Hi,


Just finish reading my baking science notes about vitamin C and I got these :

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
It has been extablished from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature. This is because ascorbic acid catalyses the gluten crosslinking reactions to form a more extensible, elastic, strong network.

And it serves as preservative.
I didn't find anything about vit C gives a boost to fermentation :?

Thanks Peterch.
interesting.

peterch,

Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate it :celebrate:

I didn't save the web sites that I had surfed on Vit C 'cept this. Its under the heading entitled Ingredients.
