What is Instant Dry Yeast?
Instant dry yeast is a dry yeast product commonly used in baking. This yeast has been activated and freeze-dried so it can be added directly to flour without pre-activation. Instant dry yeast is easier to use because it can be mixed directly with flour, eliminating the step of activating the yeast, which makes baking more convenient.
Production Process:
1. Cultivate yeast: Select highly active yeast strains for cultivation and propagation.
2. Fermentation: Let the yeast ferment under suitable temperature and humidity conditions to increase the number.
3. Activation: Treat yeast to enhance its fermentation capacity and stability.
4. Freeze-drying: Freeze-dry the activated yeast to remove moisture and maintain activity.
Instructions:
Instant dry yeast can be added directly to flour without pre-activation. This convenient method of use makes baking easier and more efficient.
Storage Method:
To maintain its activity, instant dry yeast usually needs to be stored in a dry, cool place and protected from exposure to air or moisture.
