Organic compounds that contribute to bread flavor and aroma.
Term
Aleurone Layer
Definition
The outermost layer of the endosperm, generally removed with the rest of the bran prior to milling.
Term
Alveograph
Definition
aka Chopin alveograph, a testing instrument that is used to measure the relative strength and baking ability of a sample of flour.
Term

Definition
Enzymes present in cereal grains that convert starches to sugars and dextrins.
Term
