Yeast is a single-celled, microscopic fungus which uses sugar as food. Ethanol fermentation is a biological process of converting sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is performed by yeasts in the absence of oxygen.
Why yeast is used in baking industry
-
It reproduces rapidly
-
Yeast produces carbon dioxide during respiration
-
Both A and B
-
None of these
What is the basis of using yeast is baking industry?
-
Bubbles of gas fill the dough
-
Bubbles of gas increase its volume
-
Both A and B
-
None of these
Yeast reproduces rapidly and produces carbon dioxide during respiration. Bubbles of the gas fill the dough and increase its volume.
........... is used in the making of bread and yoghurt.
-
Virus
-
Bacteria
-
Yeast
-
None of the above
Fermentation is the process which is carried by anaerobic respiration of microorganism which leads to the production of lactic acid or alcohol with the release of carbon dioxide. When the yeast is added to the dough of the bread it converts the sugar to ethanol and carbon dioxide which forms bubbles. Yeast has a lot of economical value to the mankind. It is used in the production of bread, wine, curd etc.
Streptococcus lactis is responsible for
-
Conversion of molasses into alcohol
-
Conversion of milk into curd
-
Tanning of leather
-
Flavouring the leaves of tea and tobacco
Streptococcus lactis is an important bacteria responsible for manufacturing of dairy product, curd. It converts milk into curd by the process of fermentation. It breaks the sugar present in the milk and produces lactic acid. This lactic acid results in the curdling of the milk proteins and produces curd with a tangy taste.
The bread becomes soft and porous when the yeast cells are mixed in the lump of dough of wheat flour, because
-
Yeast is soft and flour also become soft.
-
Yeast produces acetic acid and alcohol which gives softness to the bread.
-
Evolution of CO$ _2$ makes the bread spongy.
-
Yeast produces benzoic acid.
- In the production of bread one of the step is fermentation which is done with the help of the yeast or better know as baker's yeast ie Saccharomyces cerevisiae
- At the time of making dough for the bread yeast is added along with other ingredients and is left to rest for sometime which gives yeast time for the fermentation process where it converts the sugar present in the flour to carbon dioxide and alcohol.
- When the dough is baked the release of carbon dioxide at the time of baking leaves holes in the bread which gives the bread its sponginess
- So, the correct answer is 'Evolution of CO22 makes the bread spongy'
Bread dough rises because of the action of
-
Heat
-
Kneading
-
Bacteria
-
Yeast
One of the following is used in the baking of the bread?
-
Zygosaccharomyces octosporus
-
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
-
Saccharomyces ludwigii
-
Rhizopus stolonifer
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae also know as Baker's yeast is used in bread making and in production of many other bakery products.
- It is used for the act of fermentation which is done by the yeast on the sugar/starch that is present in the flour. The starch is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide by the act of fermentation.
- The carbon dioxide in the dough makes the bread dough to rise and also provides the bread with softness and makes it fluffy after it is cooked.
- So, the correct answer is 'Saccharomyces cerevisiae'
Which of the following statement is correct?
-
Paramoecium and Plasmodium belong to same kingdom as that of Penicillium.
-
Lichen is a composite organism formed from symbiotic association of an alga and a protozoan.

-
S. cerevisae
-
S. ludwingii
-
S. octosporus
-
Schizosaccharomyces
The yeast most commonly used for leavening bread is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the same species used for brewing alcoholic beverages. This yeast ferments some of the carbohydrates in the flour, including any sugar, producing carbon dioxide.
During its formation, bread becomes porous due to CO$ _2$ released by
-
Protozoans
-
Bacteria
-
Yeast
-
Viruses
Bread is prepared from the dough, which is fermented using baker's yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ). The puffed-up appearance of dough is due to the production of carbon dioxide during fermentation. Carbon dioxide gas along with ethyl alcohol evaporate during baking, making bread porous and soft.
Which one is used for preparation of bread?
-
Lactobacillus
-
Streptobacillus
-
Aspergillus
-
S.cerevisiae
Mostly bread is semi-sweet in taste due to.
-
Yeast
-
Remnants of alcohol
-
Sugar
-
Acetic acid
In the making of bread both carbon dioxide and alcohol are trapped by the dough and both are expelled from the dough by the heat of baking. So, the bread tastes semi-sweet.
Elevated $CO _{2}$ level can be beneficial to some plants and harmful on others, included
-
Rice
-
Wheat
-
Sugarcane
-
Cotton
Viruses are useful for making breads.
-
True
-
False
- Yeast is used as a leavening agent in bread making. Yeast converts sugars present in the dough to carbon dioxide.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
Technologies break down various plant materials (for example, cellulose, lignin and xylan from crops) and it results in a
-
Non-biodegradeable
-
Less toxic
-
Biomass
-
Biofuel
The productivity of plants as biofuel or biomaterial crops is established by both the yield of plant biomass per unit area of land and the efficiency of conversion of the biomass to biofuel. Genomics approaches support genetic selection strategies to deliver significant genetic improvement of plants as sources of biomass for biofuel manufacture. Genetic modification of plants provides a further range of options for improving the composition of biomass and for plant modifications to assist the fabrication of biofuels. The relative carbohydrate and lignin content influences the deconstruction of plant cell walls to biofuels. Key options for facilitating the deconstruction leading to higher monomeric sugar release from plants include increasing cellulose content, reducing cellulose crystallinity, and/or altering the amount or composition of noncellulosic polysaccharides or lignin. Modification of chemical linkages within and between these biomass components may improve the ease of deconstruction. Expression of enzymes in the plant may provide a cost-effective option for biochemical conversion to biofuel.
