In bread making activity what are the roles do enzymes play
Accepted Answer
In bread making, enzymes present in flour or added as supplements play crucial roles. The most important enzymes are amylases and proteases.
Amylases break down starch into sugars, providing nourishment for the yeast. Proteases break down proteins, producing amino acids that contribute to the bread's flavor and texture.
Enzymes help:
- Convert starch into sugars for yeast fermentation
- Enhance dough elasticity and strength
- Improve crumb texture and loaf volume
- Control crust color
- Extend shelf life by inhibiting mold growth
