    UNIT STANDARD NOTES 
    Legislations:
  • Occupational Health and Safety Act No. 85 of 1993.
  • Health Act, No 63 of 1977.

    Definition of terms:

    Bulk fermentation:
  • The time that elapses from the completion of dough mixing until the dough is ripe and ready for dividing.

    Craft bakery:
  • A bakery where the products produced are made using mainly hand craft skills with or without the use of equipment.

    Composition:
  • The individual parts; chemical or microbiological that make up the whole of the food ingredient.

    Dividing:
  • Dough is cut and scaled to required weight.

    Dough fermentation:
  • The process involving micro-organisms converting sugar into carbon dioxide gas that aerates the dough.

    Food safety practices and procedures:
  • Refer to good manufacturing practices, monitoring critical control points, HACCP`s, practices against food contamination and personal hygiene.

    Final proof:
  • Refers to the period whereby the already fermented dough, produces gas to give the correct shape and volume before baking.

    Intermediate-proof:
  • Time period in the middle of the bread process, after rounding where the dough rests to allow for ease of final mould.

    Protective clothing/gear:
  • Refers to clothing that safeguards the person and the product.

    Rounding:
  • Refers to degassing and shaping the dough piece into a round ball ready for inter-mediate proof.

    No- time dough process:
  • Dough which has no bulk fermentation time and requires the use of ascorbic acid and mechanical action to achieve sufficient dough development.

    Standard operating procedures:
  • Refer to company procedures, prescribed procedures from the manufacturer, personal and food safety procedures, good manufacturing practices, best practices, applicable legislation, time frames, recipes and specifications.

    Working Off:
  • The process of dividing, rounding, resting and final moulding.
