FUNDAMENTALS OF FOOD TECHNOLOGY (1+1)

Toasting

• The term toasting is used to describe a process by which bread slices are kept under the grill or between the two heated elements to brown from both sides of the bread at the same time.
  

• This can be adjusted to give the required degree of brownness through temperature control.

Advantages

1. Quick method of cooking.
2. Less or no fat is required.
3. Flavour is improved.

Disadvantage

1. Constant attention is required to prevent charring.
2. Reduce protein quality due to browning and loss of lysine
