Ropiness in bread is caused by

  • A.Bacillus subtilis
  • B.Rhizopus stolonifer
  • C.Saccharomyces cerevisiae
  • D.Lactobacillus plantarum

Answer: A

Spores in the flour survive baking, because the centre of a loaf never much exceeds 100 degrees, and then germinate in the warm moist crumb to produce sticky brown threads and a fruity smell. Propionate and a slightly acid dough are the usual preventives.
