Rye

Baking is a process that has been practiced for centuries, and bakery products range in complexity from the simple ingredients of a plain pastry to the numerous components of a cake. While currently there are many books available aimed at food service operators, culinary art instruction and consumers, relatively few professional publications exist that cover the science and technology of baking. In this book, professionals from industry, government and academia contribute their perspectives on the state of industrial baking today.

The second edition of this successful and comprehensive overview of bakery science is revised and expanded, featuring chapters on various bread and non-bread products from around the world, as well as nutrition and packaging, processing, quality control, global bread varieties and other popular bakery products. The book is structured to follow the baking process, from the basics, flour and other ingredients, to mixing, proofing and baking.

Blending the technical aspects of baking with the latest scientific research, Bakery Products Science and Technology, Second Edition has all the finest ingredients to serve the most demanding appetites of food science professionals, researchers, and students.

SummaryThe present world harvest of rye is about 14.8 million tons, most of which is produced in the northern part of the region from the Nordic Sea to the Ural Mountains. Over one?third of the total rye crop is used for food, predominantly for various types of bread. Arabinoxylan is the major dietary fiber component of rye grain, and contributes remarkably to the water binding properties of the flour. The chemistry and solubility of the arabinoxylans is different in different parts of the grain. The main bioactive compounds in rye are lignans, phenolic acids, alk(en)ylresorcinols, phytosterols, trace elements and minerals, folates, tocopherols and tocotrienols and other vitamins. Consumption of rye products has also been related to possible colon and prostate cancer risk? reducing effects. The characteristic intense flavor of rye products is formed through the flavor components and precursors of rye, but particularly through the processing techniques used.
