The intensification of baking yeast with water-soluble fullerene

The possibility of using water-soluble fullerene in bread production was studied in the research. Fullerenes are allotropic carbon modification. They have biological activity and used for medical purposes as antioxidants, radioprotectors, antifungal and other agents. In this regard there was interest in studying the influence of water-soluble fullerene on baking yeast and fermentation process in bread production. One of the main factors affecting technological process and the quality of bakery products is biological activity of the yeast and lactic acid bacteria. In the study the control sample was selected for the recipe of wheat bread from premium flour. Fullerene was dissolved in water and introduced as an aqueous solution when kneading the dough. Kneading was carried out manually on the yeast of the firm ‘Angel’; accelerated method of preparing bread was selected. Before kneading the batch yeast activation was performed in water (control) and in fullerene solutions (1, 1...
