The document describes the process of manufacturing bread. It involves mixing flour, water, and yeast which is kneaded and fermented. During fermentation, yeast converts sugars into gases that leaven the bread. The fermented dough is divided, molded into shapes, and baked in ovens. Finally, the cooled bread is sliced and packaged for distribution.
2. FERMENTATION
• Fermentation is a metabolic process in which an organism converts
carbohydrate such as starch and sugar into alcohol /acid
• Example :yeast perform fermentation to obtain energy by converting sugar into
alcohol
• Bacteria perform fermentation by converting carbohydrates into lactic acid

4. HISTORY OF FERMENTATION
• It’s a natural process
• People applied fermentation to make products such as wine ,cheese ,beer etc.
• Louis Pasteur became the first scientist to study fermentation
• He showed that lactic acid fermentation is caused by living organism
• In 1860 he demonstrated that bacteria cause souring in milk a process
formely thought to be merely chemical change

6. BREAD
• Wheat and barley were two of the earliest plants to be cultivated for bread
making
• Bread is made with three basic ingredients: grain, water, and bakers' yeast
• All grains are composed of three parts: bran (the hard outer layer), germ (the
reproductive component), and endosperm (the soft inner core)
7. Cont…..
• All three parts are ground together to make whole wheat and rye breads
• To make white flour, the bran and the germ must be removed
• The grinding takes place at grain mills, which sell the grain to bakeries in bulk
10. Manufacturing Process
• Mixing and kneading the dough
• Fermentation
• Division and gas reproduction
• Molding and baking
• Slicing and packaging

12. Mixing and kneading the dough
• The sifted flour is poured into an industrial mixer Temperature-controlled
water Bread is piped into the mixer
• This mixture is called "gluten" and gives bread its elasticity
• A pre-measured amount of yeast is added.The growth of the yeast produces
gas bubbles, which leaven the bread
13. Cont…..
• Mixer is essentially an enclosed drum that rotates at speeds between 35 to 75
revolutions per minute. Inside the drum, mechanical arms knead the dough to the
desired consistency in a matter of seconds
• The mixing process takes about 12 minutes
14.
15. FERMENTATION
• The high-speed machinery is designed to manipulate the dough at extreme speeds and
with great force, which forces the yeast cells to rapidly multiply
• Fermentation can also be induced by the addition of chemical additives such as 1-
cysteine and vitamin

17. Division and gas reproduction
• After fermentation, it is loaded into a divider with rotating blades that cut the dough into
pre-determined weights
• A conveyer belt then moves the pieces of dough to a molding machine
18. Cont…..
• Molding machine shapes the dough into balls and drops them onto a layered conveyer
belt that is enclosed in a warm, humid cabinet called a "prover“
• The dough moves slowly through the prover
19. MOLDING AND BAKING
• When the dough emerges from the prover, it is conveyed to a second molding machine which
re-shapes the dough into loaves and drops them into pans
• Pans travel to another prover that is set at a high temperature and with a high level of
humidity
• Dough regains the elasticity lost during fermentation and the resting period
20. Cont…..
• From the prover, the pans enter a tunnel oven
• They are completely baked and partially cooled
• While inside the tunnel, the loaves are mechanically dumped from the pans onto
shelves
• The baking and cooling process lasts approximately 30 minutes
21. SLICING AND PACKAGING
• The bread continues to cool as it moves from the oven to the slicing machine
• vertical serrated blades move up and down at great speeds, slicing the bread into consistently
sized pieces
22. Cont…..
• Metal plates hold the slices together while picking up each loaf and passing it to the
wrapping machine
• Pre-printed plastic bags are mechanically slipped over each loaf
