Raising Agent Close this window RAISING AGENT A raising agent or leavening agent is any one of a number of substances used in dough and batters that causes a foaming action that lightens and softens the finished product. Formation of carbon dioxide is induced by chemical agents reacting with moisture, heat, acidity, or other triggers. TYPES OF RAISING AGENTS 1. Chemical raising agents 2. Mechanical actions as raising agents 3. Natural leaveners as raising agents: 4. Combination method CHEMICAL RAISING AGENTS The main three Chemical Leaveners used in Baking are: · Baking Powder, · Baking Soda and · Ammonium Carbonate. Baking Powder is a blend of acid (most commonly calcium acid phosphate, sodium aluminium sulphate or cream of tartar) and alkali – (baking soda/sodium bicarbonate). These create carbon dioxide bubbles when liquid and heat are added. Commercial baking powder uses several compounds which gives it a double action. It acts when liquid is added and once again when heat is added after you put your product in the oven. Baking Soda (Bicarbonate of Soda), is used when there is already an acid ingredient in the recipe such as: Applesauce, buttermilk, brown sugar, chocolate, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, honey, lemon juice, molasses, vinegar. When baking soda comes in contact with an acid and liquid is added, carbon dioxide (CO2), water and a neutral salt are produced. Care must be taken with how much baking soda is used. If too much - a ‘soapy’ aftertaste remains and the product bakes darker. If not enough is used - an acid flavour remains. Baking soda is much stronger than baking powder. The general rule is to use 1 to 1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder per half cup of flour, (4ozs/100g). Baking soda should be added at 1/4 teaspoon per half cup of flour, (4ozs/100g). How do these chemical leaveners work? When carbon dioxide is released by either baking soda and/or baking powder, it first dissolves in the liquid. When this becomes saturated, the carbon dioxide produced turns into the air bubbles which expand. Towards the end of baking the bubbles set. You have a well risen product showing tiny air holes when cut. Ammonium Carbonate: it also produces carbon dioxide in presence of heat but because of the strong offensive flavour, it is always to be used with very strong flavouring agents. MECHANICAL ACTIONS as RAISING AGENTS: · Creaming method · Kneading method · Whisking method The physical actions of creaming, kneading, beating, and whisking will incorporate tiny air bubbles which expand when heat is added. The addition of flour gives structure for the air bubbles to work against - you get rise. This structure is fixed in the oven by heat. Creaming Method: Fat and sugar are creamed together until the sugar crystals melt and the whole mass takes on the consistency of whipped cream. Use castor sugar which has a small crystal size. It will combine with the fat far easier than granulated sugar, which has a larger crystal. The creaming method incorporates air into the mixture which is held in place by the semi-solid fat. These bubbles expand during baking allowing the batter to rise. Care must be taken once flour is added. This should be folded in carefully to avoid development of the gluten lattice structure. You will get a cake with a better texture and more rises by using special cake flours here - they are low in gluten. Kneading is a process used in bread making. Yeast liquid is dispersed into high gluten flour to make dough. The mechanical action of kneading the dough, either by hand or machine develops the gluten strands which form into a lattice structure. As gentle warmth is applied, carbon dioxide is released by the yeast and is trapped in pockets; these continue to expand until heat is applied during baking. Heat kills the yeast off and fixes the gluten's lattice structure in place, which leaves you with a well-risen, light, loaf. Whisking: When volume has to be added then the whisking method is used. Meringues are made by whisking egg whites with sugar until the volume is six to eight times more than you began with. Gentle heat applied over several hours dries out the meringue and leaves a crisp, sweet confection. Fatless sponge cakes require whole egg and sugar to be whisked together to achieve a high volume. Cake flour is gently folded in. Air incorporated into the egg gives volume and lightness to the cake. NATURAL LEAVENERS as RAISING AGENTS: · Yeast · Steam Yeast is a natural leavener. Give it food, moisture, warmth and air and it will grow. During this ‘fermentation’ process the carbon dioxide gas released by it is trapped in tiny air cells. These continue to expand and push up against the latticed gluten structure and rise! The lattice structure is formed and developed when water is added to the wheat protein (gluten), and then kneaded together. It takes about 2 hours using fresh, active dry, or, instant active dry yeast, for the bread to complete this proving stage. The baking process stops the action of yeast cells by killing them and fixing the lattice structure of the wheat protein (gluten). Sourdough – a natural process using air borne yeast cells can take up to 24 hours to reach the stage for baking. This lengthy process produces bread with a wonderful aroma and flavour. Yeast can of two types: 1. Fresh or compressed yeast 2. Dry yeast The scientific name of yeast is Saccharomyces Cerevisiac. Yeast is unicellular microscopic fungi. The structure of yeast consist : 1. Cell wall 2. Protoplasm 3. Vacoale Food: Simple sugar like dextrose or fructose. Suitable climate: 80 to 85 degree F, at least 70% humidity can give the best result. Fermentation activity: the protoplasm of yeast contains following enzymes: Invertase: it converts cane sugar or sucrose into simpler form of sugar which is known as invert sugar, which is a combination of dextrose and fructose. Maltase: it converts maltose sugar into dextrose which can be directly fermented by yeast. Zymase: this is the most important fermenting agent which breaks invert sugar and dextrose to carbon dioxide, some amount of pure alcohol, and very small amount of glycerine, acetic acid and some amount of lactic acid. It also produces some flavourful aroma which gives a pleasant fermentation flavour. Protease: it softens down the flour protein, thus gives a better stretchability for the bread (to be specific on gluten) so that it can get a good volume and structure. Storage of yeast: Stored at 45 degree F. Yeast is killed by heat in a range of 127 degree to 140 degree F. Symptom of damaged or rotten yeast: · Buttery consistency · Brownish in colour · Crumbly in texture, · Very obnoxious smell. Steam is the most basic of raising agents, but also the most complex in technique. In puff pastry, the layers of butter and pastry are heated. The butter lets off steam which pushes up against the pastry leaves and you get rise. Once the steam has evaporated, the pastry leaves are set in place by heat during baking. With choux pastry and Yorkshire puddings, steam is released from the wet batter which pushes up against the gluten lattice and you get a puffed up pastry, again, fixed by the heat of the oven. In both cases, strong flour is necessary to give a lattice structure which will not break through the force of steam. COMBINATIONS: Danish pastries are a combination of aeration by yeast and lamination. For this, rich yeast dough is made and butter is incorporated as for puff pastry. In this, the pastry expands in volume because of the process of aeration by lamination, and at the same time is aerated by the action of yeast. All raising agents (leaveners) work on the same principal, be it Chemical, Mechanical or Natural. Gasses expand, push up against a structure, you get rise, which is fixed by the heat of the oven. It is by using ingredients and baking techniques in the correct manner which ensures success when we bake Close this window.

  • Irish Soda Bread
    Irish Soda Bread Embrace the Emerald Isle. While all the amateurs are running around with green beer, make something that actually speaks of Ireland. As bread recipes go, this recipe is insanely easy. It gets its rise from the chemical reaction of baking soda and buttermilk. The raisins can be a point of contention among the Irish diaspora, so know your audience before you omit them. We love the sweetness they impart. An Irish-American tradition for St. Patty’s Day, this loaf is made year-round in Ireland for any reason at all. Be sure to purchase good Irish butter to slather on top. Very lucky, indeed. Ingredients 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for pan 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading 2 cups whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup raisins 2 cups buttermilk, well shaken Good Irish butter, for serving special equipment 9-inch round, 2-inch deep metal cake pan Directions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter a 9-inch round cake pan. Using a fork, stir the flours with salt and baking soda in a large bowl until combined. Add in the raisins, tossing to coat. Pour in the buttermilk while stirring with the fork, just until a rough dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times until the dough comes together. If it is sticky, sprinkle with a little more flour. Do not overwork the dough. Gather the dough into a ball and place it in the buttered pan, pressing lightly with your fingers to fill the pan.

  • Quick Breads
    FN-SSB.923 Quick Breads KNEADS A LITTLE DOUGH While baking yeast bread may be intimidating to some people, there are some “quick” options to get you started in the kitchen. Muffins, coffeecakes, scones, waffles, and pancakes are all breads that can be made in a short period of time and with very little effort. The difference between yeast breads and quick breads is the leavening agent. Yeast is a living cell that multiplies rapidly when given the proper food, moisture, and warmth. It must “proof”, or rise, to allow the production of carbon dioxide that allows the bread to rise during baking. Quick breads use the chemical leavening agents of baking powder and/or baking soda. Baking powder and baking soda do not require time for rising, so the batter for quick bread is cooked immediately after mixing. The best thing about quick breads is that the options are limitless when it comes to ingredients. The limiting factor in good quick breads is the correct mixing. Over mixing or under mixing will result in a poor quality product. BASIC INGREDIENTS Different quick bread batters are created by varying the ingredients and combining them in a certain way to form the structure of the bread. The possibilities are endless, but the common factor is the basic ingredients of fat, sugar, eggs, flour, liquid, leavening agent, and a flavoring ingredient. The flavoring might be a fruit or vegetable, a liquid such as buttermilk or fruit juice, an extract, herbs, or spices. Depending how the ingredients are mixed together will determine the texture and quality.

    Paper No.: 13 Paper Title: FOOD ADDITIVES Module – 21 : Raising agents, Glazing agents and Sequesterants for the food industry 21.1 Introduction Raising agents, Glazing agents and Sequesterants have their distinct role in various food products. Important raising or leavening agents, glazing agents and sequestering agents used for the food industry are discussed in this module. 21.2 Raising agents for the food industry Raising agent or Leavening Agent is a substance used to produce or stimulate production of carbon dioxide in baked goods in order to impart a light texture, including yeast, yeast foods, and calcium salts. It is a substance or combination of substances which liberate gas and there by increased volume of a dough. Different raising agents are discussed below: 21.2.1 Calcium carbonate Calcium carbonate is a naturally occurring mineral (chalk or limestone), but the food- grade material is made by reaction of calcium hydroxide with carbon dioxide, followed by purification by flotation. It is used as a colour, a source of carbon dioxide in raising agents, an anti-caking agent, a source of calcium and a texturising agent in chewing gum. Calcium carbonate is used in chewing gum and in bread. 21.2.2 Calcium phosphates The calcium phosphates are manufactured by the reaction of hydrated lime and phosphoric acid under conditions controlled to maximize the yield of the required product. Monocalcium phosphate Monocalcium phosphate is used as a raising agent when rapid reaction with sodium bicarbonate is required. Dicalcium phosphate Dicalcium phosphate is available in both dihydrate and anhydrous forms. The dihydrate is used as a raising agent in combination with other phosphates and sodium bicarbonate.

Mixing BAKING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Mixing You have quality ingredients on hand, and a formula that has been tested and refined, and it is time to make the product. The first step is mixing all of the ingredients together. Mixing can be accomplished in different ways. For centuries, doughs were mixed only by hand. As technology has advanced, various mixers have been developed to take the place of hand mixing. The type of mixer used in production depends on several factors: the type of product(s) being made, the amount or volume product that needs to be produced, the rate at which the products will be produced, and the amount of space available in the bakery. Some bakers still maintain the tradition of hand mixing. Manually kneading the dough allows the baker to determine when the optimum dough development is reached. Slight changes in flour due to crop or supplier changes may not be as much of an issue with the hands-on approach.

  • How My Mother Made Bread
    How My Mother Made Bread Vida My mam made bread every week, usually on Thursday or Friday, so it would be fresh for the weekend. She made four loaves. She used a big wooden bowl. She took a bag of flour from the pantry then she sieved some flour into the bowl. She prepared everything the evening before. In the morning she started making bread. In a little bowl she mixed the yeast, some flour and the water, and left it to rise. When it was ready, she put it in the big bowl with the rest of the flour, adding more water and kneading everything together. She left it to rise again. When it was ready she divided the dough into four parts in the shape of a circle. She put the circles into handmade baskets made out of straw. She prepared the baskets by sieving flour onto special tea towels. While the dough was rising she prepared a fire in the special oven outside. When the dough and temperature was high enough, she cleaned the oven, then put the dough into the oven for one and a half hours. When the loaves were ready, she took them out to cool down. She wrapped the bread up in special handmade tea towels and then she stored them in a cellar, on a shelf. I needed better English for work. Kath and I have worked together for two and a half years. I enjoy my time and feel I’ve got much better.
