Baker\u2019s yeast is of natural origin, made up of living elements and used in making breads, beer because of its fermenting power.
Baking powder on the other hand is made up of sodium bicarbonate, potassium bitartrate and corn starch and instead of fermentation it causes a chemical reaction. It is used for making cakes.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yeast is an essential ingredient for bread production as it gives life to the dough. During fermentation, the yeast will consume the sugars present in the dough and will naturally produce carbon dioxide which gives volume to the bread, creates the honeycombed appearance of the crumb and develops the aromas of the dough. Fermentation is activated by heat and ends during the baking when the temperature reaches 50\u00b0c (122\u00b0f).<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The development of the aromas and flavours of the bread takes place throughout the baking process, especially during the fermentation and cooking stages and to a lesser extent during the mixing process.<\/p>

Yeast enables specific aromatic notes to develop (more than 540 identified aromatic molecules) according to the baking conditions (ingredients and process). It therefore gives the bread its own aromatic characteristics. Yeasts also play an important role in the colour and texture of the bread\u2019s crust.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yeast is a living organism, naturally present in the natural world. There are different species of yeasts in the wild and the strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been selected for bread-making. This species of yeast was taken from the wild and domesticated to make it accessible to all bakers.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yeasts are rich in nutrients and are likely to naturally increase the effects of functional foods. Because it contains minerals, vitamins and amino acids, yeast has many benefits. Thanks to these elements that are vital for the good functioning of the human body, yeast plays a nutritional role in our diet and our equilibrium. For example, yeast and its derivatives are used in food supplements to supplement our diet, provide for our well-being and contribute to improving our health.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Instant dry yeast is a live and active\u00a0baker\u2019s yeast. Dehydration is a carefully-controlled and stress-free step for the yeast cell to keep it alive and maintain its high fermenting power. Instant dry yeast is very popular with bakers for its great ease of use and its long shelf life.<\/p>

What are the special characteristics of Saf-instant\u2019s instant dry yeast?<\/p>

Saf-instant\u00ae<\/sup> was the first instant dry yeast to be launched on the market in 1973. It was created to make life easier for bakers by offering them a long-lasting, high-quality yeast.<\/p>

Instant dry yeast comes in the form of fine, vacuum-packed vermicelli and brings many advantages:<\/p>
