Analyses of flours and breads

Improvement of Fatty Acid Profile and Studio of Rheological and Technological Characteristics in Breads Supplemented with Flaxseed, Soybean, and Wheat Bran Flours

Functional breads constitute an interesting alternative as vehicle of new essential fatty acids sources. The aim of this study was to improve the fatty acids (FA) profile of bakery products, producing breads with low saturated fatty acid (SFA) content and with high polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content, through partial substitution of wheat flour by other ingredients (soy flour, flax flour,...

Production and evaluation of flours and crunchy snacks from sweet potato (Ipomea batatas) and maize flours

The present study was conducted to assess the suitability of blends of two sweet potato (creamand yellowflesh) varieties and maize flours in the preparation of crunchy snacks. Each of the sweet potato varieties was prepared into flour and separately blended with 0, 30 and 50% of maize flour. The blends were evaluated for proximate composition, mineral content, vitamin content, anti-nutrient fac...

Investigating Effects of Quinoa and Buckwheat Flours on Physicochemical and Textural Characteristics of Low-Meat Hamburgers

Background and Objectives: In recent years, consumers demands for ready meals such as hamburgers have increased due to changes in human lifestyle. In low-meat hamburgers, replacement of meat with soy protein can make problems such as dryness, brittleness, darkness and undesirable taste of hamburgers. Soy, often used in these products, is one of the most important allergic compounds that limits ...

Chemical composition and starch digestibility of different gluten-free breads.

The increasing demand for gluten-free products has favoured the design of numerous gluten-free bakery products which intended to mimic the quality characteristics of wheat bakery products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional pattern of gluten-free breads representative of the Spanish market for this type of products. The protein, fat and mineral content of the gluten-fre...
