青稞粉粒径及其高添加量对戚风蛋糕面糊特性和品质的影响

针对蛋糕制备中增加高纤原料含量容易带来的结构塌陷等品质不稳定问题,该研究选择高膳食纤维含量的青稞粉为主要粉料,探究青稞粉粒径及其高添加量对戚风蛋糕面糊特性和蛋糕品质的影响。以小麦粉基戚风蛋糕为对照,研究了不同粒径青稞粉（QKF80、QKF100、QKF120）在不同添加量（50%、75%、100%）下,面糊的比重、气泡分布、黏度以及蛋糕的比容、气孔结构、质构、感官品质的变化。结果表明,青稞粉粒径越大,膳食纤维含量越高,青稞粉的吸水吸油能力越强。随着青稞粉添加量的增多,面糊稳定性降低、比重及黏度增加,蛋糕比容减小、硬度增加、内部气孔变大,塌陷程度增加,感官品质下降。小粒径青稞粉可赋予面糊适当黏度,使之在缺乏面筋蛋白的情况下也能稳定。QKF120三种添加量下,面糊比重范围0.33~0.36,糊中气泡分布均匀,成品蛋糕比容4.8~5.2 mL/g,内部气孔结构致密均匀,质构特性及感官评分与小麦粉基蛋糕无显著性差异。该研究可为开发高含量青稞粉戚风蛋糕提供理论依据和实践参考。     

Influence of quinoa roasting on sensory and physicochemical properties of allergen‐free,gluten‐free cakes

The objectives of this study were to determine pasting properties of non‐roasted (NR) and roasted quinoa (RQ) and to investigate the effect of RQ on consumer acceptance and physicochemical properties of an allergen‐free, gluten‐free cake formulation. Quinoa seeds were roasted at 177 °C for 15 (R15), 30 (R30) and 45 min (R45), and flours were analysed for pasting properties. Five cakes including a commercial chocolate cake (CCC) and cakes made with NR and RQ flours were evaluated for preference by fifty panelists. Quality parameters included colour, water activity, moisture content, firmness, weight and height. Peak and final viscosity increased with roasting time. The NR cake had the highest sensory scores for appearance, colour and texture. On flavour and overall acceptability, CCC was the highest. Regarding quality data, CCC, NR and R15 cakes had similar L* values, while CCC had the lowest a*, b*, a_w, moisture content and firmness values.     

Gluten‐free bread: multiple time–intensity analysis,physical characterisation and acceptance test

The formulation of gluten‐free breads is challenging, once the gluten network is responsible for the physical and sensory properties of bread. This study presents a novel concept for making gluten‐free breads using sugar substitutes. The quality of gluten‐free breads was analysed by means of physical (specific volume and colour), textural (firmness, elasticity and chewiness) and sensory properties (time‐intensity analysis and acceptance test). Time‐intensity analysis showed that the sample developed with raw sugar had a higher intensity of sweetness, and the sample with stevia had a higher intensity of yeast flavour. The sample with frutooligosaccharides (FOS) presented a higher acceptance by consumers. Sample with stevia presented the higher intensity of yeast flavour (8.10) and the lesser mean of specific volume (2.83 cm³.g^?1); whereas sample with sugar who presented higher intensity of sweetness stimulus (5.20) also presented the higher mean of specific volume (3.80 cm³.g^?1). The addition of prebiotic and sweetener opens up new opportunities to develop gluten‐free breads that may present similar properties to those of wheat‐based breads.     

Ability to detect and identify the presence of particles influences consumer acceptance of yoghurt

The common practice of particle addition into semisolid foods is known to influence sensory textural properties, but the resulting influence on consumer acceptability is not well understood. A systematic trial was therefore designed, involving a set of nine yoghurt samples, to investigate the effect of particle addition on consumer acceptability. Agar microgels were fabricated and added to yoghurt at varying levels of modulus (210 kPa or 550 kPa, fabricated with 5% or 10% agar, respectively), particle size (30 μm or 100 μm) and particle concentration (2% or 5%, w/w). The yoghurt samples were presented to consumers (n = 117), who rated acceptability, and subsequently selected from the attributes particles, drying, sweet, smooth, no particles and none of these by ‘check all that apply’ (CATA), for each sample. On average, all samples were generally well-liked by consumers, although samples containing 5% (w/w) particles were less acceptable than those containing 2% (w/w) particles. Consumer cluster analysis was used to identify groupings of consumers based on difference in acceptability scores. Acceptability scores for the yoghurts were lower for the consumers who selected the attribute particles in the higher modulus samples. Addition of particles (30 μm or 100 μm) at 550 kPa modulus and 5% (w/w) particles was identified as the threshold of particle detection in this yoghurt system and the point at which acceptability scores declined.     

Industrial clarification of anthocyanin‐rich grape pomace extracts by crossflow membrane filtration

A comparative study on the clarification of anthocyanin‐rich grape pomace extracts was carried out by tubular, hollow fibre and spiral wound industrial crossflow membrane units. Three polysulfone membranes were tested: a 500‐kDa molecular mass cut‐off (MMCO), and a 0.2‐ and 0.6‐μm pore size cut‐offs (PSCO). The 500‐ kDa MMCO and the 0.2‐μm PSCO membranes produced particle‐free extracts, while the 0.6‐μm membrane showed deficient clarification. The 500‐kDa MMCO membrane produced up to 3.7% loss of most of the individual anthocyanins, while the 0.6‐ and 0.2‐μm PSCO membranes produced up to 2% only of some of the anthocyanins with higher molecular masses. Permeate steady fluxes of up to 53 L h^?1 m^?2 were obtained. Particles with sizes of 0.5–1.5 μm and the macromolecular anthocyanin–tannin complexes had a major impact on membrane performance. The obtained results are scalable to industrial installations.     

Original article: Influence of flour mill streams on cake quality

Wheat‐milling process generates different flour streams that differ in particle size, composition and functional and cake‐making properties. Particle size, composition and pasting properties of flour fractions (two from break and three from reduction system) obtained during milling of three wheats varying in protein content were determined. Shape, textural, colour and sensory analyses were performed on cakes prepared with the different mill streams. The final break and reduction streams had the highest protein and ash contents, pasting temperatures and the lowest starch percentage. Cakes prepared with the last streams showed higher batter density and lower volume. These results could indicate good air incorporation but deficient air distribution. Last streams cakes showed a darker, more reddish and yellowish crumb that was significantly related to flour colour characteristics. Because of these differences, such cakes obtained the lowest sensory scores. In this study, it has been verified that, to adapt flours to cake preparation, the final streams should be eliminated. The particle size of each stream is the most determinant parameter to obtain cakes with better volume and texture, being the flours with small particle size the most adequate.     

Influence of Flour Particle Size on Quality of Gluten-Free Rice Cakes

There is a growing interest in developing gluten-free bakery products in recent time. In cake making, gluten network formation is not essential, but hardly any information exists about the influence of the gluten-free flour characteristics affecting the final cake product. This study analyses the influence of two different rice cultivars (short and long) with different flour particle size in batter characteristics (specific volume, viscosity and internal structure) and in sponge and layer cake formulas (volume, shape, texture and colour). During starch gelatinization, the finest flours (median particle size finer than 100 μm) increased their viscosity and reached the peak viscosity (RVA) later than the coarsest flours. Moreover, the finest flours gave batters with lower specific volumes but with an air distribution in smaller and uniform bubbles in both formulas. These flours also produced higher volume and lower firmness in sponge cakes and greater symmetry index both in sponge and layer cakes. The rice type also influenced batter and cakes characteristics but in a lesser extent. The different results obtained depending on the rice flour particle size, type flour and cake formulation indicate the need to define them both in industrial specifications and in research studies.     

Navy Bean Flour Particle Size and Protein Content Affect Cake Baking and Batter Quality1

Whole navy bean flour and its fine and coarse particle size fractions were used to completely replace wheat flour in cakes. Replacement of wheat flour with whole bean flour significantly increased the protein content. The protein content was adjusted to 3 levels with navy bean starch. The effect of navy bean flour and its fractions at 3 levels of protein on cake batter rheology and cake quality was studied and compared with wheat flour samples. Batters prepared from navy bean flour and its fractions had higher viscosity than the cake flour. Reducing the protein content by addition of starch significantly lowered the viscosity of cake batters. The whole navy bean flour and coarse bean fraction cakes were softer than cakes made with wheat flour but had reduced springiness. Principal component analysis showed a clear discrimination of cakes according to protein. It also showed that low protein navy bean flour cakes were similar to wheat flour cakes. Navy bean flour with protein content adjusted to the level of cake (wheat) flour has potential as a healthy alternative in gluten‐free cakes.     

Structural development of sucrose‐sweetened and sucrose‐free sponge cakes during baking

The influence of sucrose, wheat starch and sorbitol upon the heat‐ and mass‐exchanging processes forming the structure of sponge cake was studied. Under the influence of wheat starch and sorbitol the structure of the sucrose‐free sponge cake was formed at more uniform total moisture release. This process was done at lower temperatures and smoother change of the sponge cake height with respect to the sucrose‐sweetened sponge cake. The porous and steady structure of both cakes was finally formed at identical time – between 18^th and 19^th minute, at the applied conditions for baking of each batter (metal pan with diameter 15.4 cm and depth 6.2 cm containing 300 g of batter and placed in an electric oven “Rahovetz – 02”, Bulgaria for 30 min at 180°C). The water‐losses at the end of baking (10.30% and 10.40% for the sucrose‐sweetened cake and sucrose‐free cake, respectively) and the final temperatures reached in the crumb central layers (96.6°C and 96.3°C for the sucrose‐sweetened cake and sucrose‐free cake, respectively) during baking of both samples were not statistically different. The addition of wheat starch and sorbitol in sucrose‐free sponge cake lead to the statistically different values for the porosity (76.15% and 72.98%) and the volume (1014.17 cm³ and 984.25 cm³) of the sucrose‐sweetened and sucrose‐free sponge cakes, respectively. As a result, the sucrose‐free sponge cake formed during baking had a more homogeneous and finer microstructure with respect to that of the sucrose‐sweetened one.     

Creep‐recovery parameters of gluten‐free batter and crumb properties of bread prepared from pregelatinised cassava starch,sorghum and selected proteins

The effect of egg white, skim milk powder, soy protein isolate and soy protein concentrate on creep‐recovery parameters of gluten‐free batter made from sorghum and pregelatinised cassava starch was studied. Batter treated with egg white had the highest deformation and compliance parameters and lowest zero shear viscosities and differed significantly (P < 0.05) from the other treatments. However, this batter recovered its elasticity sufficiently and its elastic portion of maximum creep compliance did not differ significantly (P < 0.05) from the other treatments. Unlike the other treatments, egg white did not decrease bread volume and exhibited the lowest crumb firmness and staling rate. Optimisation of the amount of egg white with diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono and diglycerides (DATEM) showed that creep‐recovery parameters and crumb hardness were affected by the linear, quadratic and interaction effects of the input variables. Treatment with 6% and 0.1% w/w fwb egg white and DATEM, respectively, gave gluten‐free batter with the least elastic portion of maximum creep compliance (J_e/J_max = 11.65%) which corresponded to the lowest crumb firmness (790.8 g).     

Rheology and bread‐making performance of gluten‐free formulations affected by different levels of sugar beet fibre,hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and water

This study investigated the application of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) (2%, 3%, 4%), sugar beet fibre (SBF) (3%, 5%, 7%) and water (210%, 220%, 230%) into maize‐based gluten‐free (GF) formulations and their effects on the GF batter rheology and bread quality. HPMC incorporation in higher amounts reduced the compliance values of GF batter samples and increased the values of dynamic moduli indicating an improvement in the GF batter elastic characteristic. The same course of action with a less pronounced influence on mentioned rheological parameters had SBF addition. GF bread quality evaluation in terms of specific loaf volume and crumb texture (hardness, cohesiveness and springiness) reveals that HPMC and SBF incorporation at higher levels enhanced these quality parameters. The inclusion of HPMC and SBF coupled with adequate water content can improve the nutritional value of GF bread without negative influence on bread quality.

Production of gluten‐free bread using soybean flour

The effect of soybean flour on gluten‐free bread quality was studied. Full‐fat enzyme‐active, semiactive and inactive soybean flours were evaluated. Active soybean flour improved the volume and structure of gluten‐free bread, while semiactive and inactive soybean flours did not have positive effects on bread quality. The particle size and concentration of the soybean flours also affected bread quality. Levels of addition between 125 and 150 g kg^?1 and particle sizes between 90 and 120 µm of active soybean flour yielded the best results. Heating the active soybean flour destroyed its improving effect. The analysis of proteins by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and size exclusion chromatography showed that heating soybean flour at 60–200°C caused protein aggregation. The overall results indicated that the addition of active soybean flour improved gluten‐free bread quality, and this effect seemed to be due to both the structural proteins and the enzymatic activities of the soybean flour.

Effect of fibre size on the quality of fibre-enriched layer cakes

The effects of fibre type (wheat bran, oat bran, cellulose microcrystalline), size (50, 80, 250 μm) and percentage of substitution (0%, 12%, 24%, 36%) on batter and layer cake characteristics were determined. Batter density, and the rheological parameters (G′ and G″) increased with fibre size, but the flow index decreased. Especially with 20% wheat bran, large-sized fibre gave the most firm, chewy and yellow cakes, while providing the most significant sensory differences with the control. Cakes with microcrystalline cellulose were the most similar to the control. All cakes obtained high sensory scores, indicating that they were not disagreeable for consumers. It is possible to obtain high quality cakes when adding up to 20% of fibre, but selection of an adequate fibre is necessary.     

Influence of maize flour particle size on gluten‐free breadmaking

BACKGROUND: Maize, one of the suitable grains for coeliac consumption, is, together with rice, the most cultivated cereal in the world. However, the inclusion of maize flour in gluten‐free bread is a minority and studies are scarce. This paper analyses the influence of different maize flour types and their particle sizes on the quality of two types of bread without gluten (80% and 110% water in the formulation) obtained from them. We also analysed the microstructure of the dough and its behaviour during the fermentation. RESULTS: Finer flours had a lower dough development during fermentation in all cases. Among the different types of flour, those whose microstructure revealed compact particles were those which had higher specific bread volume, especially when the particle size was greater. Among the formulations, the dough with more water gave breads with higher specific volume, an effect that was more important in more compact flours. The higher volume breads had lower values of hardness and resilience. CONCLUSION: The type of corn flour and mainly its particle size influence significantly the dough development of gluten‐free bread during fermentation and therefore the final volume and texture of the breads obtained. The flours having coarser particle size are the most suitable for making gluten‐free maize bread. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry     

Current and Forward‐Looking Approaches to Technological and Nutritional Improvements of Gluten‐Free Bread with Legume Flours: A Critical Review

The gluten‐free market currently offers a range of products which can be safely consumed by patients affected by celiac disease. Nevertheless, challenges for optimal formulation remain on the way in terms of appreciable texture, flavor, and adequate nutritional characteristics. Within that framework, legumes have recently attracted attention among scientists as structure‐ and texture‐forming agents, as source of nutrients and bioactive compounds, and as a low‐glycemic‐index ingredient. This work aims at providing an updated and comprehensive overview of the advantages and disadvantages in the use of legumes in gluten‐free breadmaking. It also shows how legumes can contribute to tackling the main technological, nutritional, and organoleptic challenges. From this critical analysis, it emerged that viscoelastic properties of gluten‐free bread batter can be enhanced by the use of carob germ, chickpea, lupin, and soybean. Gluten‐free bread organoleptic acceptability can be improved by incorporating leguminous flours, such as carob, chickpea, lupin, and soybean. Moreover, a better nutritional quality of gluten‐free bread can be obtained by the addition of chickpea and soybean. Gaps and needs in the use of legumes in gluten‐free breadmaking emerged and were gathered together to have a sound basis for future studies. The technological and nutritional potential of sourdough should be more extensively exploited. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo studies should be prompted to understand the health benefits of bread formulated with legumes. A holistic approach, interfacing food science, nutrition, and health might help to have, on the market, products with improved sensory properties and nutritional profile.     

Comparing the efficiency of different food‐grade emulsifiers to form and stabilise orange oil‐in‐water beverage emulsions: influence of emulsifier concentration and storage time

The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of three different food‐grade emulsifiers to form and stabilise an orange oil‐in‐water emulsion. The emulsifier type and concentration had a profound effect on the initial particle size of the oil droplets with Tween 80 being the most effective in reducing the particle size (1% w/w, 1.88 ± 0.01 μm) followed by sodium caseinate (10% w/w, 2.14 ± 0.03 μm) and gum arabic (10% w/w, 4.10 ± 0.24 μm). The long‐term stability of the concentrated beverages was monitored using Turbiscan analysis. The Turbiscan stability indices after 4 weeks of storage followed the order: Tween 80 (1.70 ± 0.08) < gum arabic (4.83 ± 0.53) < sodium caseinate (6.20 ± 1.56). The protein emulsifier was more capable to control the oxidation process, and this was attributed to the excess amount of emulsifier present in the aqueous phase. This study provides useful insights into the formulation of flavour emulsions by the beverage industry.     

Effect of defatted almond flour on cooking,chemical and sensorial properties of gluten‐free fresh pasta

The aim of this work was to analyse the influence of defatted almond flour on soya bean‐based gluten‐free pasta. Optimal cooking time of pasta varied between 2.0 and 3.5 min, while cooking loss ranged 6.1% and 19.7%. The total protein content of samples varied from 30.4% to 41.0% (dry basis, db) in cooked pasta. The total phenols content of cooked samples varied between 1.66 and 2.99 mg ellagic acid equivalent/g, while the antioxidant activity (DPPH?) ranged between 19.1% and 41.9%. The sensory test showed no significant differences between the formulated pasta samples among brightness (3.20–3.27), surface appearance (1.14–1.20), hardness (2.14–2.36) and elasticity (1.56–1.71). Pasta developed is an innovative product that improves nutritional and functional properties of gluten‐free pasta compared to gluten‐free and traditional wheat flour pasta available on market.     

Variation in gluten protein and peptide concentrations in Belgian barley malt beers

Gluten is the main family of storage proteins found in barley. During malting and brewing, some of the barley malt's proteinaceous material is hydrolysed into peptides or to amino acids. Most of the gluten proteins are removed with the spent grains and with hot‐ and cold‐breaks. However, some gluten proteins and especially gluten‐derived peptides can remain throughout the brewing process and will hamper the gluten‐free (≤20 ppm) status of the beer. In this work, three production batches (a, b and c) of 51 Belgian barley malt beers from 24 breweries were analysed with the sandwich (R7001) and competitive (R7021) Ridascreen gliadin R5‐ELISA to quantify gluten proteins and peptides. Although the majority of the beers contained low‐gluten protein concentrations of ≤20 ppm (a/45, b/47, c/48), only a minority were truly gluten‐free with ≤20 ppm gluten peptides (a/18, b/17, c/15). The grain bill had no influence on the measured gluten concentration, but the use of (combined) clarification techniques and presence of wheat malt in the grist was respectively a positive and negative influence. Ten beers, from four breweries, were gluten free in all analysed samples. These included two wheat beers, reflecting the importance of effective clarification in the management of gluten. These results explore the feasibility of the production of gluten‐free barley malt beers. Copyright © 2018 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling     

Effect of batter freezing conditions and resting time on cake quality

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of batter freezing and conditions and resting time before baking on quality of two kinds of cakes (layer and sponge cakes), including freezing temperature (−18 °C, −26 °C), storage time at sub-zero temperatures (30 and 100 days), and resting time (60 and 120 min). Characteristics of the batter (pH, density, viscosity, and microstructure) and cakes (density, texture, and colour) were analysed. Freezing process increases batter density and viscosity, and consequently decreases cake volume and height, but increases hardness. Cakes from frozen batters have a darker and more yellow crumb and lighter-coloured crust than cakes from non-frozen batters. Freezing process has a greater effect on batter and cake quality characteristics than storage/freezing conditions or resting time. In layer cakes, freezing mainly affected volume and colour, whilst in sponge cakes, there was a more marked effect on texture. Differences between the two kinds of cake could be related to a distinct internal structure. Resting time mainly affected batter characteristics, although there were no apparent differences in the quality of the cakes obtained.
