Compound Interest | Chemistry infographics @compoundchem.com · 17/11/2025
On #NationalHomeMadeBreadDay, here’s the chemistry behind baking the perfect loaf: www.compoundchem.com/2016/01/13/b... 🧪 #ChemSky
Infographic titled “The chemistry of baking bread,” explaining how four main ingredients—flour, water, yeast, and salt—interact during the steps of mixing, kneading, fermenting, and baking. On the left is an image of sliced baguettes.
Sections:
Flour, water, and salt: Shows proteins glutenin and gliadin forming gluten when mixed with water. Notes that kneading strengthens the viscoelastic gluten network that traps gas. Explains flour’s protein content, how water hydrates proteins, and how salt adds flavor, slows fermentation, strengthens gluten, and improves elasticity.
Starch and sugar: Illustrates starch as long chains of sugar molecules. Enzymes in flour convert starch to maltose, and yeast converts sugars like glucose for fermentation. Explains that sugar contributes to browning and flavor.
Yeast and fermentation: Shows yeast converting glucose into carbon dioxide (which makes dough rise) and ethanol (which evaporates during baking). Describes yeast as single-celled fungi producing gas bubbles that expand the dough; kneading distributes bubbles. Includes sourdough information showing a 100:1 ratio of bacteria to yeast and the role of lactic acid in flavor.
Other ingredients: Includes fats (which tenderize dough and stabilize gas bubbles), baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), baking powder (sodium bicarbonate plus cream of tartar), ascorbic acid (strengthens gluten), and xanthan gum (used in gluten-free breads).

Re-upping these book recommendations. If you haven't read them, you should. They have helped me answer a lot of the "how did we get here" questions in the current times we are experiencing. These are both banned books,which means you should absolutely read them.

We’re focused on feeding our kids. Investing in our schools. Making sure child care is affordable. Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

''“Business!” cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. “Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!” --Dickens

Louisiana forbids public health workers from promoting COVID, flu and mpox shots
An NPR investigation found Louisiana health officials told staff to stop promoting vaccines for COVID, flu and mpox, holding flu shot events or otherwise encouraging the public to get those vaccines.

I’m reading more “takes” about how we got here. And they all begin and end with Trump and myopically refuse to see what’s right in front of us. Oh, America. We may be fully lost, but we need to face why. So, I’m reposting my take. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...
