← ScienceWhich consequence results when disulfide bridges weaken within gluten?
A)Dough loses its viscoelasticity✓
B)Fermentation rate rapidly accelerates
C)Maillard reaction products significantly increase
D)Starch retrogradation fully prevents proofing
💡 Explanation
The dough loses elasticity because weakened disulfide bonds disrupt the cross-linking responsible for its structure; this alters the gluten's ability to stretch, rather than affecting fermentation or starches or browning, therefore dough loses its mechanical properties.
