Flour,starch and alternative (wheatless) breadmaking quality of various cassava clones

Alternative (wheatless) cassava breads were made with cassava flour from eight different cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) clones fortified with soya flour (200 g kg^?1 total flour) using margarine and egg white, or xanthan, as additives. In this study, bread specific volumes were reliably predicted from only the diastatic activity and maximum paste viscosity of the cassava flour, although further variables still need to be investigated. Flours with diastatic activities above ～ 145 mg of maltose, and indirectly low maximum paste viscosities, produced dense, pudding-like structures with completely gelatinised crumbs. The flour diastatic activity was dependent on the moisture content of the freshly harvested tuberous root; above a critical threshold moisture (～ 75 %) content the specific air intake of the loaves decreased sharply. The extent of starch gelatinisation and solubilisation did not critically affect loaf volumes but affected crumb structures.     

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).     

Gluten-Free Bread Making Trials from Cassava (Manihot Esculenta Crantz) Flour and Sensory Evaluation of the Final Product

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of cassava flour in bread making, and the sensory acceptability of the final product. Different baking trials were carried out by using egg white and extra-virgin olive oil, in consideration of their high nutritional value with respect to other food additives (i.e., hydrocolloids). Significant (p < 0.05) improvements of loaf specific volume (from 2.24 to 3.93 mL/g) and crumb firmness (from 9.14 to 4.67 N) were achieved by contemporarily including egg white and extra-virgin olive oil in the formulation. Cassava breads containing both these ingredients obtained the best scores from panelists for all the test breads examined and resulted attractive as the wheat bread prepared as reference.     

Dielectric properties of microwave-baked cake and its constituents over a frequency range of 0.915–2.450 GHz

There is a large market for microwave foods, with one of the most prevalent growth areas being low-density bakery products. The dielectric constant and loss factor of Madeira cake batter and its constituents (sugar, cake concentrate, margarine, flour, egg) were measured at a range of moisture contents (0.429–1.000 kg kg⁻¹, dry basis), temperatures (20–80 °C), and over a frequency range of 915–2450 MHz. In general, for a given material, the dielectric properties of samples increased with increasing frequency. Irrespective of frequency and sample moisture content, the dielectric constant of batter and flour was relatively independent of sample temperature, whereas that of the sugar samples increased with increasing temperature, particularly within the lower moisture range. At 2450 MHz the loss factor of batter and flour samples decreased by a limited amount as temperature was increased, whereas at 915 MHz they were relatively unaffected. The sugar samples showed a significant decrease in loss factor with increasing temperature, irrespective of frequency. During microwave baking, the dielectric properties of Madeira cake batter initially increased sharply and then decreased steadily until the end of the baking process.

Wheat batter physical properties as influenced by starch/flour types and egg contents

Batter liquid–solid phase interactions can play a critical role in determining the functionality, including adherence, appearance and texture of end use coated product. Batter chemical composition is a key factor affecting batter characteristics. The effect of substituting wheat flour with fractions of rice flour, native corn starch, modified waxy corn starch, tapioca starch and lupine flour ranging from 26 to 56% of the solid phase and egg levels ranging from 6 to 35% of the liquid phase on the rheological properties of batter systems was studied. Results indicated that lupine flour had the greatest water holding capacity (WHC) ranging from 93.9 to 119.3% of various lupine flour percent to egg levels used. Flow behaviour index of batter flour treatments ranged from 0.91 to 1.87; values that were significantly (P?<?0.05) greater than a 100% control wheat flour. Consistency coefficient of treatments ranged from 0.01 to 0.37 mPa sⁿ; values that were significantly lower than wheat flour (i.e., 5 mPa sⁿ). Egg level used in this study had minimal effect on treatment rheological properties. The changes in WHC and viscoelastic properties of treatments were attributed to changes in protein and fibre contents and structure as a result of replacing wheat flour with starch/flour. Protein–starch–lipid matrix formation and variation in water absorption kinetics of treatments most probably wrought batter functionality. The increase in pasting properties with the increase in starch/flour contribution suggested an increased contribution of starch in forming a net effect of batter treatments pasting viscosities. Results of this study provide vital information for the potential use of starch types to enhance the rheological properties of coating applications including adhesion and water holding capacity of substituted batter treatment.     

添加谷氨酰胺转氨酶对糙米蛋糕品质的影响

研究在糙米蛋糕的蛋黄糊和蛋清中分别添加不同量的谷氨酰胺转氨酶(transglutaminase,TGase)对蛋糕烘焙品质的影响,并分析比较了TGase添加前后蛋黄糊和蛋清理化特性的变化。结果表明:添加TGase能显著提高糙米蛋糕的比容和弹性,降低其硬度,在蛋黄糊和蛋清中分别添加10和2 U/g TGase时,糙米蛋糕比容达到最大值6.0 mL/g。添加TGase后,蛋黄糊的黏度和乳化稳定性分别提高62.27%和3.86%,蛋清打发后的泡沫稳定性提高8.43%。通过测定发现蛋黄糊中的游离巯基含量明显减少,傅里叶变换红外光谱(fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,FTIR)和体积排阻高效液相色谱(size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography,SE-HPLC)的分析表明,添加了TGase的蛋黄糊中蛋白质β-折叠的比例显著增加,无规卷曲、β-转角的比例下降,并形成了更多大分子质量的蛋白质聚集体。这表明添加TGase促进了蛋黄糊和蛋清中的蛋白形成更多的交联,使蛋白质网络更加紧密,从而改善糙米蛋糕的质构。     

Flour,starch and composite breadmaking quality of various cassava clones

Bread was made using a straight-dough baking process from a local soft wheat flour partially substituted at four levels with flour from nine different cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) clones. The physicochemical properties of the blended flouts, including starch quality, were determined and related to dough rheology, bread volume and crumb characteristics. Breadmaking quality at substitution levels of 100 and 200 g kg^?1 of mixed flour was reliably predicted from the cassava flour diastatic activity only. Flours with relatively high diastatic activities, ie above ～ 145 mg of maltose, had deleterious breadmaking effects. Baking absorption effects were more critical at substitution levels of 300 and 400 g kg^?1. Cassava flour diastatic activity was highly dependent on the moisture contents of the respective tuberous roots, and affected the extent of starch gelatinisation in the breadcrumbs.     

Optimisation of protein-enriched gluten-free layer cakes using a mixture design

The effect of different protein mixtures (pea, whey and egg white proteins) on the physical characteristics of batters and baked gluten-free layer cakes after substituting 45% of flour was evaluated. A mixture design approach was used to determine the interaction effects of the three proteins on the cakes physical characteristics. For batter density, two interactions were observed, and higher values were found for batters containing a mixture of 60–80% egg white and 20–40% whey than in batter containing only one of these proteins, or a pea content of 70–90% than in batter containing only pea. For batter viscosity, significant interactions between egg white and pea, and between whey and pea proteins were observed, which explains the gentler decrease in viscosity at higher egg white and/or whey protein ratios. Regarding hardness, an interaction between egg white and whey occurred, and increasing whey content helped to reduce hardness to a greater extent than increasing pea content.

Impact of genotype,crop age and planting season on the breadmaking and gelatinisation properties of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Flour

The breadmaking potential of cassava flour (in cassava flour/defatted soya flour/glyceryl monostearate recipes (80/20/3, w/w/w)) is not merely dependent on the age of the crop at harvest, but also on the season of planting and time of harvesting. Effects of cassava genotype are less important for determining bread quality. In flours obtained from crops harvested at different times after planting, differences in gelatinisation onset temperatures measured by Brabender visco-amylography and by differential scanning calorimetry accounted for the observed differences in breadmaking potential of cassava flour of single genotypes and planting seasons to some extent. Cassava starch produced breads with a drier crumb, with a finer structure and with a more bulged crust than cassava flour. Differentiations in baking performance between starch samples, although smaller, still existed. This showed that the breadmaking potential of cassava flour samples is determined both by the starch and by the non-starch fractions. Differentiation of cassava samples in the breadmaking process did not occur at the mixing or fermentation stage of the batter but during baking.     

Rheological and baking characteristics of batter and bread prepared from pregelatinised cassava starch and sorghum and modified using microbial transglutaminase

The effect of different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 U/g) of microbial transglutaminase (MTG) on the creep-recovery properties of gluten-free batter prepared from pregelatinised cassava starch, sorghum and egg white was investigated. The test conducted in the rheometer had an instant loading of 80 Pa for 60 s and recovery of 0 Pa for 140 s. Increasing MTG concentration decreased the batters’ resistance to deformation and compliances but increased zero shear viscosity and elastic recovery. Changes in batter rheological properties were insignificant (P > 0.05) at MTG concentrations beyond 0.5 U/g. Crumb properties of gluten-free bread baked from the batter revealed that increasing MTG concentration increased (P < 0.05) crumb firmness and chewiness, whereas increasing incubation time decreased (P < 0.05) crumb cohesiveness, chewiness and resilience. There were no significant interaction effects (P > 0.05) between enzyme concentration and incubation time.

Rheological properties of angel food cake made with pH unfolded and refolded egg albumen

Angel food cake was made using egg albumen subjected to the pH-induced unfolded and refolded treatment. The effect of treatment on the rheological properties of angel food cake was investigated. Egg albumen solutions were prepared and pH was adjusted to 1.5, 4.5, 8.5 or 12.5 and then held 60 min to unfold the proteins. After holding, the solutions were readjusted to pH 4.5 or 8.5, and held for 45 min to partially refold the proteins. Egg white foam with sucrose was whipped and flour and the rest of sucrose were folded into the foam. The foam batter was heated in a TA Instrument AR 2000 controlled stress rheometer equipped in a parallel geometry. Samples were heated from 21 °C to 150 °C at a rate of 8.5 °C per min and then cooled down to 21 °C to bake the angel food cake. At 21 °C, oscillatory stress sweep was performed. There was no relationship between the G′ value of angel cake batter and its G′ value at 150 °C. Changes in rheological properties of batters and angel food cakes using different combinations of ingredients were studied. The pH unfolding and refolding procedure led to more rigid final products compared to the controls with egg albumen samples not subjected to pH treatment. Adding sucrose to the flour increased the starch gelation temperature up to 82 °C. Higher protein concentrations resulted in better foams in the cake batter, but the batter made with an intermediate protein concentration produced the most rigid angel food cake. Adding egg albumin did not change gelation temperature of the starch. It appears that incorporation of flour with the egg white foam, leads to about a ten times decrease in the strength of the foam, and a decrease in the gelatinization process of starch after adding sugar, are crucial in forming of an angel food cake texture.     

Food components affecting the oil absorption and crispness of fried batter

Frying batters are used to add value to a product by improving texture, flavour, weight and volume and reducing water loss during frying which, in turn, lessens oil absorption. The physical characteristics of fried batters were studied using model systems based on rice flours. Crispness was positively correlated with amylose content, while oil absorption was negatively correlated with amylose content. Addition of pregelatinised rice flour improved crispness but resulted in increased oil absorption because of the porous nature of the fried product. Amongst the proteins (egg yolk, gluten, skimmed milk, whey and ovalbumin) studied, ovalbumin was able to reduce oil absorption and improve the crispness of the fried batter. Addition of calcium chloride also reduced oil absorption and improved crispness, while a little oil reduced the oil content of the fried batter and improved its taste. Addition of ovalbumin, oil or calcium chloride beyond the optimal levels reduced crispness and increased oil absorption in a linear manner. Modified tapioca starch and diglyceride emulsifiers improved crispness but increased oil absorption. The amount of water added to the formulation affected the physical characteristics of the fried batter. The optimal formulation for a crisp frying batter with reasonably low oil absorption was an amylose/amylopectin ratio of about 18: 67; with (g kg⁻¹) 850 pregelatinised rice flour; up to 150 modified tapioca starch; 30 ovalbumin; 1 calcium chloride; 20 oil; 20 emulsifier and a water/flour ratio of 2:1. © 1998 Society of Chemical Industry.     

Effect of flaxseed and wheat flour blends on dough rheology and bread quality

The rheological and baking properties of flaxseed/wheat composite flours were studied. Flaxseed flour was used to replace 50, 100, 150 and 200 g kg^?1 of wheat flour in bread. Farinographic studies showed that water absorption, dough development time and mixing tolerance index increased as the amount of flaxseed flour increased, while dough stability decreased at 100, 150 and 200 g kg^?1 of flaxseed flour substitution. The extensographic energy of dough also decreased at 150 and 200 g kg^?1 flaxseed levels. The addition of increasing amounts of flaxseed flour caused a decrease in extensibility. Doughs containing 100, 150 and 200 g kg^?1 flaxseed flour showed resistance to extension comparable to that of control dough. The specific volume of flaxseed flour breads was similar to that of control bread. Crust L, a, b values of breads with flaxseed flour were lower than those of control bread. Breads with flaxseed flour gave lower crumb L and b values and higher a values than control bread. The sensory properties showed that an acceptable bread could be produced using flaxseed flour up to a level of 200 g kg^?1. Copyright © 2007 Society of Chemical Industry

Optimization of Gluten-Free Bread Prepared from Cornstarch, Rice Flour, and Cassava Starch

ABSTRACT: The proportions of cornstarch, cassava starch, and rice flour were optimized for production of gluten-free bread (with 0% and 0.5% soy flour) to maximize specific volume (Y₁,Y₁'), crumb-grain score (Y₂,Y₂'), and bread score (Y₃,Y₃'). A central composite design involving cornstarch/cassava starch ratio (X₁) and rice flour/cassava starch ratio (X₂) was used, and 2nd-order models for Y₁ and Y₁' were employed to generate response surfaces. The maxima of response surfaces for crumb-grain score and bread score indicate that optimal gluten-free bread can be prepared from 74.2% cornstarch, 17.2% rice flour, and 8.6% cassava starch. Addition of soy flour at the 0.5% level also improved bread texture.     

Relationship between Rice Flour Particle Sizes and Expansion Ratio of Pure Rice Bread

We examined a method to produce bread from crystalline rice flour without using thickening agents such as gluten, polysaccharide thickening, and amorphous rice flour. Rice grains were pulverized by a jet mill to produce flour. Samples of rice flours of various particle size distributions were prepared by using a size shifter. The degree of starch damage and the dynamic viscoelasticity of rice batter were measured in this work. We also baked bread of the flour of each size distribution to study processability for making bread. The batter made by the pulverized flour of rice particle size ranging from 75 to 106 μm had the highest expansion ratio and a good processability for baking breads compared to other particle size batters. The rice bread with high expansion ratio was produced by controlling particle size of crystalline rice flour without using thickening agents.
