Flour History
The word flour is originally a variant of the word flower, and both words derive from the Old
French and English word that is fleur or flour
which had the literal meaning "blossom", and a figurative meaning "the finest".
The earliest archaeological evidence for wheat seeds crushed between simple millstones to make
flour dates to 6000 BC.
The type of flour used will ultimately affect the finished product.
Flour contains protein and when it comes in contact with water and heat it produces gluten, which
gives elasticity and strength to baked goods.
Milletones
Uses of Gluten
Increased dough strength.
better gas retention and elasticity, which gives products good structure and uniform shape to bread.
better water absorption and retention, improving yield, product softness and extending shelf life of
bread.
enhanced flavor.
Types of flour
Whole meal – This is made from the whole wheat grain with nothing added or taken away.
Brown – This usually contains about 85% of the original grain. Some bran and germ have been
removed.
White – This usually contains around 75% of the wheat grain. Most of the bran and wheat germ
have been removed during the milling process.
Wheat germ – This can be white or brown flour with at least 10% added wheat germ.
Malted wheat grain – This is brown or whole meal flour with added malted grains.
Stoneground – This is whole meal flour ground in a traditional way between two stones.
Organic –This is made from grain that has been grown to organic standards. Growers and millers
must be registered and are subject to regular inspections.
Mixes – there is also an increasing range of flours and mixes containing added seeds or a blend of
different grains available.
Composition of Flour
Starch 68-76% Protein 6-18% Moisture 11-14%
Wheat flour
is a powder made from the grinding of wheat used for human consumption.
Wheat varieties are called "soft" or "weak" if gluten content is low, and are called "hard" or
"strong" if they have high gluten content.
Hard flour, or bread flour, is high in gluten, with 12% to 14% gluten content, and its dough
has elastic toughness that holds its shape well once baked.
Soft flour is comparatively low in gluten and thus results in a loaf with a finer, crumbly
texture
The crumb is a network of starch and protein interspersed with millions of tiny air
bubbles.
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
Flour is the most widely used of all flours.
It comes from the finely ground part of the wheat kernel called the endosperm, which gets
separated from the bran and germ during the milling process.
It is made from a combination of hard and soft wheat, hence the term all-purpose.
This type of flour can be used universally for a wide range of baked products – yeast breads,
cakes, cookies and pastries.
All-purpose flour is a blend of hard and soft wheat; it may be bleached or unbleached.
Flour that is bleached naturally as it ages is labelled.
"unbleached," while chemically treated flour is labelled "bleached.“
Bleached flour has less protein than unbleached.
Bleached is best for pie crusts, cookies, quick breads, pancakes and waffles.
Use unbleached flour for yeast breads, Danish pastry, puff pastry, Yorkshire pudding,
éclairs, cream puffs and popovers.
All-purpose flour has iron, and B-vitamins (thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and folic acid)
Terms
Dough cohesiveness was a good predictive parameter of bread quality. Water content, acidity
values and gluten quality were the main factors determining the texture properties of dough.
Crumb analysis is the visual quantification of the sliced surface area of a baked product. This
technique is used to observe the internal cellular structure of yeast- and chemically-leavened
products to help assess their texture, sensory and eating qualities
Dough is a viscoelastic material which behaves as both a liquid and a solid. It exhibits a
viscous (fluid-like) and an elastic (solid-like) behavior when a force is applied to it.
BREAD FLOUR
Bread Flour is milled primarily for commercial baking use, but can be
found at most grocery stores.
While similar to all-purpose flour, it has a higher gluten content, which is
optimal in making yeast breads.
Bread flour is white flour made from hard, high-protein wheat.
It has more gluten strength and protein con
tent than all- purpose flour.
This is the best choice for yeast products.
SELF-RISING FLOUR
This is a type of all-purpose flour that has salt and a leavening agent added.
One cup contains 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt.
Self-rising can be substituted for all-purpose flour in a recipe by reducing salt
and baking powder according to these proportions.
It is commonly used in biscuits and quick breads or even cookies, but is not
recommended for yeast breads.
CAKE FLOUR
This is a fine-textured, almost silky flour milled from soft wheat and has a
low protein content.
It is used to make all types of baked goods like cakes, cookies, crackers, quick
breads and some types of pastry.
Cake flour has a higher percentage of starch and less protein than bread flour,
which keeps cakes and pastries tender and delicate.
(One cup of cake flour can be made by measuring 1 cup all-purpose flour,
removing 2 tablespoons of flour and replacing that with 2 tablespoons of
cornstarch.)
PASTRY FLOUR
This type of flour has properties that fall between all purpose flour and cake
flour.
It is usually made from soft wheat for pastry making, but can be used for
cookies, cakes, crackers and similarly baked products.
It has a slightly higher protein content than cake flour and less starch
Buckwheat
Flour Buckwheat Flour is gluten-free which makes it a good choice for
anybody with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Celiac disease is a chronic digestive and immune disorder that damages the
small intestine. The disease is triggered by eating foods containing gluten.
The disease can cause long-lasting digestive problems and keep your body
from getting all the nutrients it needs.
Treatments: Gluten-free diet
SEMOLINA FLOUR
This is the coarsely ground endosperm of durum wheat.
Durum wheat is the hardest variety of the six classes of wheat and has the
highest protein content of all wheat.
Because of this, it’s ideal for making high quality pasta and is used by both
American and Italian manufacturers.
It’s also used to make couscous in America and Latin America, as well as in
the U.S.
Durum wheat is rarely used to make bread.
DURUM FLOUR
Durum Flour is a by-product in the production of semolina.
It is usually enriched with four B vitamins and iron, and used to make
noodles
Brown flour
Malted wheat grain – This is brown or whole meal flour with added malted
grains.
Stoneground – This is whole meal flour ground in a traditional way between
two stones.
This usually contains about 85% of the original grain. Some bran and germ
have been removed.
WHITE FLOUR
White flour is made from the endosperm only.
Brown flour includes some of the grain's germ and bran, while whole grain
or whole meal flour is made from the entire grain, including the bran,
endosperm, and germ.
Germ flour is made from the endosperm and germ, excluding the bran.
D/f
White flour is made from the endosperm only.
Brown flour includes some of the grain's germ and bran, while whole
grain or whole meal flour is made from the entire grain, including the
bran, endosperm, and germ.
Gluten
Gluten helps foods maintain their shape, acting as a glue that holds food
together. Gluten can be found in many types of foods
Manganese: 181% 3.8 mg
Protein: 13.70 g
Endosperm
Whole meal flour keeps less well than white flour as the oils from the
germ and bran can become rancid with age.
Whole meal flour will normally keep for about three months while
white flour will be OK to use for six to nine months.
Dairy
The definition of dairy includes foods produced from the milk of mammals,
such as cows and goats.
Basically, it refers to milk and any food products made from milk, including
cheese, cream, butter, and yogurt
Dairy a building or room for the processing, storage, and distribution of milk
and milk products.
A dairy is a farm that specializes in milk and products made from
milk. ... These items themselves can also be called dairy products.
Dairy comes from the Middle English daie, "dairy," which is rooted in the Old
English dæge, "kneader of bread," or "female servant."

pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, alcohol withdrawal
symptoms, and a skin disease called vitiligo.
Some people apply it directly to the skin for vitiligo
Threonine
Threonine is an amino acid. Amino acids are the building
blocks the body uses to make proteins.
Threonine is used to treat various nervous system disorders including
spinal spasticity, multiple sclerosis, familial spastic paraparesis, and
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease)
Tryptophan
Function. The body uses tryptophan to help make melatonin
and serotonin. Melatonin helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle,
and serotonin is thought to help regulate appetite, sleep,
mood, and pain.
The liver can also use tryptophan to produce niacin (vitamin B3),
which is needed for energy metabolism and DNA production
Valine
Valineis one of three branched-chain amino acids (the others are leucine
and isoleucine) that enhance energy, increase endurance, and aid in
muscle tissue recovery and repair.
This group also lowers elevated blood sugar levels and increases growth

Types of milk
When you shop in the dairy case, the primary types of milk
available are –
whole milk (3.25%
milk fat)
reduced-fat milk
(2%)
low-fat milk (1%)and fat-free milk, also known as skim milk.
Each one packs nine essential nutrients including 8 grams of high-
quality protein.
Types of milk vary by percentage of milk fat, or the amount of fat that is
in the milk by weight.
These percentages are noted on the package and by the different cap
colors to show the milk fat at a glance.
While the amount of milk fat does affect the number of calories and

The FMMO system recognizes four different classes of milk:
Grade A milk sold under most Federal orders is classified into
four classes:
Class I milk is sold for fluid consumption and commands the
highest price.
Class II products (yogurt, cream cheese and other soft
manufactured products) use milk that receives a lower price
than milk for fluid consumption.
Class III (cheese),
Class IV (butter and milk powder).

9 Different Mixing Methods
-Beating -Blending -Creaming
-Sifting -Stirring
Beating:
This is the process of creating air or gluten by quickly mixing ingredients.
Blending
This is used to distribute the ingredients in a batter or mixture evenly.
spoon
rubber
spatula
mixer
Creaming
This is when you incorporate air while combining softened fats and sugar.
Cutting:
This is done to mix fats into dry ingredients such as butter into pie dough.
Depending on your final product, you can cut a mixture with a pastry cutter,
your fingers, or the paddle attachment on your mixer
Kneading
This is done to create gluten in your product.
Gluten provides the structure for your finished product.
Sifting:
This process removes lumps from dry ingredients and aerate the ingredients.
Stirring:
This is mixing the ingredients by hand using a rubber spatula, spoon, or
whisk.
Whipping:
This is when you beat a mixture vigorously to incorporate air.
6 types of icing
Buttercream
Buttercream is softer and more spreadable than most icing and is the
preferred choice for taste and flexibility.
It can be used as a filling inside cakes and also as a coating for decoration.
It is made by creaming together sugar and butter or other fats like lard or
margarine.
The quality of the fat used will affect the taste, consistency and appearance
of the cream frosting, as also the temperature at which the butter is
whipped.
The cream melts easily in hot weather and so must be kept chilled to keep
its form.
Whipped cream
If lighter frosting is what you need then whipped cream is the answer.
Often called Chantilly cream or crème Chantilly, it is made by cold-
whipping together heavy cream and sugar till light and fluffy.
You could also add or use meringue powder for stability.
Enhance your cake’s taste by adding flavors to the cream
Royal Icing
Traditionally used to cover and decorate dense fruit cakes, Royal icing is a
pure white and fluid paste that solidifies into a hard outer shell on drying.
Made by beating together egg whites, icing sugar, and lime juice, it looks
smooth, hard and matte when dry.
Some may use meringue powder instead of egg whites because of the risk
of salmonella when using raw egg whites.
A bit heavier than most types of cake icing, the texture and taste are best
when made with high-fat cream cheese.
Marenga
This very light & frothy icing is made by beating together egg whites, cold
water, and granulated sugar.
The technique of introducing air to the mixture gives it a foamy
consistency.
The added sugar stiffens the foam. It can be plain or flavored and with nuts
added to it.
There are 3 popular varieties of meringue – French,
Italian
and Swiss.

Types of Fat
Saturated fat. Saturated fat is solid at room temperature, which is why it is
also known as "solid fat." It is mostly in animal foods, such as milk, cheese,
and meat. ...
Trans fat. This is a fat that has been changed by a process called
hydrogenation. ...
Total fat.
Unsaturated
Mono-unsaturated fat and poly-unsaturated fat are types of unsaturated
fat.
Mono-unsaturated fat: This fat is in avocado, nuts, and vegetable oils, such
as canola, olive, and peanut oils. ...
Polyunsaturated fat: This type of fat is mainly in vegetable oils such as
safflower, sunflower, sesame, soybean, and corn oils.
Saturated
Saturated fat. Saturated fat is solid at room temperature, which is why it is
also known as "solid fat."
Total fat.
The dietary reference intake (DRI) for fat in adults is 20% to 35% of total
calories from fat.
That is about 44 grams to 77 grams of fat per day if you eat 2,000 calories a
day.

Cheese
Cheese is a dairy product, derived from milk and produced in wide ranges of
flavors, textures and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein.
The curd of milk separated from whey, often seasoned and aged.
Cheese is the fresh or ripened product obtained after coagulation and whey
separation of milk, cream, or partly skimmed milk, butter milk or a mixture
of these products.
Curd : is the solid custard like state of milk achieved when milk coagulate
due to acidification and addition of enzyme
Source of cheese
It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the
milk of cows

Aged
Aged cheese is cheese that is left to ripen for several weeks to several
years to develop more flavor and, in the case of many aged cheeses, a
firmer and more crystalline texture.

What is Ruminant?
Dairy animals like cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, and camels are
herbivores because their diets are composed primarily of plant material.
This process of taking food back into the mouth, rechewing, remastication
is called rumination.
Type of cheese
Their styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk
(including the animal's diet),
the butterfat content.
Whole-milk cheese
Before the invention of pasteurization in 1822, all cheese was made with
raw milk.
Is made with 2 percent milk. Non-fat cheese is made with 0 percent or
skim milk.
Goat cheese is lower in fat and has fewer calories than cow's milk cheese.
Fresh cheeses
They usually have a higher moisture content, softer texture, and milder
taste than aged cheeses.
The longer the aging process, the more concentrated or sharp the flavor.
Processed cheese
Non-dairy cheeses
such as soy cheese and daiya, are suitable for people who do not consume
dairy products, but they are highly processed.
Nutritional value of cheese
Cheese is a good source of calcium, a key nutrient for healthy bones and
teeth, blood clotting, wound healing, and maintaining normal blood
pressure.
However, cheese can also be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fat.
The breakdown of macronutrients in any cheese can vary widely,
depending on the type.

The temperatures, times, and target pH for different steps, the sequence
of processing steps, the use of salting or brining, block formation, and
aging vary considerably between cheese types.
Cheese making
Cheese making allows the production of the cheese with diverse flavors
and consistencies.
1. Standardize Milk
Pasteurization
Pasteurization is a process in which packaged and non-packaged foods to
eliminate pathogens and extend shelf life.
Pathogens are an organism that causes disease.
Cool Milk
Milk is cooled after pasteurization or heat treatment to 90°F (32°C) to
bring it to the temperature needed for the starter bacteria to grow.
If raw milk is used the milk must be heated to 90°F (32°C).
Emmental cheese
For cheeses such as Emmental the use of hetero fermentative bacteria is
necessary to produce the compounds that give characteristic fruity flavors
and, importantly,
the gas that results in the formation of bubbles in the cheese ('eye holes').
8. Texture curd
The curd mats are cut into sections and piled on top of each other and
flipped periodically. This step is called cheddaring.
Cheddaring helps to expel more whey, allows the fermentation to
continue until a pH of 5.1 to 5.5 is reached, and allows the mats to "knit"
together and form a tighter matted structure. The curd mats are then
milled (cut) into smaller pieces.
Market form
can be segmented into many types.
On the basis of source like cow milk, sheep milk, goat milk, and buffalo
milk.
Based on type, the market can be segmented into
natural cheese
hard cheese
soft cheese
processed cheese
spreadable cheese
block cheese
Processed chesses >food product made from cheese and other
unfermented dairy ingredient mixed with emulsifiers such as veg oil, salt,
food coloring they changed the cheese color and flavored.
Spreadable chesses> are either cheeses that are naturally soft b/c of
there high moisture content. That are combined with other ingredients
like meat vegetable, fruits, spices, and seasoning thy are known as
spreadable.
Block cheese >is perfect for delis that sell cheese slices by pound .
NATURAL CHEESES
Natural cheeses are also categorized by their degree of hardness.
Soft: Brie, Camembert, cottage cheese, cream cheese, ricotta, feta
Semi–soft: Blue, brick, Havarti, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, Muenster,
provolone
Hard: Cheddar, Colby, Edam, Gouda, Swiss
Very Hard: Parmesan, Romano
Typically made with a base of bread, toast, crackers or pastry topped with almost
any type of savory item and a garnish, the Canapé is made to be served either hot
or cold.
Dips: a dip (for chips): a sauce, a mixture, a condiment (for chips) noun. The noun
dip, meaning a sauce, comes from the act of "dipping" (or lowering) food into the
sauce before enjoying it. It's delicious. Famous "dips" include: guacamole, salsa,
mayonnaise, etc...
What's the difference between a sauce and a dip? However, while sauces are
applied or used on top of food, dips or dipping sauces are used to submerge food,
or usually, food is placed on them. Moreover, a sauce typically moistens food and
acts as a flavor enhancer, while a dip functions as an accessory to a particular dish
What is the meaning of sauces and dips?
A sauce is used to add flavor and moisture to a dish. It embellishes the item that is
the focal point of the dish. Beef gravy embellishes meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
Tomato sauce embellishes pasta, etc. A dip is an appetizer or snack that
embellishes a simple accompaniment like chips or crackers.
Relishes: Why Is It Called a Relish? The common thought is that the word
"relish" originated from the early French word "reles" which translates to
"remainder" or "leftover." This could be from relishes being used to preserve
leftover or excess vegetables and fruits
It is also vegetable side dish that typically is eaten in small quantities with a
blander main dish. Relishes are frequently finely cut vegetables or fruit in sour,
sweet-sour, or spicy sauce. They often are used to enhance or to add flavour to
dishes because of their contrasting texture and spicy or piquant taste.
