Using the same recipe, compare the amount of white sugar to the amount of total sugars used in the recipe. Explain how the value of the ratio can be seen in the equation. Explain how the value of the ratio can be seen in the table. Now I’d like to mix some preferments with different percents and monitor them, to have data on the sugar percent that works best, as well as on if it makes a difference in a preferment. Write an equation that shows the relationship of the amount of white sugar to the amount of brown sugar. If your preferment is sitting overnight, having extra sugar might not be as much of an issue as it is in a dough, where you want it to rise in a few hours. In eight months, the price of sugar, a commodity used daily by all Filipino households, has almost doubled in price. The mixture with the most sugar starts very slowly, but eventually it begins to rise and then overflows just like the others. In the blink of an eye, the retail price of refined sugar has skyrocketed from P55P60 per kilo early this year to P100-P115 per kilo currently, depending on where you live in the country. I use lots of yeast to make it run quickly (and dramatically), so I can’t say it’s equivalent to a preferment with only a little yeast, but it still seems illustrative. Blood sugar chart shows the fasting and post prandial values for a normal person, for a person with early and established diabetes. C 12 H 22 O 11 (sugar) + H 2 SO 4 (sulfuric acid) 12 C ( carbon) + 11 H 2 O (water) + mixture water and acid. The dehydration reaction is a type of elimination reaction. I do a demo in class with three containers with equal flour/yeast/water but differing amounts of sugar. Sugar is a carbohydrate, so when you remove the water from the molecule, you're basically left with elemental carbon. If the 3% IS baker’s percent, maybe it assumes a “normal” bread recipe (with about 60-70% water and 1% yeast).Īnother thing to consider is that the yeast might eventually “catch up” in a sugary mixture. What’s worrying me is that if the “players” in the crenation scenario are yeast, water, and sugar, it seems as if those relative amounts would be more important than the sugar:flour ratio. I wanted to re-read the reference, though, to make sure, but I’m afraid I cannot find my copy at the moment, and I don’t have access online. I always thought the 3% referred to a baker’s percent (i.e., 3% sugar relative to 100% flour).
