Development of technology for bakery products

Technical constraints in the development of reduced-fat bakery products.

The present study was funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, its aim being to identify the technical barriers to the development of reduced-fat alternatives for bakery products. Using National Food Survey (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, 1998) statistics on dietary consumption within the home, biscuits, cakes and pastries were identified as contributing signific...

Visual Inspection of Bakery Products by Texture Analysis

The appearance of bread, such as colour and visual texture are important to the consumer when purchasing bread. The perceived colour of bread is a function of its solid-phase crumb, air-phase and viewing conditions, varying with age and ambient lighting. Visual texture aspects include the alignment of fibres with respect to the axis of view and the distribution of small fat regions in both phas...

X-ray microtomography to characterize the microstructure of bakery products

Aims In bakery products, quality attributes of the crust such as crispy texture and colour and of the crumb as softness and springiness are important attributes for consumer’s perception. These attributes mainly set up during the baking stage and are influenced by the baking conditions (oven temperature, steam injection...). Many physical and chemical changes occur to lead to a porous structure...
