Question
A food stall owner was preparing dough for making bhaturas. He added a pinch of yeast and sugar to the dough and left it in a warm place. After a few hours, the dough had risen. There was a sour smell too.
What would have happened if the dough was kept in the refrigerator, soon after it was prepared?
Solution
At low temperatures, yeasts will not multiply and respire because of which the dough will not rise and will not become sour which is required for making bhatums.
