the luxurious microcabin the brave is a tough cabin in many ways . the interior is in steampunk and the cabin leans down the mountain 7 meters above the ground . inside is the ceiling dressed with midnight choir which is a black panel roof with diamond glitter and a steel bed so high that you have to climb to get up .
choose between the charming microcabin the crown or the luxurious steampunk - inspired cabin the brave . no matter which of the cabins you choose , you will have a great time in beautiful natural surroundings . - or bring some friends and order both ? the cabins are located a few minutes ' walk from each other . did you know that both our cabins are award winning .
thanks for the tips , guys . i ' ll have to give that a go . the part i got stuck in the pc microcabin mystery house was on the title screen where it asks if i want color ( y / n ) and it doesn ' t seem to respond to what i press , regardless of whether the keyboard is in english or japanese mode .
fascinating entry . . . anyway , microcabin . now there ' s a company that wants a detailed feature written on it . they did the 3do rpgs lucienne ' s quest ( excellent game ) and guardian war , along with cyberpunk rpg illusion city for the msx and sega cd . the msx one was fan - translated , but it ' s a pain to get running correctly in turbo mode . they also did the xak rpgs ( pretty awesome , xak 3 is quite disturbing and had a good fan - translation ) , plus the princess maker games , which i ' ve not played .
interesting read . never heard about mystery house before , even though i ' m familiar with sierra and microcabin and many of their games . thanks for sharing this with us . as for why you can ' t get msx mystery house games working , you ' re not having enough basic memory to run them ( yup , they ' re basic games ) . to free more basic memory , just boot the msx with the ctrl or shift key . it ' s that simple . : ) what those keys do exactly , you ask ? they disable disk drives ( diskrom ) . the ctrl key disables only the second drive and the shift key disables both . usually booting with the ctrl key is enough for most programs that won ' t run due to insufficient memory , but mystery house ii is one of those rare exceptions that requires to have both drives disabled .

a couple of years a friend of mine , now a naked and afraid superstar , sang a song that has been in my head ever since . while the verse has disappeared into the nothingness of my mind , the chorus , which echos “buckets of holy shit” has stuck around because i , like many others have found the answer to one of our modern environmental calamities : what to do with human waste .
i am admittedly victimized by compassion fatigue - where there are too many environmental problems with too few answers , analysis paralysis - where there are too many problems with too much data to figure out just what the hell is going on , and also an acute fear of hypocrisy - where our daily lives are too intertwined with the same systems we are trying to escape from , kinda like driving a car to a tar sands or taconite mine protest . i think i am not alone in this either . too many people are aware of the state of the global ecosystem ( no conspiracy or political agenda implied ) for there not to be more change happening , which is why i like pooping in a bucket .
. until i read the hh i was still living in the dark ages of flush toilets and catholes , septic systems and plungers . now , i have read my share of books that have had profound effects on how i live and view life itself , thanks hunter s , ed a and dan q , but the hh was the first time i read a how - to guide that not only provided down to earth and practical ideas and solutions to a common problem but also fundamentally and permanently changed the way i live on a daily basis . overnight it changed me from using fresh , clean drinking water as a mode of transportation for my waste ( not to mention the resources consumed in actually
with the sewage ) to composting all of my deposits in a safe , clean and ecologically responsible way .
another story . last year i was out in montana having a discussion about the sewage troubles of a local small town ( population 400 or so ) . the sewage system was out of date of falling apart resulting in leakage of raw sewage into the valley’s river which i dearly love to fish in . i said if the town were to give me $ 1000 and the cooperation of the folks who live there , overnight i could solve that problem forever , with almost zero yearly monetary investment , zero infrastructure and with zero negative environmental impact . now , how many times these days do you get to say that to an environmental problem ! that is the beauty of composting your human ( and kitchen ) waste : it is a foolproof , inexpensive , environmentally responsible solution to an expensive , accident prone and environmentally sketchy problem ( modern waste treatment and disposal systems ) .
i have personally composted my own human waste off and on for over 6 years and have a good friend who has done so for almost 15 , and to date neither of us have had and problems , ill effects or issues with humanure composting other than the feeling of waste when we are forced to use flush toilets . we have also composted all of the human waste produced at our field school , which has had hundreds of students ( up to 16 at a time for 9 weeks ) all using a composting toilet system with zero , zilch , zippo problems .
bottom line is that the low tech solution , buckets and a compost pile , just flat - out works . a great example of the cleanliness and non - offensiveness of a humanure pile occurred a bunch of years back when we had a group of middle school students come to the camp for a day long nature awareness program . around lunch time the students dispersed to eat their bag lunches around the field school . well , a group of what i figured were the “popular” girls decided to eat their lunch while leaning against a fenced pile a hay , except it wasn’t just hay in the that there pile . the cool thing : these preppy - esqu girls didn’t smell a thing coming from a pile of human shit and straw nearly the size of a vw beetle . still wanna talk about how gross a humanure pile is ?
in this day and age where we are bombarded by environmental problems and catastrophes , it is a huge breath of fresh air finding a solution with no strings attached . no hypocrisy , no guilt , no expense . all that you are left with is a pocket of money you saved not having to pump out your holding tank and a pile of healthy , clean , and reusable compost ready for the garden . do your environmental conscience a favor , read the humanure handbook and stop pooping in our drinking water .
well , it came right down to the wire , but with 2 days to spare before the wagons headed west i buttoned up the northwoods micro cabin project…for now . with timely help from an old friend ( who happens to be a skilled home builder ) we got the roof completed in two long days . the two roof extensions , outriggers as we called them , that allowed for a 2′ overhang on the sides of the house took longer than i had planned , and while none of the work to install them was tricky , when you are driving without a road map you can’t keep the pedal on the floor without risking ending up in the ditch . the only trick was raising the ripped 2x4x20 and connecting them to the short braces that were run across two roof rafters to increase the strength of the outrigger .
i realized , as we started to sheet the roof that any and all mistakes reveal themselves in the roof . what should ( could ) have been a fairly straightforward process of sheeting the roof in 4×8 1 / 2″ osb became a full days work due to the fact the whole house is racked about a 1 / 2″ . being a first time home builder , i feel pretty good about that , but it did make for some extra cutting of osb to get the roof done . over the osb went tar paper and then heavy gauge unpainted steel roofing . i wanted the unpainted roof so the roof will age in appearance along with the house .
from day one my goal was to get this house watertight - windows , roof and walls done before the 1st of june . a project like this could have probably been knocked out in a week if the weather was cooperative and the build site was adjacent to a road , two factors that stretched this project out to 30 days . all in all this house took 14 days , about $ 4000 and a whole lot of head scratching / number crunching / sleepless nights / waiting out the rain / begging for friends’ help / patience to get it to this point . this fall i will side the outside , finish the interior , complete the back storage deck and hopefully get a chance to enjoy the area without a tool belt on my waist and a pocket full of drawings and to - get lists . the purpose of this blog is to help / inspire / encourage anyone who wants to build a small house of their own . on that note , please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or need ideas on your own project . paul
to be honest i have rather lost track of time , which day of the week it is or when i ate last . two days ago i received the mother load of supplies from the lumber yard including the 16 2x10x24 boards for the rafters , a stack of osb for the subroof and the metal roofing . as we watched the ease with which the crane lifted off the pile of materials , i couldn’t help but think “how come we don’t have hovercrafts yet ? ” i mean , all the sci - fi writers predicted by now we’d be living in a space age wonderland . while i don’t bemoan the lack of autonomous robots in our daily lives who i’m sure would be planning their dystopian takeover , i do , especially at time like this , wonder when we will start getting some of the predicted modern marvels . i guess we do have communication devices that we can wear on our wrists and the knowledge of the universe is only a click away , but some how i am left wanting more…like a hovercraft to carry in this load of materials .
it took a while but all the roofing made it back to the build site . the rafter boards were cut down to 22′ and each got a bird’s mouth notch at either end where they will sit in the headers . it was a chore getting them up in place , but i figured with a little brain power i could do it all myself instead of waiting for help to arrive later . it took 5 hours but i got all 13 up and nailed in ready for the sheeting .
i am now down to one week left before my deadline of the 1st of june to get the house water tight . that means the last 3 windows need to get installed , the sheeting and metal roof needs completing and the two outriggers need to be built and screwed into place . oh yeah , and the front door , the blocking between the rafters…
building a house is like climbing a mountain , if you focus too far in advance of where you are in the moment it is easy to get overwhelmed by the myriad of small steps you must take to reach your goal . to get a project completed or mountain summited you just have to keep your head down and keep putting one foot in front of the other or one nail in front of the other as the case may be . that is how i have to look at this build , not being a carpenter and working under a time crunch i am easily overloaded thinking about all the details of getting this house finished by the end of the month , but i found as long as i set daily goals and keep focused on the step in front of me i lose less sleep thinking about what needs to happen and i get more work done .
today’s the goal was to get the two triangle wall pieces on the sides done , which wouldn’t have taken as long as it did if i wasn’t a space case , something at this stage of my life i feel there is little to be done about . succinctly , i forgot to double up the 2×4 header on the side wall , which isn’t a huge deal probably but i didn’t like knowing there was a weakness to this house . i have found you have three choices when you botch a step rough framing a house :
1 . you can ignore it and hope you get the finishing layer ( drywall , siding , flooring ) up quick to cover the mistake .
2 . you can over build around the mistake thereby alleviating any weakness it may cause . this is why i have one window with 3 2×4’s framing it out instead of two .
3 . you can get angry , swear out load and tear the mistake out and start over .
i’m not sure which is better , i guess it is situation dependent and mood dependent , but today i chose the third option when i looked at my nice finished wall with only a single 2×4 header . my swearing startled the dog as i tore into the wall like an angry beaver , splitting studs and flinging bent nails . in the end i got the wall put back together and now i can’t wait to cover it up to hide the hammer depressions and other tool scars that mar the studs in the wall . undertaking a project like this alone is polarizing to your mood , if you mess up there only you to blame but when things go well you get to bask in the glory of a job well done . so that is where we are now , basking in a house that has all four walls and is ready for a roof .
i’m afraid to say i’ve had no deep thoughts today , so in turn today’s blog post will be a tad dry , but there are some techy details i haven’t included in this record yet that may prove useful should anyone chose to build a similar house . i drew up the plans for this house based on local building codes , less than 200 sq . ft . does not require a building permit as long as the building is “uninhabitable” which official makes this project a shed / workshop , both of which are acceptable used for this building . you should look into your local building codes before starting as the square footage may be different . i would be all in favor of going the permit route , it just didn’t seem necessary for me since i was ok with a small building , but it may be something worth thinking about for you as then you wouldn’t be bound by any superficial size limits . there isn’t a proportional relationship between size and cost , meaning it wouldn’t cost twice as much to make a house twice as large .
two online resources were helpful to me . first was a forum thread from a guy who built a similar sized building : urltoken
well , i couldn’t wait for the blueprints to get here , so buy the time they arrived today all four walls were up . that said , it may not be a bad idea to get good plans ahead of time , unless you’re like me and you prefer to just wing it . just ask yourself : can you follow a recipe in the kitchen ? if yes , get the blueprints and paint by numbers , if no don’t waste your time or money and be prepared to waste a few 2×4’s and do the occasional problem solving ( with a 10 pound sledge hammer ) .
so far this project is around $ 2300 and i expect that it will close to $ 4000 by the time the walls are sheeted and the roof is finished . there are of course cheaper ways to build a house like this , maybe you could score some used lumber or perhaps you live somewhere dry where you can get away with not using treated lumber . also , i am over building this house so that i will be sure it can hold up a heavy snow load , which , if you live somewhere that doesn’t get heavy snow would save you some money . either way , if you do the labor yourself your going to get a great building for a low cost . i estimate that finished this project will come in around $ 5000 ( which i’m sure isn’t going to happen , but better be optomisitc ) .
big day on the cabin when the tall south wall was grunted up into place . up until now there was just the lower north wall up , and let me tell ya , one wall doesn’t really inspire the idea of a house , more like a big fence . with the north wall up it definitely is looking more house - like , and even though i knew how tall the wall was as i was building it flat on the deck , it wasn’t until you could take a step back that the size made it’s impression . i can honestly say i have never built something so tall , and in my own way , i felt like i really achieved something , who knew all it would take was a stick framed 14 foot wall to elicit such feelings of accomplishment ?
south wall in the process of being framed . close inspection of the windows closest will reveal a mistake , i mean an extra reinforced window frame .
there was a moment today as i was framing in the windows that i started to rue the day i decided to buy 10 windows for this cabin , as each one needs to be boxed in which takes time and materials . but i think the end result will more than offset the work and money in light and heat .
as i expected , there were a few bone head mistakes throughout the day of framing . lucking i figured out that instead of taking apart the mistake you can usually just overload the botched area with reinforcing studs ( if anyone asks why one of your windows is framed by triple 2×4’s just say you were concerned about load carrying capacity or something like that ) . so the wall has a dozen extra linear feet of board , it’s just stronger for my mistakes .
the mistakes stem from the fact that even though i have built many things in my life and consider myself to be a fair woodworker and craftsman , i never had any training in carpentry . the reason i say this is that i believe anyone with the proper mindset and a helpful neighbor or two and tackle this size and style project . if you are thinking about building a micro house , maybe start with a chicken coop ( or a bird house if your building skills begin and end with gingerbread houses ) to get your feet wet and to get familiar with the tools and products you’ll be using in your house . or you could do what i did and just jump in feet first knowing full well that there will be moments of utter dismay from time to time when you realize you’re learning curve will result in doing things twice .
sourcing materials for a house can seem to be as much as a challenge as building the dern thing , assuming you are working on a budget . for me , i planned on spending $ 3500 for this build , which is for just the rough building , not any finish work like flooring or exterior siding . so any place i can find used materials to save a few bucks is a good thing considering all the tools i have needed to buy which didn’t factor into the original estimate . any time you are building you should make the effort to find used materials as , having worked briefly in the building industry , i know there is a tremendous amount of extra materials that can be repurposed directly from the builders or through stores like the habitat for humanity restores which are amazing places full of very nice stuff .
over the last few days i have been busy collecting windows both up here and also down in madison . i found 8 casement windows of varying quality for around $ 200 from two different building supply resale stores . they are all in good shape and for this project will be perfect . i have been taking some grief lately for the amount of windows in the this house , 8 and a full glass front door , but as it will make the house brighter ( no electricity for lighting ) and also make the most of any passive solar heat , the windows are well worth the extra cost and work to frame them out .
the # 10 dutch oven i bought earlier this year is coming in handy now as i don’t have to cook dinner . as long as the sun is out i have been busy on the house , so any time i can save is important . i found a great recipe for low tech chili the other day before i left to go down state to see some family and get my new front door framed out .
cook at 350 ( 20 or so coals , 1 / 3 under dutch over , 2 / 3 on top ) for 45 minutes .

hey , adverts can be pretty annoying , right ? i know how it is ; i don ' t like it when i ' m browsing a site and i accidentally trigger an awful flash ad where a big , freakish iphone starts singing at me . that ' s why here on the let ' s play archive we ' ll only ever serve up nice banners that behave properly .

 ) is not , in fact , a 1985 game , nor was it published by square enix . the game first appeared in 1983 on the pc - 6001 . it wasnt technically horiis first game but for all intents and purposes it can be considered that . he did both the writing and the programming on it . the game was published by enix , where horii would later invent the modern jrpg formula with dragon quest , and was the first of horiis trilogy of mysteries , followed by
. the former also got a port to the famicom a couple of years later , but the third remains available only on early japanese computers and cellphones .
the original version of portopia featured a parser interface , which was popular in japanese adventure games at the time . heavily influenced by scott adams and the early works of sierra on - line , it featured a large image covering most of the screen with a couple lines of text beneath it and a two word parser . ill give its parser one thing , though - it uses the japanese word order and asks for the commands in a noun verb pattern . many other japanese games of the era kept the english verb noun input which breaks any resemblance to actual japanese grammar .
) , but definitely the one that influenced others to follow . parsers were gone from japanese adventures within a year .
the games famicom port was handled by chunsoft ( who will later reimagine the japanese adventure game format with its sound novel series ) . they took the menu system introduced by
and put it to use in the earlier game , and so demonstrated how an adventure game could even be playable on a home console .
was the first famicom adventure game , but it certainly wasnt the last  nintendo itself followed with a few odd titles in later years .
boss ! i am your subordinate , yasuhiko mano . please call me yasu .
kouzou did not show up at the company , so she came by to check on him this morning and found him dead .
so i asked mr . komiya , the caretaker , to come over and he knocked down the door .
mr . komiya seemed to notice as well , and after hastily checking the window he said , the room was locked from the inside so it must be suicide .
mr . komiya told us the same story , so it doesnt look like shes lying .
which brings us to the game , which starts more or less the same way . some things seemed to have changed between versions , such as giving kouzous companys a name and komiyas profession ( i checked the japanese famicom version to make sure its not a translation issue ) . im not sure why . youll also notice this version of the game has the entire text in katakana , which makes it very taxing to read . theres a reason for that  early japanese computers implemented language the same way many other countries around the world did - by replacing some of the extended ascii character set in the computers rom ( usually the characters used to draw ascii tables ) with localised characters . theres space for only one of the japanese syllabaries in there , and katakana was chosen over hiragana . its square characters are much easier to render in low resolution , after all .
the famicom version adds hiragana to the mix , and while theres still no kanji to be found it makes the game much easier to read through .
one final thing - the pc - 6001 adventure game graphics of the era were not bitmaps , but were displayed with a series of drawing commands . fans of american adventure games from the era will recognize the technique . the computer was slow  a scene took about 20 seconds to render  and so , since flood fills were the slowest of the drawing commands , the game offers an option to sacrifice color for speed . this is what it looks like :

i ' ve been playing sierra ' s laura bow games to cover for the site , and i figured i should probably cover mystery house , sierra ' s very first game , and the first text adventure game to implement graphics . during my searches , i found a
mystery house
for the msx . . . as well as a
mystery house ii
. whoa . was there a secret sequel or something only in japan ?
well , not quite . . . and i ' m still a bit sketchy on the story , but i ' ve been trying to interpret this based off the
starcraft was a good company in the japanese pc scene during ' 80s . they ported and localized many english games ( such as the might and magic series , ssi ' s phantasie series , and dragon wars ) , and generally did a pretty solid job . they also developed some original games , too , like starfire for the pc98 .
the pc88 version of mystery house ( micro cabin ) seems to work fine in x88000 . the graphics have been improved , and there ' s a color option .
just checked . it ' s one of those text adventure games that ' s strict about whether or not you ' ve caps lock enabled / disabled . just enable the caps lock and you ' re good to go . : - )
man that illusion city . that had some great music . not to mention xak on the x68k . is there anything written online in english about xak 3 ?

sourdough is traditionally made using a
starter
, where wheat and water ferment to create a culture that gives the sour taste . this requires specific temperatures to survive so commercial bakeries often replace it with dried powdered yeast , which adds colour and smell as well as the sour taste but is not considered authentic by connoisseurs . there is no regulation defining sourdough , so the only way to know if it is authentic is to ask the baker .

this review is the subjective opinion of a tripadvisor member and not of tripadvisor llc .
this retro restaurant brings you back in time . it has a longstanding history starting in the 30 ' s of the previous century . they serve delicious nasi goreng . excellent price / quality . it was nice to have been there .
it may be the oldest bakery shop but the cakes are not that fantastic . you could get much better cakes elsewhere .
this was my favorite restaurant growing up , the carmen ice cream and ox - tongue steak is to die for . but the service is really poor ! especially the female staffs who are in charge at the bakery section , they appear to be lazy and unfriendly towards the customer . once i specifically put in an order for a cake to be decorated to be picked up at 11 am the next day , but when i arrived , the cake hasn ' t been prepared , and when i asked to see the cake to make sure everything is okay , the rude female staff just threw a tantrum and chucked the box unpleasantly . such a shame though , i really like the food here . if anything , just call the male waiters , they are always much nicer and attentive towards the customer .
nice place full of history ( there ' s a photo with australian troops parading in front of the restaurant after wwii ) with good food and extraordinary ambiance on saturdays . funny feeling listening international tunes in indonesian voices

once upon a time , bread was made with flour , water , salt and yeast and took between eight and 20 hours to produce . in the early 20th century , bakers experimented with various mechanised techniques to speed up bread - making , but in 1961 the chorleywood bread process changed everything . invented by uk scientists , the chorleywood method allows a loaf to go from flour to sliced and packaged in about three - and - a - half hours using high - speed mixers and the addition of extra yeast and dough - improving chemicals . now bread that is soft , springy and consistent takes much less time and costs much less to produce .
look at the ingredients on a bread label and alongside the more recognisable substances you ' ll often see a list of mysterious numbers . some of these additives are what are known as bread and dough
improvers
or
conditioners
. they often have more than one function , but generally they ' re designed to dramatically increase the rate at which the dough rises ( helping breadmakers increase production speeds and lower costs ) , improve bread texture and taste , and extend shelf life .
processing ingredients you ' ll commonly see are mineral salt 170 ( calcium carbonate ) and ascorbic acid ( food acid 300 or treatment agent 300 ) , otherwise known as vitamin c . emulsifiers ( 427e , 481 , 471 ) , vegetable gums ( 412 , 461 ) and amino acid 920 speed up dough handling , help sliced bread retain its shape and extend shelf life by reducing the crystallisation of starch that makes the bread go hard ( if you put bread in the fridge , the cold temperature increases the rate of crystallisation and the bread goes hard faster ) .
only small amounts of these additives are required – usually up to three percent of the bread – and bakers often buy them in a ready - made premix , to which they add water and yeast . most breads , whether from a factory or a small baker , are made from similar premixes – differences generally stem from baking techniques .
since 2009 , it ' s been mandatory for breads ( except organic ones ) to add iodine via iodised salt ( for thyroid health ) , as well as folic acid , a form of the b vitamin folate that helps reduce the rate of neural tube defects in infants .
while emulsifiers and other
improvers
are widely accepted as safe , preservatives are more controversial . introduced in the 1990s as a mould retardant , calcium propionate , or 282 , is the best - known preservative of public concern .
although approved by food standards australia and new zealand ( fsanz ) for use at specified levels , a furore erupted when a study by food additive activist sue dengate , published in the journal of paediatrics and child health in 2002 , showed 282 to be associated with irritability , restlessness , inattention and sleep disturbance in children .
in response to consumer concern , most breadmakers removed 282 from many of their breads , although it ' s still often used in other products such as crumpets , muffins , turkish bread and pizza bases . it ' s also widely found in wraps .
with 282 a dirty word for concerned consumers , some breadmakers get around the problem by using its close relative , propionic acid ( 280 ) , instead .
the internet is awash with warnings of the dangers of 282 and other food additives , pointing to a cumulative cocktail in the body which can lead to a host of symptoms from migraine and tiredness to rashes , gastro - intestinal upsets and depression .
propionates ( 280–283 ) are on the list of food additives that can be associated with food intolerance in the royal prince alfred hospital elimination diet . on her food intolerance network website , dengate argues that children ' s behaviour and learning is more affected than authorities will admit , citing stories from parents who noticed a behavioural improvement when 282 was removed from their child ' s diet .
but dr rob loblay , director of the allergy unit at sydney ' s rpa hospital , argues that about five percent of the general population is sensitive to one or more food additives , whether artificial or natural , and considers the push to ban additives
overblown
.
the issue is very complicated ,
says vijay jayasena , professor of food science and technology at western australia ' s curtin university .
the first thing people should know is that not all preservatives are artificial or may cause harm , and many are useful for food safety .
jayasena says most people won ' t be affected by 282 , while for others it ' s about dosage .
it ' s hard to say at what level 282 may cause a reaction in each individual , because people can have reactions to so many things and at different levels . however , if you ' re worried about them you should avoid them .
anti - additive campaigners argue that until additives are proved safe , fsanz should use the precautionary principle where suspect additives are substituted with others that don ' t raise health concerns .
if you ' re worried about preservatives , jayasena says breads baked daily in - store generally have few , if any , preservatives , because any bread not sold is usually thrown out at the end of the day . check the ingredient labels , or ask the baker what preservatives they use .
questions have been raised about a loophole in labelling laws that allows manufacturers to avoid listing unpopular ingredients such as 282 or 223 . in the food standards code , food processing aids don ' t have to be listed as ingredients . according to fsanz , it ' s very unusual for there to be anything other than minimal residues of these processing aids in foods .
as a sulphite , 223 is not permitted for use as a preservative in bread . it is , however , permitted for use as a processing agent – and so it can be used and not listed .
if 282 is used as a preservative , it must be listed , but if the manufacturer deems it a processing aid , it does not . so it ' s essentially up to manufacturers to
apply good manufacturing practice
.
enzymes such as alpha - amylase are also classed as processing aids and so don ' t have to be listed . used in most breads in a dried , powdered form , they artificially help speed up the fermenting process that would normally occur when traditional dough is left to rise .
concerns have been raised that enzymes are still allergenic , even after baking . studies have found workers exposed to airborne particles of alpha - amylase can become susceptible to
baker ' s asthma
. but fsanz argues most of the allergenic effect of alpha - amylase is destroyed during cooking , pointing to a world health organization / un food and agriculture organization expert committee which found no adverse effect from seven grams of the enzyme per kilogram of body weight per day .
in 2012 , a ruckus erupted when it was revealed that coles
freshly baked instore
bread was actually par - baked bread made in ireland .
par - baking is when bread is baked to around 80–90 % completion , snap frozen and transported to the store , where it is baked for the final 10 % . often there is no difference in ingredients , but par - baked bread ' s freshness starts to decline after about six hours .
in june 2013 , the australian competition and consumer commission ( accc ) instituted proceedings in the federal court against coles , accusing the supermarket of misleading consumers about its par - baked products . in june 2014 , coles was found guilty of misleading and deceptive conduct , with the australian federal court ruling it breached the australian consumer law ( acl ) by labelling its par - baked bread
fresh

the bread industry ( like our supermarkets ) is dominated by a duopoly . you may see many brands , but at least two - thirds of all our bread comes from two big corporations – george weston foods and goodman fielder .

as a general rule of thumb , bread with at least 2g of dietary fibre per serve is a
source
of fibre , bread with at least 4g of dietary fibre per serve is a
good source
of fibre , and with at least 7g of dietary fibre per serve is an
excellent source
( food standard 1 . 2 . 7 ) . white bread labelled
high fibre
often contains hi - maize , a corn - based , resistant starch that passes undigested into the small intestine , where it can encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria . see our fibre guide for more .
there are two types of omega - 3 fats – those from plants ( mainly ala ) and those from fish ( mainly epa and dha ) . there ' s now very good evidence that omega - 3 fats from fish reduce your risk of heart disease and probably provide many other health benefits as well . but you don ' t get the same benefits from ala from plant sources , such as linseed . this fat may also help prevent heart disease , but you ' d need more of it to get some benefit – more than you ' d get from a serving of multigrain bread containing linseed .
phytoestrogens in some plants , such as soy and linseed , mimic the hormone oestrogen . they supposedly relieve menopause symptoms and protect against heart disease and some cancers , including breast cancer . in reality , there ' s no consistent evidence that soy products reduce hot flushes , and no evidence at all that linseed relieves menopausal symptoms . high consumption of soy foods may lower the risk of breast and prostate cancers , but only by a little . for the small amount you ' d get from a serving of multigrain bread there ' s little point in buying soy and linseed over other grainy breads unless you prefer the taste .
packaged sliced bread can be 24 hours old by the time it arrives at the shops because it ' s baked the day before and then transported . consumers will have no idea how old the bread is , because the best - before tag indicates when it should be eaten by , rather than when it was baked . bakers we spoke to agree the lifespan of a fresh loaf should be about two or three days . but we found packaged breads last much longer than fresh - baked breads .
so how do packaged bread companies make their bread last mould - free so long without artificial preservatives ? manufacturers claim advances in processing methods help , as does packaging that limits the flow of moisture , oxygen and carbon dioxide .
artificial preservatives may also be replaced with natural ones . as an example , mould can be kept at bay by citric acid ( 330 ) , lactic acid ( 270 ) and fumaric acid ( 297 ) . other preservatives are vegetable gums , vinegar ( acetic acid 260 ) and sodium .
