Gelatinisation- Gelatinization is the process whereby the starch particles absorb moisture, expand and become firm. This process starts at 140 degrees and is complete when the sauce becomes bubbly.
Elasticity- Elasticity is its ability to go back to its original shape, the gluten, which forms when the flour interacts with water, is what lends the dough the elasticity.
Shortening- The effect of adding fat to a floury mixture- giving a product a crumbly texture, when fat coats flour particles and stops gluten (particals) chains breaking up and creating a crumbly texture, with little elasticity.
Aeration-There are 5 ways in which Aeration can be achieved in cake making-
- Biological (panary, yeast ).
- Chemical (baking powder).
- Mechanical ( whisking and beating)
- Physical ( lamination, steam )
- Combinations of the above.
Emulsification- A mixture of two or more unblendable mixtures.
