Evaluation of antioxidant, rheological and sensorial properties of wheat flour dough and bread containing ginger powder

The effects of addition of ginger powder (0, 3, 4.5 and 6%) in formulation were examined in order to obtain an antioxidant-enriched bread with good physico chemical and sensorial properties. The rheological properties of doughs were evaluated using dynamic rheological measurements. Physical properties, total phenolics content (TPC- Folin-Ciocalteau method), radical scavenging activity (RSA- DPPH assay) and sensory analysis (hedonic test) of the supplemented bread were determined.The highest TPC (0.48 and 0.71 mg GAE/g DW on crumb and crust respectively) and RSA activity (0.15 and 0.24 μmol DPPH/mg DW ml⁻¹ on crumb and crust respectively) were achieved in the bread having the highest percentage of ginger powder (6%). But this sample showed the worst results regarding the rheological properties indicating that the dough and the bread had a tough structure. Moreover, by sensory evaluation this bread sample was not acceptable.Among the studied samples, bread with 3% of ginger powder showed good rheological characteristics and doubled anti-oxidant content compared to the control bread and the highest sensorial acceptability.

Quality of wheat bread enriched with onion extract and polyphenols content and antioxidant activity changes during bread storage

We determined the effect of onion skin extract (OE) on the quality of wheat bread: contents of total polyphenols and flavonols, antioxidative activity and their changes during storage. With increasing doses of OE to bread, contents of total polyphenols and flavonols and the antioxidative activity were observed to increase. A higher total flavonol content was found in bread with 1% OE stored at 24 °C than in bread stored at 4 °C. There was no such relationship in the bread with 0.5% OE. Changes in flavonols content during storage for 72 h were insignificant. No clear trends of change in the antioxidant activity could be found at storage of breads. The addition of OE caused no changes in the yield and volume of bread and contributed to a decreasing value of L* parameter and to increasing values of ΔE, a* and b* parameters of bread crumb colour. Consumers accepted the smell and taste of bread with the addition of OE to a lesser extent than the control bread. Bread with 1% OE the taste was rated very low. Consumers rated the taste of bread with 1% OE low because it was bitter. Breads enriched with OE had a proper external appearance as well as crumb and crust features. Roasted onion aroma and taste were perceptible in the obtained breads. A bitterness was perceptible in breads baked with the addition of 1% of OE.     

Mixing properties of fibre-enriched wheat bread doughs: A response surface methodology study

Fibre-enriched baked goods have increasingly become a convenient carrier for dietary fibre. However, the detrimental effect of fibres on dough rheology and bread quality continuously encourages food technologists to look for new fibres. The effect of several fibres (Fibruline, Fibrex, Exafine and Swelite) from different sources (chicory roots, sugar beet and pea) on dough mixing properties when added singly or in combination has been investigated by applying a response surface methodology to a Draper-Lin small composite design of fibre-enriched wheat dough samples. Major effects were induced on water absorption by Fibrex that led to a significant increase of this parameter, accompanied by a softening effect on the dough, more noticeable when an excess of mixing was applied. Conversely, Exafine increased water absorption without affecting the consistency and stability of dough, which even improved when combined with Swelite. Fibruline showed little effect on dough mixing parameters, but showed synergistic effects with pea fibres. The overall result indicates that the use of an optimised combination of fibres in the formulation of fibre-enriched dough allow improving dough functionality during processing.

Use of response surface methodology to investigate the effects of processing conditions on sourdough wheat bread quality

Response surface methodology was used to investigate the influence of three factors, sourdough fermentation time, proof time and amount of yeast addition on the quality of sourdough wheat bread. Each predictor variable was tested at five levels. Sourdough fermentation times were 5, 11, 20, 29 and 35 h, yeast addition rates were 0.05, 0.75, 1.77, 2.80 and 3.50% (flour weight basis) and proof times were 16, 40, 75, 110 and 134 min. The performance of two different starter culture types, a mixed strain starter culture called Böcker Reinzucht–Sauerteig Weizen and a single strain starter culture of Lactobacillus brevis, was compared by separately completing the experimental design for each. Independently non-acidified control bread was prepared. A range of loaf quality parameters was determined including pH, total titratable acidity, loaf height, specific volume, crumb mean cell area and crumb hardness. Overall breads with better specific volume values were achieved with the use of sourdough relative to the control. Results indicated that maximum loaf specific volume was achieved when L. brevis sourdough was used particularly when it was used in conjunction with a high rate of yeast. Given a lower rate of yeast addition however, the mixed strain starter culture yielded better bread.

Optimisation of supercritical CO2 extraction of grape seed oil using response surface methodology

The aim of this study was to use waste from the wine production process with special accent on grape seeds and new green technology. Supercritical CO₂ was considered as a green solvent in extraction of grape seed oil. The effects of different extraction process parameters on oil yield and antioxidant activity were investigated. Extraction optimisation was conducted using response surface methodology (RSM). Extraction pressure has proven to be the most significant factor influencing oil yield and antioxidant activity (P < 0.0001). The optimal conditions for obtaining the highest oil yield and antioxidant activity within the experimental range of the variables studied were at extraction pressure of 400 bar and temperature of 41 °C. Under these optimal conditions, the predicted extraction oil yield was 14.49% and DPPH 37.07%. Applying this green extraction method, the oil from grape seeds was totally extracted. The produced oil was of satisfactory quality, and the content of α‐tocopherol in obtained grape seed oil at optimal extraction conditions was 36.05 mg kg^?1.     

Optimisation of minimal processing variables to preserve the functional quality and colour of carrot juice by means of the response surface methodology

Combined processes based on acidification (pH: 4.5, 5.0, 5.5) and mild thermal treatments (T: 56, 58, 60°C) at different exposure times (t: 2, 4, 6 min) were optimised using the response surface methodology to improve the functional quality of carrot juice. The effects on α‐ and β‐carotenes, total antioxidant activity (TAA) and colour parameters were assessed. All combinations exhibited higher α‐ and β‐carotenes than untreated juice due to an increase on the extractability during processing. T was the most influential factor increasing carotenes as T increased. Conversely, TAA was more affected by pH. The maximum TAA was observed at pH 4.5 at 56°C. Moreover, samples with the lowest pH were the most luminous with highest a* and b*. The combination of pH 4.5 at 60°C, 4 min simultaneously showed high carotenes and TAA, resulting a good alternative to improve the functional quality and colour of carrot juice.     

Technological,nutritional and sensorial characteristics of wheat bread fortified with calcium salts

The aim of this paper was to carry out a comprehensive study of wheat flour breads fortified with different sources of calcium, which includes: technological, nutritional and sensorial characteristics. Calcium salts (lactate: LA, carbonate: CA, and citrate: CI) at two fortification levels (20% and 50%) were analysed. Only the LA fortified breads were harder with lower specific volume and the LA 50% showed the higher chewiness value. The crust colour of the CI 50% breads presented the lower browning index. In vitro nutritional studies showed that calcium content on digest and dialysate was significantly higher in all fortified breads. The CI 20% and all the 50% fortifications showed a better contribution of bioaccessible calcium. Sensorial general quality was not significantly different between fortified and Control breads.

Effects of green tea powder on the quality attributes of hard red winter wheat flour and Chinese steamed bread

The effects of green tea powder (GTP) on the properties of hard red winter (HRW) flour and Chinese steamed bread were investigated. GTP was blended with HRW flour at levels of 0.00, 1.00, 2.00, 3.00 and 4.00 g GTP/100 g wheat flour. With the addition of GTP, the maximum torque of flour became stronger. The resilience and degree of green colour of steamed bread increased, while hardness and chewiness decreased, with the addition of GTP. The addition of 1.00% GTP did not significantly affect the specific volume, but remarkably influenced the hardness and resilience of steamed bread. In steamed bread formulated with GTP, the antioxidant activity was 0.84 mm TE per g at 1.00% of GTP and increased with GTP levels. The steamed bread had a pleasant flavour, and the degree of overall liking of steamed bread increased with GTP levels to the maximum used in this work.     

Optimisation of microwave‐assisted extraction of prune (Prunus domestica) antioxidants by response surface methodology

Optimal conditions for microwave‐assisted extraction (MAE) of total phenols (TP), epicatechin gallate and antioxidant activity from prune (Prunus domestica), rejected in transformation process of plum to prune, were determined by response surface methodology. The central composite design was used to study the effects of three independent variables: microwave power, irradiation time and solvent polarity on the TP, epicatechin gallate and antioxidant activity. Epicatechin gallate was identified as a major phenolic compound in prune extract by RP‐HPLC. Microwave power and irradiation time significantly affected all responses (P < 0.01). The highest TP (598.89 mg GAE/100 g prune) was obtained using water as an extraction solvent at 500 W, during 115 s. However, the optimal conditions for epicatechin gallate extraction were ethanol 80%, 435 W and 120 s. MAE is more efficient than conventional extraction method to obtain TP from prune. The experimental values were reasonably close to the predicted values confirming the validity of the predicted models.     

Optimisation of antioxidant activity of grape cane extracts using response surface methodology

Solid–liquid extraction and response surface methodology were used to optimise conditions for the antioxidant activity of grape cane extracts. The independent processing variables were ethanol concentration, temperature and solvent to solid ratio. Ethanol concentration and temperature significantly affected antioxidant activity measured by the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay and the oxygen radical absorbance capacity using fluorescein (ORAC_FL) method (p  0.01), whereas the solvent to solid ratio did not significantly affect the activity (p > 0.05). Antioxidant activity of the extracts, determined by the TEAC assay, varied from 85.6 to 238.6 μmol Trolox equivalents/g of dry sample. ORAC_FL values ranged from 308.4 to 1302.7 μmol Trolox equivalents/g of dry sample. Ethanol concentrations of 40.4% and 55.4% were optimal for the highest antioxidant activities measured by the TEAC assay and the ORAC_FL method, respectively. The optimal temperature was 83.6 °C. Antioxidant activity correlates with total phenolic content of extracts.     

Wheat bread enrichment with hard-to-cook bean extruded flours: nutritional and acceptance evaluation

This study describes the enrichment of wheat bread with hard-to-cook black bean (BBEF) and cowpea (CEF) extruded flours. Breads containing 10% BBEF and 10% CEF presented increase of, respectively, 9% and 10% in protein content. In addition the fiber content was 2.6 higher in 10% BBEF bread and 2.2 higher in 10% CEF bread in comparison with standard bread. Despite protein and fiber increasing, the energetic value of substituted breads remained unchanged. An increase in the substitution to 15% resulted in decrease of specific volume and density of the breads. Results of sensory analysis to 10% BBEF bread presented overall appearance scores higher than standard bread and overall flavor acceptance very similar to standard. A total of 10% CEF bread presented similar appearance to those standard bread and 73% overall flavor acceptance. It is interesting to point out that distribution of 10% CEF bread overall flavor scores showed 3 distinct levels of consumer's sensibility. Practical Application: Breads enriched with extruded bean flours presented fiber and protein content improved and a very good consumer's acceptance. These results indicate that extruded bean flours constitute ingredients nutritionally and economically viable for technological application in breads elaboration, conferring improvement of nutritional characteristics without changing sensory attributes.     

Optimization of hydrocolloid addition to improve wheat bread dough functionality: a response surface methodology study

Effects of high ester pectin+α-amylase+sucrose (GNFZ), a high ester pectin+sucrose (BIG), xanthan gum (XANTHAN) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) on wheat dough performance have been studied. Effects of hydrocolloids added singly and in association at different levels, on the investigated rheological, mechanical and thermal parameters have been evaluated by response-surface methodology. Optimum hydrocolloid formulations for white wheat bread are recommended.Positive linear and negative quadratic significant effects of GNFZ were observed on both the gluten index (GI) and the energy of dissociation of the amylose–lipid complex (ΔH_x). Optimized dosage of 1.36 g GNFZ/100 g flour, d.b. (maximum of the respective response surface plot) led to maximized values for both GI and ΔH_x, described as good indicators and predictors of the quality of fresh and stored formulated breads to be obtained. The strengthening effect of high ester pectin was reinforced by the negative quadratic effect of GNFZ on gluten extensibility, the positive effect of GNFZ/HPMC on the resistance to extension of gluten, and the negative synergistic effect of the pair BIG/HPMC on dough extensibility. XANTHAN when added singly induced desirable increase in dough resistance to extension, and the incorporation of the pair XANTHAN/GNFZ into dough formula is recommended because of the reduction of the induced degree of softening during mixing (farinograph) of GNFZ formulated doughs. A dosage of 0.109 g XANTHAN/100 g flour annulate the softening effect of GNFZ when added at an optimized dose of 1. 36 g GNFZ/100 g flour. Caution should be applied when added XANTHAN in presence of BIG because of the decrease in the extent of amylose–lipid complexation. Addition of HPMC at a level <1/>1 moderate/enhance, respectively, the effect of GNFZ on the resistance to extension of the gluten, and the water binding capability of BIG, and in this respect the incorporation of the cellulose derivative is encouraged at a dose dependent on the required effect.     

Effects of spirulina biomass on the technological and nutritional quality of bread wheat pasta

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the incorporation of spirulina on technological and nutritional quality of dried pasta. Wheat flour was substituted by spirulina biomass at three levels: 5, 10 and 20 g/100 g, and a sample without spirulina biomass was made as control. The technological quality was analyzed in terms of cooking properties and texture profile, while pasta surface was observed by confocal microscopy. In addition, protein content, in vitro protein digestibility, phenolic compound content and in vitro antioxidant activity were the major bio-functional characteristics measured. An in vitro starch digestion was performed in order to estimate the glycemic index. Only pasta with 20 g of spirulina / 100 g of flour did slightly modify technological quality parameters; microstructure studies revealed the impact of spirulina addition, resulting in a more heterogeneous surface. The glycemic index was not affected by the addition of spirulina. The incorporation of spirulina resulted in an increase of protein content; however, protein digestibility was reduced as microalgae content increased. Pasta with spirulina exhibited high phenolic compounds content and antioxidant activity compared to control pasta, which could be used to enhance the nutritional profile of the product.
