• Hard wheats contain greater quantities of the proteins
glutenin and gliadin, and are used to produce strong
flours.
• Strong flours are used to make breads and yeast
products.
• Soft wheats are used to produce weak flours often used
in cakes, cookies, and pastries.

• Bran is the hard outer covering of
the kernel. It is present in whole
wheat flour and is high in fiber, B
vitamins, fat, protein, and minerals.
• Germ is the part of the kernel that
becomes a new wheat plant if
sprouted. It is high in protein,
vitamins, minerals, and fat.
• Endosperm is the white, starchy
part of the kernel that remains
when the bran and germ are
removed.

Ingredients
Sugars
Copyright © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All Rights Reserved
The chemical name for sugar obtained from sugar
cane or sugar beets is sucrose.
• Lactose is the sugar found in milk.
• Maltose is the malt sugar.
• Fructose is the simple sugar found in fruit.
4
Ingredients
Sugars
Copyright © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All Rights Reserved
When a sucrose solution is heated with an acid,
some of the sucrose breaks down into equal parts
of two simple sugars, dextrose, and levulose.
Equal parts of dextrose and levulose is called
invert sugar.

Ingredients
Yeasts
Copyright © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All Rights Reserved
• Fermentation is the process by which yeast acts on
sugars and changes them into carbon dioxide.
• Yeast is a living organism. It is sensitive to temperature.

Ingredients
Types of Yeast
• Fresh or compressed yeast: moist and

perishable, and is preferred by professionals.
It must be refrigerated as it only lasts 2 weeks.
• Active dry yeast: a dry, granular form of yeast. It requires
rehydration.
• Instant dry yeast: dry granular form of yeast
but does not require rehydration. Contains
little dead yeast so produces gases much
quicker than active dry yeast.

Ingredients
Chemical Leaveners
Copyright © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All Rights Reserved
• Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate): if moisture and an
acid are present, soda releases carbon dioxide gas.
• Baking Powder: a mixture of baking soda plus one or
more acids.
• Double-acting baking powder has two acids that
release gases with moisture and heat.
• Baking ammonia: a mixture of ammonium carbonate,
ammonium bicarbonate, and ammonium carbamate.
4
Ingredients
Air
Copyright © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All Rights Reserved
• Air is incorporated into all doughs and batters during
mixing.
• The formation of air cells is important even in products
leavened by yeast or baking powder because the air
cells collect and hold the leavening gases.
4
Ingredients
Methods of Incorporating Air
Copyright © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All Rights Reserved
• Creaming: the process of beating fat and sugar together
to incorporate air.
• Foaming: the process of beating eggs, with or without
sugar, to incorporate air.
4
Ingredients
Steam
Copyright © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All Rights Reserved
• When water turns to steam, it expands to 1100 times its
original volume.
• Because all baked products contain some moisture,
steam is an important leavening agent.

Using gelatin in formulas:
• Soften gelatin in water or other liquid. It absorbs 5 times
its weight in water (blooming).
• Softened gelatin is added to hot ingredients or is heated
with other ingredients until it dissolves.
• The mixture is chilled until it sets.

Pectin is a vegetable gum that can absorb a great
deal of water and is used for thickening or gelling
liquids.
• Pectin is extracted from fruits and used to thicken or gel
fruit preserves, jams, and jellies.
• In order for pectin to gel, high sugar content and an acid
are necessary.

Chocolate and Cocoa
Copyright © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Chocolate and cocoa are derived from cocoa or cacao
beans. The beans are fermented, roasted, and ground,
yielding chocolate liquor, which contains cocoa butter.
• Cocoa is the dry powder that remains after
part of the cocoa butter is removed from the
chocolate liquor.
• Dutch process cocoa is processed with an
alkali to make it darker and more easily
dissolved in liquids.

Chocolate and Cocoa
Copyright © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All Rights Reserved
• Unsweetened chocolate is straight chocolate liquor.
• Sweet chocolate is bitter chocolate with the addition of
sugar and cocoa butter.
• Milk chocolate is sweet chocolate to which milk solids
have been added.
• Cocoa Butter is the fat pressed out of the chocolate
liquor.
• White chocolate is made of cocoa butter, sugar, and milk
solids. Technically, it should not be called chocolate
because it does not contain cocoa solids.

Chocolate and Cocoa
Copyright © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Cocoa contains starch, which absorbs moisture (drier) in a
batter. When adding cocoa to a formula, use the rule of
thumb:
• Reduce the flour by 3/8 (37.5%) of the weight of cocoa added.
