Which of the following fungi is utilized in the baking industry?
Correct answer: B. Yeast
- A. Mushrooms
- B. Yeast
- C. Bread mold
- D. Penicillium
- E. Penicillium Neomycin
Explanation
Yeast is the correct answer because it is used extensively in the baking industry for bread-making. It ferments sugars in the dough, producing carbon dioxide gas that causes the dough to rise. This process imparts a light and airy texture to the bread. Other options, such as mushrooms, bread mold, and Penicillium, are not involved in baking: mushrooms are culinary ingredients, bread mold is a spoilage organism, and Penicillium is known for antibiotic production and cheese fermentation, not baking.
