Baking yeast is a type of microbial fermentation agent used in the production of fermented foods such as bread, steamed buns, and pastries. Its core function is to ferment within dough, producing gas that causes the dough to expand, thereby forming a soft and porous internal structure. It is one of the most fundamental and critical raw materials in modern baking industry.
In terms of product form, baking yeast is mainly divided into two categories: fresh yeast and dry yeast. Fresh yeast has a relatively high moisture content and is typically presented in compressed blocks or paste form. It has strong activity and a fast fermentation start but requires refrigeration and has a short shelf life, making it more suitable for professional bakeries and continuous industrial production. Dry yeast, on the other hand, is produced through dehydration into granular form. It offers greater stability, a longer shelf life, and easier transportation, making it the most widely used form in both home baking and industrial applications.
