As the manufacture of flour confectionery has developed from a craft, reliant on the skills of its workers, to a mechanised industry, it has become necessary to understand the principles underlying the processes involved. This book provides up to date information on the nature of raw materials, the types of equipment available and the changes which occur during processing. An objective approach to the description of products is outlined and recipes are given as possible starting points. Factors affecting the decisions of managers and technologists during development work and methods of controlling processing operations are also discussed. The subject is approached from a problem solving viewpoint, and there is a useful guide to the troubleshooting of many problems commonly encountered in the industry. The book is written for food scientists and technologists in the flour confectionery manufacturing industry. It will also be an essential source of reference for the industry's ingredient suppliers and equipment manufacturers, and for those working or studying in academic and research institutions.
Water is the major contributor to the eating and keeping qualities and structure of baked products. Its management and control during preparation, processing, baking, cooling and storage is essential for the optimisation of product quality. This successful and highly practical volume describes in detail the role and control of water in the formation of cake batters, bread, pastry and biscuit doughs, their subsequent processing and the baked product. Now in a fully revised and updated second edition, the book has been expanded and developed through the inclusion of new information and references related to the formation and processing of batters and dough into baked products. The new edition includes a selection of case studies based on practical experience in the manufacture and optimisation of baked products. Each case study, illustrated as appropriate, considers the various roles that water may play in different manufacturing contexts. The book is aimed at food scientists and technologists in bakery companies; ingredient suppliers; flour millers; researchers and students in academic food science departments.
The popularity of the 1973 fifth edition of The Technology of Cake Making has continued in many of the English-speaking countries throughout the world. This sixth edition has been comprehensively revised and brought up to date with new chapters on Cream, butter and milkfat products, Lactose, Yeast aeration, Emulsions and emulsifiers, Water activity and Reduced sugar Eggs and egg products, Baking fats, and lower fat goods. The chapters on Sugars, Chemical aeration, Nuts in confectionery, Chocolate, Pastries, Nutritional value and Packaging have been completely rewritten. The increased need for the continuous development of new products does not of necessity mean that new technology has to be constantly introduced. Many of the good old favourites may continue to be produced for many years and they form suitable 'bench marks' for new product development. The sixth edition introduces the use of relative density to replace specific volume as a measure of the amount of aeration in a cake batter (the use of relative density is in line with international agreement). Specific volume is kept as a measurement of baked product volume since the industry is comfortable with the concept that, subject to an upper limit, an increase in specific volume coincides with improvement in cake quality.
Confectionery in a broader sense implies the preservation of sweet meat preparation in the form of candies, caramels, chocolate, processed cocoa products and traditional Indian confections. India is a country with a collection of wide range of different cultures and many festivals and occasions are being celebrated in different parts of the nation and confectioneries play a major role in those special occasions. Therefore, the confectionery industry in this country has got a huge potential and this sector has grown recently in the India with the entry of many foreign companies. Special emphasis has been made on describing the various process parameters and equipments used with the help of process diagrams wherever necessary. This major content of this book are confectionery ingredients, flavour, gelatinizing agents, gums, glazes, waxes, traditional Indian confections, manufacturing processes and formulations of confections, nutritive value of confectionery products. This book also describes about the science and technology of chocolate and confectionery, packaging of confectionery products, quality control, future confectionery industry etc. Apart from these it also contains details of cooking techniques, formulae, processes. The incorporation of flavours and essences, permitted colours used quality control aspects along with sources of plant, machinery and raw material. This book is an invaluable resource for research centers, professionals, entrepreneurs and end users in academic and industry working on the subject.
Baking, referred to as the oldest form of cooking, is used for producing everyday products like bread, cakes, pastries, pies, cookies, and donuts. These products are prepared using various ingredients like grain-based flour, water and leavening agents. They are considered fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and are consumed daily. Owing to their palatability, appearance and easily digestible nature, they are highly preferred for both formal and informal occasions. Nowadays, most traditional baking methods have been replaced by modern machines. This shift has enabled manufacturers to introduce innovative bakery products with different ingredients, flavors, shapes and sizes. The book is invaluable reading for those starting their own baking business or any baker looking to improve their existing business in order to increase profits.

The market potential is high particularly in the growing markets of Asia and South America; whereby, client demand is increasing for ready to eat bakery products, as a results of the influence of Western culture and additionally for its convenience. The book covers various aspects related to different bakery products with their manufacturing process and also provides contact details of raw material, plant and machinery suppliers with equipment photographs and their technical specifications. It provides a thorough understanding of the many new developments shaping the industry and offers detailed technical coverage of the manufacturing processes of bakery products. Food Mixer, Cookie Extruder, Rotary Oven, Biscuit Sandwiching Machine, Tunnel Gas Oven, Flour Mixer, Cookies Rotary Moulder, Bun Divider Moulder, Planetary Mixer, Spiral Mixer, Pillow Packing Machine, Oil Spray Machine are the various equipments described in the book with their photographs and technical specifications. A total guide to manufacturing and entrepreneurial success in one of today's most baking industry. This book is one-stop guide to one of the fastest growing sectors of the bakery industry, where opportunities abound for manufacturers, retailers, and entrepreneurs. This is the only complete handbook on the commercial production of bakery products. It serves up a feast of how-to information, from concept to purchasing equipment.
The authors had five objectives in preparing this book: (i) to bring together relevant information on many raw materials used in the manufacture of sweets and chocolate; (ii) to describe the principles involved and to relate them to production with maximum economy but maintaining high quality; (iii) to describe both traditional and modern production processes, in par ticular those continuous methods which are finding increasing application; (iv) to give basic recipes and methods, set out in a form for easy reference, for producing a large variety of sweets, and capable of easy modification to suit the raw materials and plant available; (v) to explain the elementary calculations most likely to be required. The various check lists and charts, showing the more likely faults and how to eliminate them, reflect the fact that art still plays no small part in this industry. To help users all over the world, whatever units they employ, most for mulations are given in parts by weight, but tables of conversion factors are provided at the end of the book. There also will be found a collection of other general reference data in tabular form; while the Glossary explains a number of technical terms, many of them peculiar to the industry.
