Effect of Extruded Wheat Germ on Dough Rheology and Bread Quality

Wheat germ, a by-product of the milling industry, has interesting nutritional properties. However, it has limited use due to a high risk of rancidity, which could be reduced by using certain thermal treatments such as extrusion. The aim of this study was to investigate how wheat germ extrusion affects the changes induced by its addition to bread dough. For this purpose, different quantities of extruded or raw wheat germ (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 20?g/100?g flour) were added to bread dough. Rheological characteristics of the dough and final quality characteristics of the bread were analysed from both the physical and the sensory points of view. Wheat germ addition increased water absorption and development time but decreased stability after over-kneading, dough tenacity, extensibility, and dough alveographic strength. The addition of extruded wheat dough improved stability and decreased extensibility and strength. Bread made from dough with added wheat germ presented decreased volume, cohesiveness, and elasticity and increased firmness. However, extrusion increased the volume of breads with added wheat germ and improver and decreased firmness. All breads obtained positive acceptability scores in sensory analysis, although wheat germ addition (10?g/100?g flour) slightly decreased texture, appearance, and overall acceptability scores of breads. Germ extrusion therefore improves dough rheology and bread quality and constitutes a suitable treatment to stabilise wheat germ in bread dough.

Effect of flour blending on functional, baking and organoleptic characteristics of bread

Soybean (full‐fat and defatted) and barley flours were incorporated into wheat flour at 5, 10, 15 and 20% substitution levels. The gluten content, sedimentation value and water absorption capacity of the flour blends and the mixing time of the dough decreased with increase in the level of soybean and barley flour separately and in combinations. Protein and glutelin contents increased significantly on blending of soyflour (full‐fat and defatted) to bread wheat flour. The breads prepared from the blends also varied in their loaf weight, loaf volume and sensory characteristics. The bread volume decreased with increasing amount of non‐wheat flour substitution. The crumb colour changed from creamish white to dull brown and a gradual hardening of crumb texture was observed as the addition of soybean (full‐fat and defatted) and barley flours increased. At the higher levels, the acceptability declined because of the compact texture of the crumb and the strong flavour of the product. The addition of 10% of soyflour (full‐fat and defatted) or 15% of barley flour, full‐fat soy + barley or defatted soy + barley flour to bread flour produced acceptable bread.     

Dough properties and breadmaking qualities of whole waxy wheat flour and effects of additional enzymes

BACKGROUND: Waxy wheat, a new kind of genetically back‐crossed wheat, was applied to make whole bread in this study. Dough properties and bread quality of the whole waxy wheat flour, which was milled from 100% whole grains containing bran and germ, were determined. RESULTS: Whole waxy wheat had lower protein and lipid contents but higher dietary fiber content than whole regular wheat flour. Pasting temperature and viscosity of the whole waxy wheat flour were significantly lower than those of the whole regular wheat. However, the white wheat flour milled from wheat grains with 48% recovery had significantly higher peak viscosity than the whole waxy wheat. Bread made from the whole waxy wheat flour was significantly softer than that from the whole regular wheat flour during storage. However, bread made from whole waxy wheat had significantly lower specific volume than that from the white waxy flour because of the high amount of dietary fiber. Addition of cellulase increased paste viscosity, lowered dough mixing properties and reduced the firmness of the bread. The addition of pentosanase also increased paste viscosity, lowered dough mixing properties, improved loaf volume of bread but increased the firmness of breadcrumbs, while the addition of α‐amylase only increased final viscosity of flour and did not affect dough properties and bread qualities of whole waxy wheat flour. CONCLUSION: As a result, waxy wheat shows superior properties for making whole breads. Additional enzymes are also necessary to improve bread quality and nutritive values of whole waxy bread.

Enzymes Action on Wheat–Soy Dough Properties and Bread Quality

High levels of soy flour added to wheat bread produce negative effects on gluten network formation, dough properties, and on bread final quality. The objective of this study was to assess the influence of three enzymes, transglutaminase (TG), glucose oxidase (GOX), and endoxylanase (XYL), on dough properties and final quality of high-protein breads. The addition of TG and GOX increased the mixing stability and maximum resistance of dough, decreased its extensibility, and produced stronger and more consistent dough samples. XYL incorporation produced opposite results. XYL addition and the lowest GOX dose increased bread volume significantly and decreased initial crumb firmness, while high doses of TG (0.3%) produced detrimental effects on bread volume and crumb firmness. In conclusion, XYL and GOX 0.001% addition improved the final quality of soy-fortified breads, but XYL was the best additive to improve dough properties, bread volume, and quality.     

Effect of Amino Acids and Peptides on Mixing and Frozen Dough Properties of Wheat Flour

Free amino acids, peptides, and vital wheat gluten were investigated to determine their effect on the mixing and frozen dough baking properties of wheat flour. Addition of 1% cysteine and aspartic acid decreased and glutamic acid, histidine, arginine, and lysine increased the mixing tolerance of flour. Cystine, methionine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine increased but isoleucine, histidine, glycine, arginine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and lysine decreased loaf volume of nonfrozen dough breads. However cystine, methionine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine did not increase loaf volume of bread prepared from frozen dough. Vital wheat gluten increased mixing tolerance and bread loaf volume only for the nonfrozen dough. However, wheat gluten hydrolysate, corn, and bonito peptides decreased mixing tolerance after optimum mixing time and were effective in increasing loaf volume for both frozen and nonfrozen dough. As the amount of corn and bonito peptide increased, specific loaf volumes also increased. Addition of 2.5% corn peptide was most effective in increasing loaf volume of frozen dough bread. Crust browning and crumb stickiness increased, whereas crumb softness decreased with addition of peptides. Addition of less than 1% peptide did not adversely affect the aftertaste and off‐flavor of bread. These results suggest that addition of peptides are effective for improving the baking quality of frozen dough, whereas amino acids and gluten have no effect.     

Effect of defatted maize germ flour addition on the physical and sensory quality of wheat bread

Maize (Zea mays L.) processing produces large quantities of defatted maize germ (DMG) that is being used mainly for animal feed. The objective of this study was to exploit use of this nutrient-rich by-product in bread by replacing wheat flour at 5-20 g/100 g levels. Breads prepared with wheat-DMG flour blends were analyzed for loaf volume, density, instrumental dough hardness and bread firmness, Hunter color (“L”, “a”, “b”, chroma, and hue angle), and selected sensory attributes. Loaf volumes decreased significantly, from 318.8 ml to 216.3 ml, as the DMG flour supplementation was increased from 0 to 20 g/100 g; a similar effect was observed for bread specific volume. Increase in dough hardness (7.56-71.32 N) was directly related to increase in DMG flour levels. Instrumental firmness values were significantly higher for breads containing DMG flours, 61.58 N in 20 g/100 g DMG bread versus 32.84 N for the control bread, made with wheat flour only. The control bread was lighter in color, as shown by higher “L” values, than those having DMG flour, with chroma and hue angle values significantly higher in treatment breads. In general, no differences were observed for the sensory attributes of crumb color, cells uniformity, aroma, firmness, mouthfeel, and off-flavor in breads with up to 15 g/100 g DMG flour, while the overall acceptability scores showed a mixed pattern. The results of this study demonstrated that acceptable quality bread could be made with DMG flour addition at ≤15 g/100 g.     

Physicochemical,rheological, and organoleptic characteristics of wheat-fenugreek supplemented blends

The effect of blending of fenugreek (raw, soaked, and germinated) flour (Trigonellafaenum graecum) from 5 to 20% in wheat flour on the rheological and sensory evaluation of bread, biscuit, noodle, and macroni was studied. Farinograph water absorption, dough development time, mixing tolerance index, and dough stability increased significantly with increased amount of fenugreek flour. Incorporation of fenugreek flour in wheat flour increased the protein and fat contents of blends but decreased the gluten contents. Among the supplemented blends, blends containing germinated fenugreek flour had higher protein contents (13.83-16.30%) up to 20%. Overall acceptability scores of bread, biscuit, noodles, and macroni were found highly acceptable up to 15, 10, and 20% levels, respectively.

该文以不同吸水速率的小麦粉为基础,研究在相同的揉混条件下,其面团特性及馒头品质的变化。使用粉质仪将面团稠度达到最高时所用的加水量与消耗的时间的比值定义为吸水速率,测定不同吸水速率小麦粉其粉质特性、湿面筋含量、面筋指数、游离巯基与二硫键含量、面团质构特性、馒头比容与高径比、馒头的质构特性。研究结果表明,当小麦粉吸水速率从0.17 g/s增大到3.87 g/s时,面团的稳定时间及粉质质量指数显著下降。其湿面筋含量从38.81%下降到19.19%,二硫键含量从13.31μmol/g下降到9.05μmol/g。面团的质构特性在发酵0 min时呈先升高后降低趋势、在醒发45 min后整体呈下降趋势。馒头的比容从2.67 mL/g降低到2.27 mL/g、高径比从0.68降低到0.56,其硬度、胶着性、咀嚼性均成下降趋势。整体而言,吸水速率低的小麦粉其面团相对较硬且馒头较为筋道有嚼劲;吸水速率较高的小麦粉其面团硬度稍弱且馒头较为松软。     

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.

Farinograph water absorption, dough development time, mixing tolerance index, and dough stability increased significantly with increased amount of fenugreek flour. Incorporation of fenugreek flour in wheat flour increased the protein and fat contents of blends but decreased the gluten contents. Among the supplemented blends, blends containing germinated fenugreek flour had higher protein contents (13.83–16.30%) up to 20%. Overall acceptability scores of bread, biscuit, noodles, and macroni were found highly acceptable up to 15, 10, and 20% levels, respectively.     

Combined effects of wheat gluten and carboxymethylcellulose on dough rheological behaviours and gluten network of potato–wheat flour-based bread

Incorporating high level of potato flour into wheat flour enhances nutritional values of bread but induces a series of problems that lead to the decline of the bread quality. To overcome the barrier, wheat gluten and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were added into potato–wheat composite flour to improve dough machinability and bread quality. The rheological properties, thermo-mechanical properties and microstructures of dough were investigated. The results showed that the interaction between gluten and CMC mitigated the discontinuity of gluten matrix and gluten protein aggregation caused by the addition of potato flour, which yielded a more branched and compact gluten network. The compact three-dimensional viscoelastic structure induced improvements of gas retention capacity and dough stability, making it mimic the machinability properties of wheat flour dough. Bread qualities were apparently improved with the combined use of 4% gluten and 6% CMC, of which specific volume increased by 42.86%, and simultaneously, hardness reduced by 75.93%.     

双乙酰酒石酸单双甘油酯对全麦面团特性及全麦馒头品质影响

为了改善全麦中麸皮带来的不利影响,本文尝试向全麦粉中添加双乙酰酒石酸单双甘油酯(DATEM,0~1.0%)改变全麦面团特性同时改善全麦食品品质。利用混合实验仪(Mixolab)、质构仪、动态流变仪、扫描电镜、激光共聚焦等研究了DATEM对全麦面团的混合特性、流变特性、拉伸特性和微观结构及其对全麦馒头比容、质构特性的影响。结果发现,DATEM使得全麦面团形成时间、稳定时间与回生值均升高,峰值粘度降低。DATEM添加增加了面团拉伸强度,弹性模量(G")和黏性模量(G"),但降低了面团延伸性。全麦面团微观结构显示,添加DATEM后面团内部断裂减少,结构均匀连续,面筋结构得到明显改善。DATEM使得全麦馒头硬度显著降低(p<0.05),由1546.70 g(对照)降低到680.56 g(DATEM 1.0%),当添加量为0.4%时,全麦馒头的比容比对照增加了1.2倍。

本研究旨在探讨葡萄糖氧化酶和谷氨酰胺转氨酶对发酵麦麸面团加工品质的改良效果及改良机制,为改善全麦发酵食品食用品质提供应用参考。在全麦粉中分别添加1.0、3.0和6.0 U/g的葡萄糖氧化酶或谷氨酰胺转氨酶,分析测定了全麦粉粉质特性、发酵面团质构特性以及面筋的持水率、蛋白质组成和游离巯基含量的变化情况。研究结果表明:两种酶制剂的添加对全麦粉粉质特性有显著改善作用(p<0.05),面团稳定时间延长,弱化度减小;随酶制剂添加量的增加,发酵面团的弹性和凝聚性均显著增加,面筋蛋白中谷蛋白大聚合体(GMP)含量显著升高,游离巯基的含量显著减少(p<0.05),但高添加量的谷氨酰胺转氨酶(6.0 U/g)引起面筋蛋白持水率下降。谷氨酰胺转氨酶对麦麸面团品质的改良效果显著优于葡萄糖氧化酶(p<0.05),其适宜添加量为3.0 U/g,可使麦麸面团的稳定时间由5.3 min延长至9.3 min。     

The effects of different materials as dough improvers for organic whole wheat bread

In this research, the effects of different materials such as defatted Cephalaria syriaca flour (0.5%), rosehip (2.5%), vital gluten (2.5%) and malt flour (2%), and their combinations on the quality of organic whole wheat flour were investigated. The highest maximum resistance value was obtained in the treatment containing 0.5% cephalaria and 2.5% rosehip. The addition of malt flour and vital gluten significantly increased the extensibility value. Although rosehip, cephalaria and vital gluten generally increased the dough energy, malt flour decreased the dough energy when compared to the control. The combination of 0.5% cephalaria and 2.5% rosehip significantly decreased the adhesion and stringiness of dough. Data showed that dough rheological characteristics of organic whole wheat flour could be improved with the addition of different materials such as malt flour, cephalaria, rosehip and vital gluten.
