Gluten formation
◼ Gliadins and glutenins 80% of wheat proteins (continuous
matrix)
◼ Gliadins (MW: 20000-50000) soluble in ethanol solutions
◼ Glutenins (MW: 50000-millions) soluble in dilute acids and
bases
◼ In water and under shear → network

Finer crumb
morphology, more
closed structure, smaller
gas cells with less gas
cells interconnections
and a thicker crust have
a significant positive
effect on water uptake
kinetics and crispness
retention.

Sponge cakes
◼ Types
⚫ Basic sponge cake with baking powder
⚫ Genoese sponge
◼ Essentials

French fries
◼ Crust formation versus cooking of starch, a balancing act
⚫ Crust due to drying of starch upon water evaporation (boiling at 1000C)
⚫ Water escapes the fries, not allowing oil to come in
