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...

Background: Salt content and pH degree are the quality indicators of bread which their unauthorized levels may have harmful effects on body health. Accordingly, this survey was carried out to evaluate pH and salt contents in bread samples produced in Mashhad, Iran. Methods: Totally 708 bread samples (340 loaves of Lavash, 183 loaves of Taftun, 139 loaves of Barbari and 46 loaves of Sangak br...

Cassava is widely available worldwide but bread quality is impaired when cassava is used in the bread formulation. To overcome this problem, different improvers were tested in the preparation of composite cassava-maize-wheat (CMW) breads. Emulsifiers, diacetyl tartic acid ester of monoglycerides (DATEM), sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), and lecithin (LC); and hydrocolloids, carboxymethylcellu...

many factors can affect wheat gluten properties and functionality. one of the most important, factors is the wheat bug damages. insect injects a salivery proteinase into wheat kernel that causes weakening of gluten, substansial losses in physical quality, dough properties and baking performance. bread baked with the insect-damaged flour has a much lower volume, poor crumb sensory quality (textu...

background & aims of the study: wheat flour makes the basic component of bread. thus, evaluating its quality plays an important role in public health. this paper focused on the physicochemical and microbial analysis of all bread flour types, used in the bakeries of hamedan, iran during 2015-2016. materials & methods: all bread flour types such as barbari, lavash, sangak and tafton bread flours ...

The seed storage proteins (SSPs) of cultivated wheat (Triticum aestivum and T. durum), namely, glutenin and gliadin, impart viscoelastic properties to bread dough, making wheat well suited for bread-making. Extensive studies on wheat SSPs have been carried out and revealed genetic diversity among wheat cultivars. Here, we review the studies of SSPs from more exotic species in the Triticeae trib...
