluted with sterile water, so as to have approximately one yeast cell per microscope-field under low power. When this dilution has been attained, close watch having been kept on the manner of 120 dilution and the amounts required, sterilized wort gelatine is substituted for the sterile water, and in a proportion so that the same dilution in liquified wort gelatine is maintained as is true with sterilized water. This is then transferred in an aseptic manner, to sterilized moist chambers,* which are prepared by sealing a ring of glass to the surface of a slide and placing on top of that a cover glass which has a hanging drop of the liquified wort gelatine, containing the yeast cells. The slide so prepared is placed on a level surface until the liquified wort gelatine solidifies, when it is then brought under the low power of the microscope, and examined. When a suitable cell is found, it is brought to the center of the field, and isolated from all other yeast cells in that field, when it is marked with a marking apparatus, especially de- signed for that purpose. After this is completed and several other cells have been marked in the same manner on the same cover glass, it is placed in an incubator, and allowed to grow for 72 hours, and ex- amined from time to time to see that the cells are properly growing. When they are sufficiently grown, so that the cultures can be seen with the naked eye, they are transferred into a flask containing sterilized wort, and allowed to grow until the wort is fermented. From there they are transferred to a large pasteur-flask, of 250 cubic centimeter capacity, and from this flask tests as to purity are made, and if the same is found to be a desirable yeast it is transferred to the pure yeast apparatus. Pure Yeast Apparatus.** A pure yeast apparatus is composed of two or more tanks especially adapted for this purpose and in a general way might be described as follows : Each tank which is of a size in proportion to the amount of yeast desired, has arrangements on it so that the yeast can be transferred without contaminating it with in- fected air, and to allow the same to ferment freely without * See Plate VIII. ** For illustration of pure yeast apparatus see Plate IX. 121 keeping it under pressure and so that sufficient yeast can be retained for subsequent fermentation, without the renewal of the cultures. All air used for aeration and pressure is filtered through a sterilized cotton filter. CHAPTER IX. Refrigeration. In accordance with the scope of this book, in the following chapter only the most essential points on refrigeration are considered, although this subject is indeed a very important one for the baker as well as for the miller.* Mechanical Refrigeration. Mechanical refrigeration is the art of either establishing or maintaining by mechanical means, a temperature lower than the prevailing atmospheric temperature. Methods of Producing Refrigeration. While refrigeration can be obtained by the use of cooling water circulated through pipes or by the use of ice, which, when melting, absorbs heat whereby the temperature of the refrigerator is lowered, the most common and most efficient method employed at the present time and whereby in fact very large amounts of refrigeration can be obtained conveniently, is by the evaporation of liquids possessing a low boiling point, chiefly liquified gases. Refrigerating Liquids. The most commonly used refrigerating media are liquid or anhydrous ammonia, liquid carbonic acid and liquid sulphur- dioxyd which are all sold by the manufacturer in heavy iron or steel cylinders or drums, containing the liquid under a rather high pressure. Of these three refrigerating medias, ammonia is the one mostly employed. *For detailed information reference should be made to the "Com- pend of Mechanical Eef rigeration, " by Dr. J. E. Siebel, Director of the Siebel Institute of Technology. 122 Refrigeration Obtainable. The amount of refrigeration obtainable by the evaporation of one pound of liquid ammonia is approximately equal to the withdrawal of 475 B. T. XL, the same varying somewhat with different conditions. Hence, in order to obtain one ton of refrigeration, that is the same amount of refrigeration which would be produced by melting a ton of ice and which is equal to the withdrawal of 288,000 B. T. U. about 600 pounds of liquid ammonia must circulate and evaporate in the refrigerator coils. Refrigerating Systems. Referring here only to the refrigeration by means of am- monia, two different systems are widely in use, the compression and the absorption system. The same do, however, practically not differ in the method of producing the refrigeration, or, in other words, in the refrigerating part of the system, but rather in the method of regaining and re-condensing the ammonia vapors produced in the refrigerator. Essential Parts of Refrigerating Systems. An ammonia compression system consists essentially of the following parts : A vessel containing the liquid ammonia, the so-called liquid receiver ; the refrigerator part connected to the liquid receiver by means of the expansion or reduction valve. This refrigerator consists of a number of iron pipes or coils located in the room to be refrigerated. A third essential part in the compressor, frequently but wrongly called ice-machine and finally the condensor, which is again a series of pipes cooled either by the atmosphere or more generally by cooling water. In an absorption system, liquid receiver, refrigerator and condensor are practically the same as in a compression sys- tem, in place of the compressor, however, there is the absorber, exchanger and generator. Quantity of Refrigeration Required. The quantity of refrigeration required is naturally depend- ent upon a number of conditions which are variable in the dif- ferent cases. 123 In refrigerating rooms the factors determining the quantity of refrigeration required are the dimensions of the room, the heat-leakage through the walls which depends upon their con- struction, the temperature to be established or maintained in the room, the maximal outside temperature as also the amount of heat introduced into the room by the materials handled, the operation of machines, burning lights and soforth. Not considering these last items, that is the heat due to materials, machines, lights and soforth, the refrigeration re- quired will be arrived at very closely by the following cal- culation. Let "A" indicate the total area of the walls, including windows and doors, ceiling and floor of the room calculated from its dimensions, "c" the factor of heat leakage per square foot, which is usually given for 1° F. difference in temperature for 24 hours, and which varies with the construction of the building or room from 2.5 for well insulated walls to about 8 for com- mon brick walls, "t" the temperature to be maintained in the room, "T" the maximal outside temperature and "R" the amount of refrigeration in tons required per day then RnAXicX (T — t) -f- 288,000. Piping Required. The pipes employed in refrigerating systems are usually iron pipes 1 to 2 inches diameter. They are generally fastened to the ceiling or the upper parts of the walls, in order to insure good circulation of the cooled air. Like the quantity of refrigeration required, so the total pip- ing necessary for distributing this refrigeration is not a definite one, but varies with conditions. Determining in this regard are aside of the quantity of refrigeration to. be distributed, the temperature of the rooms to be cooled, the method of operating the machine and others. However, in general it can be assumed, that for the dis- tribution of one ton of refrigeration from 100 to 125 feet of 1*4 inch pipes are required in rooms to be kept at a tempera- ture not lower than 50° F., and from 150 to 180 feet if this tem- perature is around 32° F. 124 CHAPTER X. Electricity. Magnetism. Magnetism is an invisible force which occurs in different ways and has what is known as a North and South Pole. It was known to the ancient Greeks who observed that a lode- stone or natural magnet would attract and hold small pieces of iron. If a piece of hardened steel is once magnetized, it will retain considerable of this magnetism indefinitely, and is there- fore considered as a permanent magnet. A magnet many times stronger than a permanent magnet is formed if an electric current is sent through a wire wound on a piece of iron. This is then known as an electro-magnet. Magnetic force can be represented by lines of magnetism going through the magnet. These magnetic lines tend to shorten as stretched rubber would ; but they also exert a lateral crowding effect on one another, tending to push one another sideways. This is the explanation why like poles repel and unlike poles attract each other. Soft iron is the best magnetic conductor known. Electric Pressure or Voltage. Electricity generated or accummulated in a body exerts a certain pressure or tension, called voltage. The most common ways of producing voltage are : 1. By separation, as in belts running over pulleys or when rubbing a cat's back. 2. By a thermo couple, that is a joint made from two dis- similar metals, and heating this joint. This method is largely used for determining temperatures. 3. By chemical process as in a battery in which zinc and acid are used as the active materials. 4. By cutting magnetic lines with a conductor. Extensive use of this method is made in the modern electric generator which is essentially a number of wires cutting magnetic lines. A flow of electricity or electric current is effected if bodies having different voltage are connected with each other by means of a conducting material or conductor. A good conductor is one that has a low resistance to cur- rents passing through it, whereas a poor conductor has a high resistance. Substances possessing an exceedingly high resist- ance are spoken of as non-conductors. Ohm's Law. The unit of electric current is called "ampere" and the amount of current or the amperes that will flow through a conductor depends upon the electric pressure or voltage as well as upon the resistance of the conductor, which is meas- ured by units designated as "ohm." This is known as Ohm's Law and its general expression is: volts amperes=-; ohms For finding the resistance, that is the ohms, the formula will be : volts ohms = amperes Like with water or steam, electric power depends upon and is the product of pressure and current. The unit of elec- tric power being termed a "watt" so : watts = volts X amperes. Since 1 watt per minute equals 44 1 / 4 pounds, so 1 H.P. or 33,000 foot pounds are equal to 746 watts for 1 minute. Series Connection. If a number of conductors are connected in one circuity they can be arranged either in series or in parallell con- nection. Assuming three devices or conductors having the resist- ance a, b and c respectively, are connected in a circuit in such a way that one terminal of "a" is connected to one of the terminals of "b" which again by its second terminal is connected to one terminal of "c" while the second terminals of both "a" and "c" are connected with the line, then this is termed "series connection." The total resistance of such a series circuit "r" equals the sum of the three resistances, that is : r — a + b + c. 126 Parallel or Multiple Connection. Parallel or multiple, also called shunt connection is effected by connecting one terminal of each conductor to one side of the line, while the other terminals of all conductors are con- nected to the other side of the line, so that each one gets the full voltage of the line. The combined or total resistance of such multiple circuit can be ascertained by the formula -=— 4- — + -etc. r a b c Dynamos, Motors. Generators or dynamos and motors have a field and an armature. The field is that part of the machine which has a constant magnetism, whereas the armature is that part in which the magnetic force or magnetism is changing continually. A shunt dynamo is one where the field has enough resist- ance to stand the full line voltage and where field and arma- ture are placed in parallel on the line. In such a shunt generator, the voltage will drop as the load is put on, hence it should be started with the load off to let the field build up. In a shunt motor the speed is nearly constant at all loads, for which reason they are used wherever this is required. A series machine is one where the field is in a series with the armature, the same current going through both, the field having low resistance. A series generator must have the load on to start as the field must have current to build up this magnetism. A series motor is used where a variable speed is wanted and a heavy pull at start ; hence street cars use series motors. Most generators are built by combining the series and shunt in which case they are termed "compound machines." The shunt field will build up the magnetism at start and when the load comes on the series coil will build up the magnetism and make up for the drop in voltage which would occur if the machine were only a shunt. If a generator has enough turns in the series coil so that when the load comes on the voltage goes up, the machine is said to be over-compounded. Direct Current ; Alternating Current. The term direct current is applied where the current is only in one direction as is true with all batteries and D. C. generators. Alternating current is one where the voltage is constantly changing from positive to negative and negative to posi- tive, etc. The voltage of an A. C. generator generally follows a sine curve. A complete change of direction of an alternating current is called a cycle, and a 60 cycle line means a line where the voltage makes 60 complete changes per second. Ohm's law cannot be used with alternating current circuits where there is resistance. Primary Batteries. To obtain high voltage, connect the carbon of a battery to the zinc of the next and so forth while to obtain high cur- rent, connect all the carbons together in a series and all the zincs in another series. 128 CHAPTER XL Figuring in the Bakeshop. 1. How much water is required for a dough made from 1 bbl. (196 lbs.) of flour if the absorption of the respective flour is 63% ? Sixty-three per cent is equal to 0.63 for 1 ; hence for 196 lbs. we need 196 X 0.63 = 123.48 lbs. or figuring 8y 3 lbs. of water as being 1 gal., this equals 123.48 -^ 8% = 14.8 gal. 2. How many loaves can be made out of 1 bbl. of flour, using 14!/o gal. = 120 lbs. of water, 5 lbs. of sugar, 3 lbs. of yeast, 5 lbs. of lard and 4 lbs. of salt, allowing 3% loss during fermentation and scaling the loaf at 18 oz. ? Total material 196 -f 120 + 5 + 3 -4- 5 + 4 = 333 lbs. Loss during fermentation is 333 X 0.03 = 9.99 lb. Since 1 loaf requires 18 oz. = 1% lb., so of the 323 lbs. of dough left after fermentation, we obtain 323 ■—- 1% = 287 loaves. 3. How much material is required for making 2,000 loaves, scaled off at 18 ounces and using the materials as indicated in example No. 2? Since, according to example No. 2, 287 loaves are obtained out of 1 bbl. of flour, so for making 2,000 loaves we need 2000 -r- 287 = 6.97 or in a round number 7 bbls. of flour. Water 120 X 7 = 840 lbs. or 840 ~ 8% = 100.8 gal. Sugar 5 X 7 = 35 lbs. Yeast 3 X 7 = 21 lbs. Lard 5 X 7 = 35 lbs. and Salt 4 X 7 = 28 lbs. 4. What is the cost of material for the dough in example No. 2, the prices of the respective materials being: flour $7.35 per barrel, sugar 6 cents, yeast 20 cents, lard 18 cents and salt 2 1 /2 cents a pound and allowing 5 pounds of flour for dusting. Cost of material = 7.35 + 5 X 0.06 + 3 X 0.20 + 5 X0.18 7 35 X 5 + 4 X 0.025 + — = 7.35 -f 0.30 + 0.60 + 0.90 + 0.10 4- 196 0.19 = 9.44. Ans. $9.44. 5. What is the cost of material for 100 loaves in example No. 4? 129 The number of loaves obtainable being 287 (ex. No. 2) and the total cost of material $9.4-4, so the cost for 100 loaves is 9 44 100 X — = $3,289. 287 6. What must be the selling price of these 100 loaves, assuming that cost of materials should be 60%, cost of manu- facture, overhead and profit 40% of the selling price? From the proportion X : 3.289 : : 100 : 60 we find the selling price X = 3.289 X — = $5,482. 60 7. How heavy must a loaf be scaled off, if it is to be sold by the baker at 8 cents and if the dough is made from 1 bbl. of flour, 120 lbs. of water, 4 lbs. of sugar, 2^ lbs. of yeast, 4:Y 2 lbs. of lard and 3 lbs. of salt, allowing 6 lbs. of flour for dusting. Price of flour $8.50 per barrel, sugar 7 cents, yeast 22 cents, lard 20 cents and salt 2 cents a pound, and assum- ing the cost of material to be 55%, labor, overhead and profit 45% of the selling price? The total weight of the mix is 196 + 120 + 4 + 2% + 4y 2 + 3 =330 lbs. The total cost of material is 8.50 + 4 X 0.07 + 24/ 2 X 0.22 + 4U. X 0.20 -f 3 X 0.02 -f 8 ' 50 X 6 = 8.50 + 0.28 + 0.55 + 196 0.90 -f 0.06 + 0.26 = 10.55. Since this $10.55 is to be 55% of the selling price, so the total selling price of all the loaves made from the entire mix must be 10.55 X — = $19.18. 55 At 8 cents per loaf this would necessitate the making of 1918 -=- 8 = 240 loaves out of the mix. From the weight of the total mix, 330 lbs., about 2%% are lost during fermentation, leaving 321% lbs. or 5,148 ounces for scaling off; so every loaf must be scaled off at 5148-4-240 = 21.5 ounces. 8. What must be the temperature of the waier for a mix of 1 bbl. of flour and 120 lbs. of water, if the temperature of the dough should be 82° F. assuming the temperature of the flour to be 60° F. the temperature of the other ingredients, sugar, lard, yeast and salt, the same as that of the bake- shop, 80° F.? Let T indicate the desired temperature of the dough (82°) and t x the temperature of the flour (60° F.), then the tempera- ture of the water, t 2 , is to be calculated by the formula : t 2 == T + 0.66 X (T — tj or closely 5 X T ~ 2 X tx that is : t s = 82 + 0.66 X (82 — 60) = 82 + 0.66 X 22 = 96.5° or 5 X 82 — 2 X 60 410 — 120 290 — = = = 96.6°. 3 3 3 9. How much is the interest on a loan of $1,800 at 5V2% per annum for 2 years 3 months? iSince 2 years 3 months is 2 1 / 4 years, so the interest is 214 X 1800 X 0.055 = $222.75. 10. How much does a discount of 15% amount on a bill of $86.40? 86.40 X 0.15 = $12.96. 11. How much is to be paid on a bill of $103.60 allowing 20% discount? If the discount is 20%, then the amount payable is 80% or 0.80 ; hence on a bill of $103.60 there is to be paid 103.60 X 0.80 = $82.88. 12. What amount must be paid on a bill of $219.20 allow- ing a compound discount of 25%, 12% and 5%? The amount payable after allowing the first discount, 25%, would be 75% or 0.75 of the bill. This, however, will be reduced by the second discount, 12%, to 0.88% of the amount calculated after the first dis- count, that is to 0.75 X 0.88. And the third discount, 5% reduces this amount again to 0.95 or to a total of 0.75 X 0.88 X 0.95 of the original amount. Hence the amount to be paid is 219.20 X 0.75 X 0.88 X 0.95 = $137.38. 131 CHAPTER XII. Mensuration. Mensuration is that branch of mathematics or general geometry which pertains to the measuring or calculating of lines, areas and solids or volumes. Measuring of Areas or Surfaces. Since it is in general impractical if indeed not impossible to measure areas directly, their size has to be caluculated from certain dimensions referring to the respective surface. Square (Fig. 1).* A square is a quadrangle in which all sides as well as all angles are equal, the latter being right angles (90°). To find the area of a square, multiply its side by itself ; in other words, if the side is designated as "a" then the area of a square equals aXa^a 2 , For example : A square whose side is 15 inches, has an area of 15 X 15 — 225 sq. in. Or : The area of a square of 8 ft. 6 in. equals 8y 2 X 8V2 = 72V4 sq. ft. Rectangle (Fig. 2). A rectangle is a quadrilateral having 4 equal angles (90°), but in which only the opposite sides are equal, while the adja- cent sides are of different length. The area of a rectangle is obtained by multiplying its two adjacent sides; or, if these sides are designated as "a" and "b," respectively, this area is a X b. Ex. What is the floor space of a room 18 ft. 9 in. long and 16 feet wide? Since 18 ft. 9 in. equals 18^4 ft. so the area is 1834 x 16 = 300 sq. ft. Triangle (Fig. 3). For calculating the area of a triangle one of its three sides is selected as the base, "b," while the vertical distance of the opposite point from the base is called height, "h." * See Plate X. 132 Then the area of the triangle is equal to y% of the product of the base multiplied by the height; that is: area of triangle equals y 2 X b X h. Ex. A triangular piece of land is 245 feet long, while its opposite corner is at a distance of 180 ft. from the base. The area of this piece of land is y 2 X 245 X 180 = 22,050 sq. ft. Polygonal Figures (Fig. 4 and 5). Any other figure bounded by straight lines can be calcu- lated by dividing the same either into a number of equal triangles as in the case of a regular polygon (Fig. 4), or into unequal triangles and eventually rectangles in figures of irreg- ular shape (Fig. 5), which are then calculated individually and the sum of which represents the total area of the respective figure. Circle (Fig. 6). A circle is a closed curved line, all points of which are equidistant from a point within the circle, called the centre. The distance from the centre to any point of the circumference of the circle is the radius, generally designated as "r, " while a straight line drawn from any point of the circumference through the centre to the opposite side of the circumference is called diameter "d." The diameter is double the radius, or the radius is one-half of the diameter : d = 2 X r and r = y 2 X d. The circumference of the circle is found by multiplying the diameter by 3.14159. . . . The factor 3.14159 . . . which is generally designated by "at" is infinite; but sufficiently accurate results are obtained 22 by using the abbreviated value 3.14 or — hence the circum- ference of a circle equals d X "rn-" = d X 3.14. The area of the circle, however, is the square of the radius multiplied by 3.14, in other words : area of circle equals r X r X 3.14 = r 2 X 3.14. Ex. What is the circumference and area of a round table 6 ft. in diameter? Circumference 6 X 3.14 = 18.84 feet. Area 3 X 3 X 3.14 =28.26 sq. ft. 133 Measuring of Solids. As with areas, so in the case of solids, their size is generally not measured directly but calculated; hollow spaces, however, form an exception insofar they can be measured by filling them with a liquid, f. i., water, the quantity of which is then determined directly. Cube (Fig. 7). A cube is a solid or volume having equal length, width and height ; its sides are 6 equal squares. The volume of a cube, having the side "a," is a X a X a = a 3 . Ex. A cubical box has a side of 3 ft. 4 in., what is its volume ? Volume = 3ys X 3% X 3y 3 = — X ^-X -^-= -^- = 37 T V cu. ft. Rectangular Prism (Fig. 8). If a solid or a space is bounded and enclosed by 6 rectan- gles, which are all joined at right angles, and which may be designated as top and bottom, front and rear, right and left side, and of which each opposite pair is equal, it is termed a rectangular prism. The volume of such a body is found by multiplying the length by the width by the height ; or if these dimensions are designated by "a," "b" and "h," respectively, this volume is a X b X h. .Since a X b equals the rectangle forming the base of the prism, "B," this volume can also be looked upon as being the product of base times height, or B X h. Ex. A room is 24 ft. long 18 ft. wide and 12 ft. high ; then the volume of air in this room is 24 X 18 X 12 = 5,184 cu. ft. Irregular Prism (Fig. 9). If a prismatic space is bounded and enclosed by a number of unequal rectangles of the same length, set at right angles with reference to top and bottom, which are equal but which may be either regular polygons or else may have any shape, such a body or volume is an irregular prism. The volume of the same is calculated according to the same formula as is the rectangular prism, that is : base times height, or B X h- Cylinder (Fig. 10). A body or space whose top and bottom are two circles of the same size and whose side is a continuous curved surface extending along the circumference of top and bottom is called a cylinder. Since for such cylinder the formula of a prism is equally valid, its volume is base X height ; the base being, however, a circle, while by height "h" is meant the vertical distance be- tween the centers of top and bottom, so if the radius of the bottom is designated as "r," the volume is r X r X 3.14 X h. Ex. A cylindrical tank is 8 ft. wide and 10 ft. high. How many gallons of water will it hold ? The volume is 4 X 4 X 3.14 XlO = 502.4 cu. ft. or since 1 cu. ft. is very closely equal to 7% gal. this tank holds 7*4 X 502.2 = 3,768 gal. Pyramid (Fig. 11). A pyramid is a body terminating at the top in a point, its sides being triangles while the bottom may be any figure bounded by straight lines. The volume of a pyramid is one-third of the volume of a prism having the same base and the same height as the pyra- mid; hence the formula is y 3 X B X h, where "B" indicates the base and "h" the height of the pyramid, that is the vertical distance of the top point from the base. Cone (Fig. 12). A body which like the pyramid ends at the top in a point, but whose base is a circle, is called a cone, and its volume is one-third of the volume of a cylinder having the same base and the same height as the cone, hence the volume of cone =Vs X r >< r X 3.14 x h. Frustum of Cone (Fig. 13). Cutting off the upper part from a cone by a plane parallel to its base, a tub-shaped body is left, which is called a "frus- 135 turn." Its top and bottom are circles of different diameter, while its height is to be taken as the vertical distance between top and bottom. The volume of such a "tub" can be calculated approx- imately from its mean radius or diameter, that is, the width in the center and its height, "h." The mean radius equals one-half of the sum of top and bottom radius, or if the same is designated by "m," m = y 2 X (r-f-R), where "r" is the radius at the top and "R" that at the bottom or m = % X (d + D) if "d" and "D" are the re- spective diameters. Then the volume of the frustum equals mX^X 3.14 X h- Ex. A tub is 5 ft. 6 in. wide at the top and 6 ft. 6 in. at the bottom, height being 5 ft., what is its volume? Since its top diameter is 5 ft. 6 in. ; so the top radius is 2 ft. 9 in. and that at the bottom is 3 ft. 3 in. ; hence the mean radius m = y 2 X (2% -4- 314) = 3 ft., and the same value is obtained from top and bottom diameter as *4 X (o 1 /^ + G 1 /^). Hence the volume is 3 X 3 X 3.14 Xo = 141.3 cu. ft. Sphere (Fig. 14 and 15). The volume of a sphere having the diameter "d" = 1/6 X d X d X d X 3.14 = 1/6 X d 3 X3.14, while that of a hemis- phere is one-half of this amount or T V X d X d X d X 3.14.

Nitrogenous constituents of the animal and vege- table organisms, such as the white of an egg or the protoplasm of a cell. (See proteins.) A term formerly applied to certain nitrogenous compounds similar to albumen, occuring in the vege- table organism. Albuminoids are now generally termed protein. (See protein.) A layer of the wheat berry, next to the starch cells, consisting of a row of practically cubical cells containing protein. Substance capable of neutralizing an acid. Among alkalies caustic soda, potash and lime water (slacked lime) are the most common. Amino-Compounds Organic substances containing nitrogen and hydro- gen in combination. Amino-compounds are frequently products of the decomposition of proteins. Ampere The unit of electric current. Analysis Aleurone cells Alkali Ash The process whereby the composition of a material is determined. The mineral residue left after complete burning of a substance and composed mainly of potash, soda, lime, magnesia, sulphuric and phosphoric acid and silica. Atom Average value Bacteria Bicarbonate of soda Bran Break rolls British Unit Thermal By-Products Calorie Carbohydrates Carbon Dioxide Carbonic Acid Gas Casein Finest division or smallest particle of elementary matter. When applied to flour depends upon the amount and quality of bread produced, and is composed of four factors: the color of the flour, loaves to barrel, size of loaf and quality of loaf. The sum of these four factors divided by four gives the average value. Lowest form of plant life, microscopic in size, con- sisting of a single cell of protoplasm and to be found in the soil, in water and in many materials throughout nature. The acid sodium salt of carbonic acid, commonly known as baking soda. With acids or acid substances it gives off carbonic acid gas. The skin of the wheat berry, removed in milling. Consists essentially of epidermis, epicarp, endocarp and the spermoderm or testa. The corrugated rolls employed in milling for break- ing up the wheat berry into middlings. Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit; gen- erally indicated as B. T. U. Secondary products of an industry; so is cotton seed-meal a by-product of the cotton oil industry; skimmed and buttermilk are by-products of butter- making. The amount of heat required to raise the tempera- ture of one kilogram of water one degree Centigrade. Substances composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxy- gen, the latter two in the proportion in which they exist in water. Hence their name: carbo (carbon), hydrate (water). (See carbonic acid gas). Carbonic acid gas is one of the products of fer- mentation. It is also a common constituent of the air, used by plant life in building up starch and other sub- stances. A principal nitrogenous component part of milk and the essential constituent of cheese. Cell The smallest living unit of the animal or plant body; such as a yeast cell or blood corpuscle. Cellulose Clear Flour Cold water extract Compound Conditioning Congealing point Corn Flakes Cover Glass Cream of Tartar Crude Fibre Cuticle Decinormal Dextrine Dextrose Diastase Diastatic power Element Embyro Endocarp The substance which makes up the cell-wall and the fibrous matter of plants. Cotton fibre is almost pure cellulose. The flour made from that part of the middlings which is left after the patent flour has been extracted. The total of the substances that can be extracted from a material by cold water. In chemistry any substance composed of two or more elements. Technically or commercially certain mixtures of fats and oils are termed compounds. The process of treating wheat by the addition of a small percentage of water for the purpose of making it adaptable for milling. (See Solidifying point). A flaky product made from corn by steaming and pressing it by means of rollers. A small flat, circular or square, piece of very thin glass used for covering microscopic objects. Potassium bitartrate; frequently used in baking powders. The woody frame-work of all vegetable organisms. (See cellulose.) (See Epidermis). Solutions of acids or alkalis of 1/10 of the strength of normal solutions. (See normal solutions.) A gum-like substance produced from starch by certain chemical processes; also known as British gum. A fermentable sugar naturally occuring in various fruits; can also be made from starch. (See glucose.) An enzym of malt which has the property of con- verting starch into dextrine and maltose. (See enzyme.) The numerical indication of the capability of malt or malt products to convert starch into sugar; usually expressed as degrees Lintner. (See Diastase.) In chemistry any substance which cannot be decomposed. (See 'Germ.) The inner layer of the skin of the wheat berry, be- tween epicarp and testa. Endosperm Enzyme Epicarp Epidermis Ferment Fermentation The inner part of the wheat berry, containing starch cells and gluten. An unorganized ferment of animal or vegetable origin, e. g. pepsin (from the animal stomach) diastase of malt, etc. Enzymes have, even in small quantities, the power to convert or transform large quantities of complex substances into simpler ones. The middle layer of the skin of the wheat berry, immediately underneath the epidermis. The outer layer of the skin of the wheat berry; also called cuticle. A substance, organized or unorganized, which is capable of producing fermentation. (See yeast.) A chemical decomposition of an organic compound, due to living organisms, or rather to their secretions (enzymes). Fermenting period The time of fermentation in which a flour will of flour give the best results. Since this is dependent upon various conditions, among which is the actual character of the flour, so different flours require different periods of fermentation. Flakes (See Corn Flakes). Flavor A characteristic property of bread comprising taste and odor. Fuel Value When used as a measure of food value, it means the heat that can be generated by the digestible part of the respective food. It is expressed either in British Thermal units or Calories. Gelatinizing of The formation of a jelly-like mass or paste from starch moistened starch by the effect of heat. Germ Or embryo; that part of a seed from which the new plant develops. Gliadin That portion of the gluten which is the cause of its elasticity. Glucose A sugar made from starch by certain technical methods; is identical with dextrose. Gluten In wheat or flour it is that portion of the protein which gives elasticity to the dough in bread making. Gluten, Dry The dry substance obtained by drying the wet gluten. (See wet gluten.) 146 Gluten, Wet Glutenia Grading Graham Flour The residue obtained by washing a weighed quant- ity of flour made into a dough under a stream of water, until all starch is removed.

Litmus paper Either blue or red, prepared by treating paper with either a blue or red extract of litmus. Malt Germinated and dried barley. Maltase Maltase is an enzyme of the yeast that is able to convert maltose into dextrose. (See enzyme.) Malt extract A thick syrup-like liquid representing the concen- trated extract obtained from malt by mashing the same in a ground condition with water at certain tem- peratures, straining off the resulting liquid (wort) and evaporating the greater part of the water. Maltose A sugar obtained from starch by the action of diastase. Melting Point That temperature at which a solid substance changes into a liquid. It is identical with solidifying point. Middlings The coarse particles of the endosperm of wheat obtained by the wheat passing through the break rolls of the mill. Milk Solids Total solid matter contained in milk. Milk Sugar (See Lactose). Moisture Water contained in or held by an apparently dry substance. (See also Humidity.) Molecule A combination or group of atoms which is char- acteristic for any substance. Nitrogenous Organic substances containing nitrogen in combi- matter nation, such as the proteins, etc. Normal acid A solution of acid, containing in 1000 cc. the equivalent weight of the acid in grams (Normal sul- phuric acid contains 49 grs. of chemically pure sul- phuric acid in 1 liter). 148 Normal alkali Objective Ocular Ohm Ohm's Law Organic substances Patent Flour Patent Flour, long Patent Flour, short Pepsin Peptase Permanent hardness Phosphates, acid Potash, caustic Protein A solution of alkali (generally caustic potash or caustic soda) containing in 1000 cc. the equivalent weight of the alkali in grams. (Normal caustic soda contains 40 grs. of pure sodium hydroxide in 1 liter.) A combination of lenses; in the compound micros- cope at the end nearest to the object, respectively to the slide. (Also called eye-piece). A combination of lenses; in the compound microscope at the end nearest to the eye. The unit of electric resistance. The expression of the fact that an electric current in a circuit is in direct proportion to the electric pres- sure (voltage) and in inverse proportion to the resist- ance of the circuit. All compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, oxy- gen ,etc. Frequently derived from or related to or- ganisms. The flour made from the best fraction of the mid- dlings selected and separated from the total of the middlings by means of sieves, sifters or reels. A patent flour comprising a relatively high per- centage of the middling (80% and more). A patent flour comprising the smallest percentage of the middlings (less than 80 and as low as 65%). An enzyme of animal origin which has the power of converting insoluble albuminoids into simpler and readily soluble ones. (See proteolytic enzyme and pep- tase.) An enzyme of vegetable origin contained chiefly in malt or malted cereals, which has in general an ef- fect similar to that of pepsin. (See Hardness). Acid potassium phosphate as well as acid calcium phosphate are some of the ingredients of some baking powders. A compound of the elements of potassium and oxy- gen; in form of its salts important as plant food. Important nitrogenous, animal and vegetable com- pounds of great chemical complexity. 149 Proteolytic Enzymes Protoplasm Pyrometer Red Dog Reduction rolls Rope or ropiness Saccharometer Salt Salt, common Scalping Scourer Separator Slide Soda, baking Soda, caustic Soda, common or washing Solidifying point Straight flour Enzymes which have the power of converting complex proteins into simpler ones. The slimy, homogenous or granular semi-fluid por- tion of the contents of an animal or vegetable cell. An instrument employed for measuring a high tem- perature such as that of a baking oven or a furnace. Is essentially the bran removed in fairly small particles together with a very small percentage of en- dosperm particles in form of dust. The smooth rolls in a mill by means of which the middlings are gradually reduced to flour. An infection in bread caused by certain bacteria. A percentage hydrometer indicating the percents of sugar in a sugar solution. In chemistry any compound of a metal and an acid. A more or less pure grade of sodium chloride. The process of removing the particles of epidermis and epicarp, endocarp and spermoderm (bran) loosened by the effect of the rollers in the mill. A machine employed in milling for the purpose of removing particles of dirt and dust clinging or adher- ing rather persistently to the wheat berry. A machine used for removing from wheat foreign loosened particles, such as oats, barley, cockle grains, also strings, straws, etc. A flat thin, generally rectangular strip of glass, about 1x3 in., upon which the object is placed for mi- croscopic examination. Sodium bicarbonate. (See bicarbonate.) A compound also known as Sodium hydroxide, and composed of sodium, oxygen and hydrogen. Sodium carbonate of technical purity. Differs from baking soda by its lower percentage of carbonic acid contained therein. The temperature at which by abstraction of heat, a substance changes from the liquid to solid state. Also called congealing point or freezing point. A flour milled from the entire contents of the en- dosperm available for milling, excluding only the bran (about 3 to 5%). Sugars Sweet compounds chiefly of vegetable origin, be- longing to the group of carbohydrates. (See Conditioning). (See hardness of water). A layer in the wheat berry below the epidermis and pericarp, consisting of two separate strata and en- veloping the endosperm proper. It contains the color- ing matter of the wheat. Texture of bread The sponge-like appearance of the surface of cut bread with reference to the larger or smaller cavities. The unit of electric pressure or potential. Tempering Temporary Hardness Testa Volt Watt Whole wheat flour Yeast The electric unit for work, equals the product of ampere X volt. A flour milled from wheat without removing the bran. (See Graham Flour.) A microscopic plant belonging to the class of fungi, that possesses the property of causing fermen- tation.

But, as the reaper proved the inadequacy f | of the cradle, so the discovery of the germ of uncleanliness 1 | proved that things may look clean and not be clean. | | The inadequacy of soap and water once proved, something 1 1 better was demanded, and this demand found its answer in the I 1 modern washing material. | This cleaner dissolves readily in water and is unexcelled as a water softener. It washes sanitarily clean with little work and no injury to the thing cleaned, or to the hands. It sweetens sourness and freshens staleness, and is an easy rinser.
