Even though the model does not account for all the intricacies of bread baking, this example shows the power of mathematical modeling to enhance our understanding of food processes – driving us deeply into fundamental science – to explain how different phenomena such as fluid flow, heat and mass transfer inextricably collude during processing to deliver a bread characterized by a golden brown crust, fine porous structure, and pleasant aroma (Cauvain, 2012) that satisfies consumer expectations.
