Effect of raw wheat germ addition on the physical texture and objective color of a designer food (pan bread)

Pan bread formulations based on raw wheat germ, vital wheat gluten, and enzyme-active soybean flour were optimized with the objective of developing a phytochemical-enriched designer food product with superior nutritional and sensory qualities. The objective texture values (measured as compression force, g) indicated that the test bread with 10% wheat germ addition was comparable (299.9 g) to the control (210.1 g), but the compression force was significantly higher (415.4 g) at 20% wheat germ level. With 0.5% sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), 30 ppm potassium bromate and 50 ppm ascorbic acid, the test breads with 10 and 20% wheat germ had compression force values of 313.8 g and 367.7 g, respectively. Comparing the CIE L*a* values, the test bread samples having up to 20% wheat germ were slightly darker in crumb color than the white flour control bread, but were significantly lighter than the whole wheat flour bread. However, the addition of wheat germ increased the yellow color of bread crumb as indicated by the higher b* values of 11.4, 16.4 and 21.4, for control, 10% and 20% wheat germ breads, respectively. The physical texture and objective color measurements can be used in evaluating the quality of a phytochemical-enriched designer food (pan bread). It can be concluded that wheat germ-enriched bread can be prepared by using white flour, 20% raw wheat germ, 0.5% SSL, 30 ppm potassium bromate and 50 ppm ascorbic acid to provide consumers with a functional food.     

Additives Affect Deoxynivalenol (Vomi toxin) Flour during Breadbaking

The effects of oxidizing (potassium bromate and L-ascorbic acid) and reducing (sodium bisulfite and L-cysteine) agents, and ammonium phosphate, at varying levels, on deoxynivalenol (DON; vomitoxin: 3,7,15-trihydroxy-12,13-epoxytrichothec-9 en-8 one) in whole wheat flour were investigated during breadbaking. Baking of flour containing 3.13 μg/g DON brought about 7.0% toxin reduction in bread. Sodium bisulfite (25 and 50 μg/g) L-cysteine (10, 40, and 90 μg/g and ammonium phosphate (1,000 μg/g) were moderately effective in reducing DON level in bread (38.0 to 46.0%). Potassium bromate (25 and 75 μg/g) and L-ascorbic acid (50 μg/g) had no effect.     

STUDIES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PAN BREAD USING RAW WHEAT GERM

Raw wheat germ, known to be high in vitamin E and other phytochemicals, was used to develop pan bread formulations. The raw wheat germ used had protein, fat and ash contents of 27.88, 9.86 and 4.33%, respectively, compared with 11.35, 1.26 and 0.61% for white flour. Reduction in specific loaf volume, due to the inclusion of wheat germ, was significantly restored by using a combination of 30 ppm potassium bromate and 50 ppm ascorbic acid. At levels of 10 and 20% germ incorporation, the use of 3.0% enzyme‐active soy flour significantly improved the specific loaf volume of the test breads. In comparison with white‐flour control bread, panelists did not find any significant differences in any of the sensory attributes of the test bread samples containing up to 10% wheat germ and 0.5% sodium stearoyl‐2‐lactylate (SSL). The minerals, protein and fat content of wheat‐germ‐enriched breads, was superior to the white‐flour control bread. It can be concluded that phytochemical‐enriched pan bread with superior nutritional and sensory qualities can be produced using white flour, 20% wheat germ, 0.5% SSL, 30 ppm potassium bromate and 50 ppm ascorbic acid.

Effect of preservatives addition on the shelf-life extensions and quality of flat bread as determined by near-infrared spectroscopy and texture analysis

Many people do not have refrigeration or frozen storage to inhibit mould growth and keep the Arabic bread fresh for more than a few days. Therefore, shelf-life extension is necessary for this type of bread. The present study hypothesised that the addition of preservatives may be done in Arabic flat bread (AFB) to extend shelf-life. Thus, objectives of this study were to evaluate selected preservatives to inhibit mould growth and to employ physical techniques, to monitor bread aging. Three preservatives, fumaric acid (0.2%, F), sodium propionate (0.3%, P), and sodium propionate-fumaric acid mixture (PF) were used. Tensile tests, and near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) were used to monitor bread ageing. The addition of PF in the AFB formula significantly increased the time of tearing at 0 day. For all treatments, the NIRS results showed high R²-values between the actual storage days and NIRS predictions. The NIRS and texture analysis are valuable tools to detect the effect of the preservatives on AFB shelf-life and quality.

Use of Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) for measuring the pasting characteristics of wheat flour as influenced by additives

The influence of additives on the pasting characteristics of wheat flour was measured using a Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) by making use of two different quality wheat flours. Incorporation of potassium bromate or ascorbic acid did not influence the pasting characteristics. Reducing agents like L -cysteine hydrochloride however, reduced the peak viscosity from 263 to 255 RVU when 0.060 g kg⁻¹ was added. On the other hand, the reduction in the peak viscosity was 79.03% in weak flour having a protein content of 81 g kg⁻¹ and a falling number of 545 s as compared with 49.0% for medium strong flour having a protein content 108 g kg⁻¹ and a falling number of 426 s when 1 g kg⁻¹ fungal α-amylase was used. Use of this enzyme reduced the cold paste viscosity, breakdown and total setback value in both the flours but to a greater extent in weak flour than in medium strong flour. Sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL) increased the peak viscosity as well as hot paste viscosity in both flours. Emulsifiers like glyceroyl monostearate (GMS) or surfactants like sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL) or diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides (DATEM) alter the pasting properties of flour. Of the surfactants, greater change was observed with SSL followed by GMS and DATEM, of the flours, the weak flour responded more than the medium strong flour. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

Incorporation of several additives into gluten free breads: Effect on dough properties and bread quality

The objective of this work was to assess the effect of emulsifiers, hydrocolloids and enzymes on gluten-free dough rheology and thermal properties and bread quality, while relating dough properties parameters to bread technological quality. Breads were based on rice flour, cassava starch and full-fat active soy flour, with 65% or 75% (flour-starch basis) of water incorporation. Additives used were emulsifiers (diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides – DATEM and sodium stearoyl lactylate – SSL), enzymes (glucose oxidase and α-amylase) and hydrocolloids (xanthan gum, carboxymethylcellulose, alginate and carrageenan). Results showed that additive incorporation modified dough behavior, evidenced by different calorimetric and rheological properties. Besides, the electrophoretic pattern of dough extracted proteins changed with glucose oxidase addition. These modifications resulted in breads with different characteristics, such as specific volume, firmness and firming rate, and crumb structure. Nonetheless, they did not necessarily show better quality parameters than the control bread. The control dough displayed good performance for obtaining gluten-free breads of acceptable volume, crumb structure and, principally, with lower hardening rate during storage. Contrary to widespread opinion, this work shows that the presence of additives is not essential for gluten-free bread production. This fact provides new perspectives to the gluten free market at the moment of selecting raw materials and technological parameters, reducing production costs and facilitating gluten free products development.     

Experiments on dough rheology to improve screening of bread wheat cultivars

The bread‐making potential of flour may be roughly estimated by dough rheology, especially its tolerance to over‐mixing as determined with the farinograph. The objective of this study was to identify the relative effects of experimental conditions likely to affect dough mixing stability: mixer speed, temperature, salt, yeast and bread additives such as ascorbic acid and preservatives. The addition of 1–2% salt or ascorbic acid (50 mg kg^?1 flour) improved dough mixing stability and counteracted the negative effect of bread preservatives. Mixing salted dough at slow speed (63 rpm) and 25 °C might be a more realistic bread‐making procedure for performing dough rheology assays with equipment such as the farinograph, compared to official methods (only flour and water, no salt; 30 °C). Amongst five bread wheat cultivars, differences existed in dough strengthening response to both salt and ascorbic acid, a property that may find application in wheat breeding and screening.     

Antistaling Additives, Flour Type and Sourdough Process Effects on Functionality of Wheat Doughs

Antistaling additives—distilled monoglycerides (MGL), diacetyl tartaric ester of monodiglycerides (DATEM), sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and fungal α-amylase—were studied for effects on rheological and fer- mentative properties of white/whole wheat bread doughs, made following straight/sour dough processes. A fractionated factorial design (L³²) was used to evaluate single additive effects and interactions. Single addition of DATEM, followed by SSL, α-amylase and hydrocolloids improved oven rise and final volume. In presence of DATEM, synergistic (MGL) and antagonistic (SSL) effects of additional emulsifiers were found on gassing power. SSL was the only effective conditioner for enhancement of mixing properties. Dough plasticity was negatively affected by MGL addition and by CMC/HPMC in white/whole flours respectively. Some combinations resulted in detrimental dough handling properties.

Effects of trypsin‐hydrolyzed wheat gluten peptide on wheat flour dough

BACKGROUND: Gluten peptide was prepared by trypsin hydrolysis and characterized by high‐performance liquid chromatographic analysis. The effects on non‐frozen and frozen doughs of trypsin‐hydrolyzed gluten peptide (THGP) and its combination with ascorbic acid or KBrO₃ were investigated. RESULTS: Molecular analysis of THGP showed a decrease in the high‐molecular‐weight and an increase in the low‐molecular‐weight sodium dodecyl sulfate‐soluble fractions, compared with those of control wheat gluten. The addition of 8% THGP decreased the mixing time and tolerance of the dough, both with and without ascorbic acid or KBrO₃. However, the maximum resistance and extensibility of the rested dough containing 8% THGP, with and without ascorbic acid or KBrO₃, were not significantly different from those of the control dough. The addition of 8% THGP significantly increased the loaf volume of bread baked from non‐frozen dough when combined with 60 ppm ascorbic acid or 30 ppm KBrO₃, but it had a significant effect both with and without ascorbic acid or KBrO₃ on frozen‐dough bread. A large difference in volume was observed between breads made with and without THGP at the oven‐spring, rather than at proofing. CONCLUSION: The addition of 8% THGP increased the loaf volume of bread made from freeze‐damaged dough and this effect increased when THGP was combined with 60 ppm ascorbic acid.

Synergism between lipoxygenase‐active soybean flour and ascorbic acid on rheological and sensory properties of wheat bread

BACKGROUND: The interaction between lipoxygenase‐active soybean flour (LOX) and ascorbic acid (AA), on colour, rheological and sensory properties of wheat bread was studied with the aim of reducing the applied quantity of additives in bread formulations. RESULTS: The ascorbic acid (0–500 ppm) and active soybean flour (0–1%) mixture improved bread‐crumb colour by lowering the yellow hue in a higher proportion than those expressed by the components alone, characterising a synergistic mechanism (?_b = 15.1? (1.7 × LOX) ? (0.5 × AA) ? (5.8 × LOX × AA), where ?_b represent the estimated value for the yellow hue parameter). No differences in flavour and porosity were seen between the samples. As supported by the instrumental methods, breads made with active soybean flour and ascorbic acid (LOX + AA) had whiter crumbs and were softer and springier than controls as assessed by a trained sensory panel. In summary, the combination of both active soybean flour and ascorbic acid showed synergism, promoting a greater bleaching effect than when used alone. CONCLUSION: These results suggest the potential use of active soybean flour as a synergistic ingredient in the substitution of artificial additives in bread making. Since the interaction on the bleaching response was not linear and active soybean flour showed a higher iron concentration (66.40 ± 4.23 µg g^?1) than non‐active soybean flour (52.30 ± 0.40 µg g^?1), more studies are warranted to establish the biochemical mechanisms involved in this interaction.

溴酸钾作为面包添加剂的使用及安全回顾

在过去的几年中,人们给予溴酸钾以极大关注,对其在面团及面包中作为氧化剂使用的安全问题提出质疑。本就溴酸钾自1914年初次在美国使用以来的情况,以及20年以来对于溴酸钾安全问题的研究进行了回顾。结论是溴酸钾是一种毒害基因的致癌物并因而被世界卫生组织禁用。世界上的许多国家都已经禁止了溴酸钾的作用,但是在中国溴酸钾仍被列为面粉处理剂,允许以0．03g/kg的用量于小麦面粉中使用。许多禁用溴酸钾的国家经实践证明,用抗坏血酸、酶制剂及乳化剂的混合物可以替代溴酸钾,但价格更贵。当食品安全及消费的健康岌岌可危时,人们应当提高警惕了。     

EFFECT OF ADDITIVES ON RHEOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND QUALITY OF WHEAT FLOUR PAROTTA

Effects of oxidizing agents (potassium bromate [20 and 40 ppm], ascorbic acid [100 and 200 ppm] and potassium iodate [20 and 40 ppm]), reducing agents (potassium metabisulphite [100 and 200 ppm] and cysteine hydrochloride [50 and 100 ppm]), enzymes (fungalα‐amylase [10 and 20 ppm] and protease [10 and 20 ppm]) and dry gluten powder (1, 2 and 3%) on rheological characteristics of dough and quality of parotta were studied. Addition of oxidizing agents and dry glutenincreased values for farinograph stability, extensograph and mixograph areas, apparent biaxial extensional viscosity, compressive stress, hardness and cohesiveness, while reducing agents and enzymes decreased the aforementioned characteristics and increased force decay parameter and adhesiveness of the dough. Among the different additives studied, incorporation of 100‐ppm potassium metabisulphite, 50‐ppm cysteine hydrochloride and 10‐ppm protease increased the overall quality score of parotta.

Effect of antimicrobial agents and dough conditioners on the shelf-life extension and quality of flat bread, as determined by near-infrared spectroscopy

Middle Eastern Countries are experiencing the emergence of high volume production and retail marketing over traditional unit baking and retailing. This phenomenon has revealed a shortcoming in quality issues in Arabic flat bread (AFB) manufacture. Therefore, shelf-life extension and quality improvement are in demand to limit economic loss. Five improvers and a control (without any improver) were selected for improving shelf-life and quality of AFB. The improver treatments included: (1) sodium 9 stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), (2) monoglycreides (MG), (3) hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose gum (HPMC), (4) high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), and (5) a combination of all the aforementioned improvers. The texture analysis data indicated that the presence of HFCS may act as a plasticizer through contributing to the longer tearing time. The other treatments exhibited a significant decline in tearing time throughout storage. The NIRS data indicated that after 3 days, the control was less fresh than AFB formulated with HFCS or improver combinations. The sensory evaluation of AFB exhibited that the improver combination significantly improved the quality attributes.     

Factors affecting the quality of Arabic bread — fermentation variables

The effect of finished dough temperature, fermentation time, and intermediate and final proving time on the quality of Arabic bread has been investigated. Statistical analysis of the loaf scores indicated that all these factors affect the bread quality, sometimes in several ways. Final proving time and its combined effect with dough temperature were most significant. Extension of final proving time had the advantage of producing blister-free Arabic bread and of improving the crust smoothness, evenness of layers and crumb texture, although darker crust and crumb colour resulted.
