Flour oriental sweets include products such as cookies (shaker-churek, shaker-puri, shaker-lukum, Baku kurabye, nut or almond rolls, roll with nut filling, strudel with raisins or apples, sponge cake with cinnamon, Yerevan kyata, butter baklava , Myutakishemakhinsky, etc.).

There are recipes for flour oriental sweets and the technology for their production has been developed. The dough is prepared with both yeast and chemical leavening agents. Products are made with and without filling. When kneading the dough and filling, whole or crushed nut kernels, dried fruits, and candied fruits can be added. In addition to mass-use products, the confectionery industry produces dietary products that have increased nutritional value and preventive purposes. A special group consists of diabetic flour confectionery products for people suffering from diabetes. In their recipe, granulated sugar is replaced with sorbitol, xylitol, etc.

1.2 Technology

The production of flour confectionery products is highly mechanized. Most types of these products are produced on flow-mechanized lines. The greatest degree of mechanization has been achieved in the production of cookies, waffles, and gingerbread. The mechanization of production of such types as muffins and some types of cakes and pastries lags behind. The use in the production of flour confectionery products, along with flour and sugar, of such high-calorie and nutritious products as fat, including butter, various egg products (eggs, melange), dairy products, etc., determines the high nutritional value of these products.

Table 1.1 – Nutritional value of flour confectionery products

Preparation of raw materials

Before entering the workshop, all raw materials are freed from containers. The surface of the container is first cleaned. These operations are performed in special preparatory rooms, separated from production. All raw materials entering production are tested in the laboratory.

In the production of flour confectionery products, wheat flour is used, mainly of the highest and first grade. For some types of biscuits and gingerbread, second grade flour is used. In addition, the recipes for certain types of biscuits include wallpaper flour, and the recipes for some types of gingerbread include a mixture of wheat and rye flour. Flour, which comes into production in separate batches, the quality of which may be different (color, mass fraction and quality of gluten, etc.), is mixed in preparation for production. In this case, flour with optimal quality indicators is obtained. Before being fed into production, flour is sifted through metal sieves with cells no larger than 2 mm, where lumps of stuck together flour, burlap fibers, etc. are separated. Sifting is carried out on special sifting machines with a system of moving or stationary sieves. Sieves can perform reciprocating, rotating or vibrating motion. Flour and other bulk raw materials may contain small particles of ferromagnetic impurities, for the separation of which various types of magnetic traps are used. They are installed on inclined slopes, where flour with a layer thickness of no more than 10 mm moves uniformly at a speed of no more than 0.5 m/s. Magnets are cleaned at least once per shift. For this purpose, you can use more advanced electromagnetic separators, which have a device for continuously removing ferromagnetic particles. Soy, corn flour and starch, as well as wheat flour, must be sifted. Sometimes in production, before sifting, bulk components are mixed in the required proportions.

Sugar used directly in the dough or for making syrup is sifted through a sieve with holes no larger than 3 mm, and the resulting sugar syrups are filtered through sieves with cells no larger than 1.5 mm in diameter. A significant part of sugar in the production of flour confectionery products is ground into powder. Sugar is usually crushed using impact crushers. During long-term storage, the resulting powdered sugar cakes into hard pieces, for this reason it is used immediately after preparation.

For the production of flour confectionery products, solid fats (margarine, butter, etc.) are used. When unpacking, these fats are carefully checked for the absence of foreign objects. If there is mold or dirt on the surface, they are thoroughly cleaned. After cleaning, oil contaminated with mold on the outside can only be used in dough and subsequent baking. The consistency of fat when kneading dough affects the duration of kneading and the quality of the dough. For this reason, hard fats are first softened to a paste-like state. To do this, they are heated to a temperature close to the melting point. If solid fats are used in melted form, they are filtered through a sieve with cells with a diameter of no more than 1.5 mm.

Eggs and melange, egg powder

Eggs entering production are sorted and their quality is checked by scanning them through an ovoscope - a box inside which there is a light source, and on the top cover there is a nest for placing eggs. Before preparing the egg mass, the eggs are processed in a special four-section bath. In the first section, the eggs are soaked in warm water for 5-10 minutes, in the second section they are treated with a 0.5% solution of sodium carbonate and a 2% solution of sodium bicarbonate at a temperature of about 40 ° C for 5-10 minutes, in in the third section, eggs are disinfected in a 2% solution of bleach or 0.5% chloramine solution for 5 minutes, in the fourth section they are rinsed with clean running water for 5 minutes. Solutions in the washing bath are replaced at least 2 times per shift. Eggs processed in this way are broken using metal knives, dividing, if necessary, into white and yolk, and poured into special cups in portions of no more than five eggs. After checking for odor and absence of shell, as well as appearance, a portion of the egg mass is poured into a clean production container and filtered through a stainless steel sieve with cells no larger than 3 mm. Goose and duck eggs can only be used in dough. Metal cans with frozen melange are washed with warm water and then immersed to thaw in bathtubs filled with water at a temperature not exceeding 45 ° C for 2.5-3 hours. After this, the cans are opened and the melange is filtered through a sieve with cells with a diameter of no more than 3 mm. . If milk or water is used when kneading the dough, it is advisable to mix them with melange in a 1:1 ratio before straining. Thawed melange is used within 3-4 hours.

Egg powder is used in the form of a pre-prepared emulsion with water. The humidity of the emulsion should be 25-30%, and the temperature of the water used should not exceed 50° C.

Whole milk is filtered through a sieve with cells with a diameter of no more than 1 mm. Milk is sometimes used in production to regulate the temperature of the batch, so before adding it to the mixer it is often heated, and sometimes cooled. Condensed milk is filtered through a sieve with cells with a diameter of no more than 2 mm. If it is diluted with water before adding it to the kneader, then it is filtered in the same way as whole milk. Powdered milk is diluted in warm water with stirring or in a churning machine, and then left alone to swell. The milk thus restored is filtered through a sieve with holes no larger than 0.5 mm.

Fruit and berry raw materials

The puree is rubbed using a rubbing machine through sieves with holes with a diameter of no more than 1 mm. Podvarki and fruit and berry fillings are preheated and passed through a grinding machine with cells with a diameter of no more than 3 mm. Fresh fruits and berries are thoroughly washed and seeds removed. Peels are removed from apples, apricots, etc., to facilitate the removal of which they are immersed in boiling water for 5 seconds and then in cold water. Raisins and dried fruits are carefully sorted, twigs and foreign objects are removed, and then washed.

Walnut kernels, almonds and other oil-containing kernels

They are cleaned of foreign impurities using sorting machines or manually. To remove the shell, the nut kernels are fried and then rubbed on a metal sieve with cells with a diameter of 3-4 mm. For this purpose, the almond kernel is placed in boiling water for 1 minute, and then washed with cold water and dried at a temperature of 50-70 ° C. The pistachio kernel is freed from the shell in the same way as the almond kernel, but kept in boiling water for no more than 30 s . After removing the shell, the kernels of nuts and almonds are crushed or ground.

Spices

They are sorted out, freed from foreign impurities, and some of them - from the shells, then crushed and sifted through a sieve with cells with a diameter of no more than 2.5 mm.

Sift through a sieve with cells of 2-2.5 mm, and then washed with water on a sieve with cells with a diameter of 0.5 mm.

Roasted ground coffee

Sift through a sieve with a cell diameter of no more than 1.5 mm.

Cocoa products

Cocoa powder is sifted through a sieve with cells with a diameter of 1-1.5 mm. The chocolate glaze is heated in a tempering machine to a temperature of 33-34°C, cocoa butter is added and mixed, then, while heated, filtered through a sieve with holes no larger than 2 mm.

Leavening agents

They use sodium bicarbonate and ammonium carbonate and salt. If necessary, grind and sift through a sieve with cells no larger than 2 mm. If used as a solution in water, then prepare a solution of the following concentration: per 100 g of water, sodium bicarbonate 10 g, ammonium carbonate 25 g, and salt 35 g. For ammonium carbonate, use water at a temperature not exceeding 25 ° C. The solutions are filtered through a sieve with cells no more than 0.5 mm.

1.3 Features of assessing the quality of flour confectionery products.

The quality of confectionery products directly depends on their ingredients and the quality of the raw materials. In the modern technology industry, there are a lot of substitutes that make the final product cheaper or less nutritious. Sometimes the quality suffers.

When evaluating a product, the following requirements for the quality of confectionery products are taken into account: hygienic standards and consumer properties. The last indicator depends on the type of product, determined by its technical regulations, technical specifications or GOST. Simply put, the appearance, shape, texture, taste and smell must correspond to how the manufacturer intended them to be.

There should be no foreign ingredients on the surface or inside, the shape should be correct, not wrinkled, not broken. Candies must be in individual, undamaged packaging and of the same shape. There should be no sticky or melted product, broken or out of shape. Often it is the incorrect storage of confectionery products that leads to the loss of their attractive consumer properties.

No less important are such hygienic requirements for the quality of confectionery products as their safety indicators. The packaging must contain data on testing for toxic elements, radionuclides, pesticides and microbiological indicators (food infections, mold, yeast).

It is the microbiological quality of confectionery products that determines the degree of their safety for humans and the elimination of the risk of poisoning and illness after consumption.

In addition to safety for humans, microbiological indicators determine the degree of freshness and shelf life, as well as the correct storage of confectionery products.

Product quality is a set of properties that determine suitability and ability to satisfy certain needs in accordance with its intended purpose. In trade practice, product quality means compliance with all requirements of regulatory technical documentation.

The quality of finished products is determined in laboratories according to current GOSTs and in accordance with the physical and chemical indicators given in the technical specifications for flour confectionery products. As a rule, if products contain sugar and fat, these indicators are analyzed. Products prepared using chemical leavening agents are checked for the presence of alkali - the alkali content should not exceed 2%. The humidity of products also characterizes their quality. Determination of ash insoluble in 10% hydrochloric acid allows one to judge the presence of foreign impurities, in particular sand, in products.

In cream pies and cakes, moisture content is determined. In muffins, tongues, shortbreads, semi-finished products - the content of dry matter and fat. And there are a lot of raisins in the cupcakes. In horns, homemade pies with poppy seeds, jam, puff pastry with marzipan, juices with cottage cheese, sponge cake with jam - the content of dry matter, sugar, fat. To prevent spoilage and reduce weight loss, optimal storage conditions must be created for each product. This is achieved by using simple storage facilities, as well as piles, trenches, refrigerators, warehouses, and elevators. For storing confectionery products, heated or unheated warehouses are used. The main requirement is to avoid temperature and humidity changes during storage. Containers and packaging materials serve to protect goods from damage, spoilage, weight loss, and changes in taste, smell, and color. It creates convenience during transportation, acceptance, storage and sale. Packaging helps create the necessary sanitary conditions and sales. Packaging helps create the necessary sanitary conditions, prevent contamination of products, contamination with microflora, and pest damage.

The quality of flour confectionery products is assessed by shape, surface condition, fracture appearance, color, taste, smell and physical and chemical indicators. Not allowed for sale cookies, gingerbread and waffles deformed, burnt, damp, with a greasy, rancid taste and smell, foreign inclusions, damp, infested with pests; pastries and cakes – fermented, sour, moldy, rancid, affected by microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus (causes severe food poisoning). Cookies, gingerbreads, waffles should be stored at a temperature no higher than 18C and a relative humidity of no more than 75%. Guaranteed shelf life, depending on the type of product and packaging, varies: for cookies - from 15 days (contains more than 20% fat) to 3 months - long; for gingerbread - from 10 (raw, mint), up to 45 days - custard. For biscuits - from 21 days (dietary, high-fat, weighed), up to 6 months - simple, weighed; for crackers – from 1 month (with vegetable oil), up to 6 months – with fillers; for waffles from 15 days (with fat filling, up to 3 months (without filling).
Pastries and cakes, received in the retail trade network, must be sold on the day of receipt. Cakes and pastries must have the correct shape, be free of dents and damage to the finish. The dough is well baked, without traces of unkneading, the layer is uniform, the edge is even. The taste and smell are pure, characteristic, without foreign tastes and odors. The consistency and color of finished products, characteristic of each type of semi-finished product and finishing material. In pastries and pies, the content of fat, sugar, and moisture is normalized in accordance with the recipes; in products with cream - microbiological indicators. Cakes and pastries are produced by the piece, small cakes in dessert and other sets - by weight. Cakes and pastries with cream and fruit finishings are stored at temperatures from 0 to 6 ° C in refrigerators, and products without finishing and waffles with praline and fat fillings are stored at temperatures up to 18 ° C and a relative air humidity of 70 - 75%. Guaranteed shelf life of products is established from the time of manufacture: with custard, with whipped cream - 6 hours; with butter cream, including Potato cake - 36 hours; with butter cream without refrigeration – 12 hours; without cream finishing, with protein cream or fruit finishing – 72 hours; chocolate-wafer, waffle with praline and fatty finishing semi-finished products – 30 days; with butter cream using preservatives – 120 hours; with butter cream using a preservative without refrigeration (at temperatures up to 20°C) – 36 hours.

When examining the quality of rolls, the following indicators are determined. The shape must correspond to the name, with an even edge. The surface is sprinkled or finished according to the recipe; the filling should not be on the surface and protrude beyond the edges of the roll; no signs of burning. Taste and smell are characteristic, pronounced, without foreign tastes.

Rolls should be stored at a temperature of 6-18C (without sudden fluctuations) and a relative humidity of 70-75%. The shelf life of rolls from the time of production is set to no more than: with cream - 36 hours; with cottage cheese – 24 hours; with fruit filling, poppy seeds and confectionery fat filling, piece wrapped - 7 days, weight - 5 days.

Keep special purpose confectionery products preferably at a temperature of about 0°C, which allows for better preservation of biologically active substances. On boxes and packs of diabetic products the following is additionally indicated: content in grams per 100g of product: xylitol, sorbitol, fat, total sugar;

Confectionery products are high-calorie and easily digestible food products with a high sugar content, characterized by a pleasant taste and aroma.

The following types of products are used as the main raw materials for the preparation of confectionery products: flour, sugar, honey, fruits and berries, milk and cream, fats, eggs, yeast, starch, cocoa, nuts, food acids, gelling agents, flavoring and aromatic additives, baking powder, food coloring.

Flour confectionery products usually contain a lot of sugar and fat. Therefore, they are produced using chemical disintegrants, which contribute to the formation of a porous structure and increase in volume.

1.4 Assortment of flour confectionery products

The range of flour confectionery products is very diverse and differs in recipe, shape, finish and taste.
