Leur procédé de fabrication est également visé par l'invention. Le but de l'invention est de fournir, d'une part, des produits de boulangerie, en particulier de pains, de forme et de dimensions adaptées pour une cuisson dans un grille-pain, et, d'autre part, un procédé industriel de fabrication de ces produits. Ces produits de boulangerie sont des pains précuits se présentant sous forme de pièces de dimensions (χ', y', z') en référence à un repère tridimensionnel d'axes (Χ', Y', Z') orthogonaux, ces pièces étant obtenues à partir de pâtons (1) de dimensions (x, y, z) en référence à un repère tridimensionnel d'axes (X, Y, Z) orthogonaux caractérisés en ce qu'ils comportent des marques en creux réparties de manière homogène sur toute la face supérieure du produit avec x' ≥ 0,8⋅(x); y' ≥ 0,8⋅(y); x', y' étant respectivement les plus grandes dimensions des pains selon les axes X' et Y'; x, y étant respectivement les plus grandes dimensions des pâtons (1) selon les axes X et Y; la différence (D en %) entre la hauteur maximale moyenne (z'max moy) et la hauteur minimale moyenne (z'min moy) de la face supérieure des pains: D = [(z'max moy - z'min moy) / z'max moy]⋅ 100 est inférieure ou égale à 30 L'invention vise également les pâtons (1) marqués qui conduisent aux pains après cuisson. Le procédé selon l'invention consiste essentiellement à marquer en creux au moins la face supérieure des pâtons, la profondeur (p) d'au moins une partie des marques en creux correspondant à au moins 80% de l'épaisseur (z) du pâton considéré, (z) et (p) étant mesuré sur le même axe.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a high intensity ultrasonic treatment method and apparatus that is used in conjunction with an existing commercial dough or batter mixer to enhance the Theological, aeration and textural properties of the dough or batter. This change in properties is a result of the phenomenon of acoustic cavitation induced in the dough or batter by treatment with high intensity ultrasonic waves. The present invention discloses a mixing bowl (20) of an existing mixer system that is preloaded with dough or batter, the bowl (20) is located at the center of an ultrasonic bath tank (101) filled with a working fluid. The effect of ultrasonic" waves with power levels above 1 kW can be observed over the entire or partial mixing period of the dough or batter. The ultrasonic waves of the present invention are generated by a plurality of ultrasonic wave generators (T04A, 104B) and piezoelectric transducers (1) mounted on a stainless steel tank (101). The electrical energy received in each transducer (1) will be converted into appropriate mechanical expansion and contractions in the piezoelectric ceramics of the transducer (1 ) thus leading to pressure waves being transmitted to the dough or batter to be mixed. The generation and transmission of high intensity ultrasonic waves to the dough or batter. affects its Theological, aeration and textural properties.

Application dans le domaine de la préparation culinaire.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of preparing a leavened bread dough, said method comprising the following sequence of processing steps: • combining flour, water, yeast and/or leavening agent, and optionally one or more additional bakery ingredients to produce a dough-type mix; • mixing and working the dough-type mix in a mixer to produce an underdeveloped dough with a density of 0.9-1.5 g/ml, the total energy input from the mixer into the underdeveloped dough during said mixing and working of the dough-type mix being at least 1 W.h/kg; • further working a batch of at least 15 kg of the underdeveloped dough by subjecting it to deformation shear, thereby producing a developed dough; • dividing the developed dough into two or more developed dough pieces having an individual mass of 30-3000 g; and • leavening the developed dough pieces to yield leavened dough pieces having a specific volume of at least 2.0 ml/g; wherein the aforementioned sequence of processing steps is completed within 3 hours. The present process employs high energy working to produce an underdeveloped dough, followed by low energy working to further develop the dough. By employing a combination of high energy working and low energy working the total working energy needed for preparation of a fully developed dough can be reduced substantially. At the same time, this combination of working conditions produces a dough that after baking yields a very soft crumb with an extremely regular crumb structure. The invention further provides a loaf of tin bread having a unique cellular structure that can be obtained by the aforementioned method as well as an apparatus for operating the above mentioned method.
Abstract:
A method for producing dough which has reduced proofing time. The proofing time is at least 33% less that that required in the absence of vacuum exercising. The method comprises mixing the dough ingredients, forming gas nucleation sites by proofing the dough, exercising the dough by subjecting the dough to cycles of differential pressure, allowing the dough to return to ambient pressure and then, optionally, baking the dough.
Abstract:
One or more of hydrolysed wheat flour, soluble dietary fibre, prebiotic dietary fibre, polydextrose and soluble corn fibre ate used as basic matrix-forming ingredients in an expanded food product. The matrix-forming ingredients are mixed together with water, plus a whey protein isolate or whey protein concentrate,to increase the protein content of the food. A dough is formed which is then formed into pieces which are temperature conditioned before being expanded under a vacuum caused by evaporation of moisture in the dough. All steps of the process of making the expanded food products, including any subsequent drying, is carried out at a temperature not exceeding 75 °C, which advantageously allows mixing in of temperature sensitive ingredients, e.g. vitamins, pharmaceuticals, at the dough forming stage. The products have a honeycomb structure and there is no significant change in flavour or nutritional value of the ingredients caused by the process of manufacture. Advantageously, acrylamide formation is also avoided.
Abstract:
A method and system for preparing naan bread is provided. A conveyor oven is used to bake flattened and pre-shaped naan bread loaves. The conveyor oven uses high temperature gas heat to bake the naan, imparting traditional characteristics such as the slightly smoky or scorched appearance. The oven interior is preferably lined with stone, granite, clay or porcelain to enhance baking and provide traditional flavour.
