The quality of bakery products depends on properties of flour, water, and yeast. The most important factor in is quantity and quality of gluten, which depends on the gas-holding capacity of dough, and porosity, elasticity, and the volume of baked bread. The search for opportunities to improve quality of bakery products by affecting other components of dough, one of which is water is a relevant issue. Quantity and quality of water depend on the properties of dough and its products. Water is a solvent regulating intensity of enzymatic processes, both in yeast and in dough. Researchers and manufacturers expose water to various influences: degassing, heat treatment, ionization, sound processing and ultrasound. In recent years, the activation of natural water by electromagnetic fields has attracted attention of many researchers. The article presents a machine for electromagnetic treatment (EMF) of food solutions, in particular water used in baking. Due to some technical solutions, it was possible to reduce the heating temperature of water below 320C, which is mandatory for kneading the dough. It can eliminate the ingress of toxic electrolysis products into the water. The machine can be easily assembled, disassembled and washed. It has an active component of power below similar devices used in heat power engineering. The machine can be used both in laboratory conditions and in industrial production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
