Introduction: Bread made ​​from wheat flour is an important source of minerals such as iron and zinc, but its phytic acid content is a contributing factor that can cause decreased absorption of these minerals. This survey aimed to determine phytic acid content in different types of bread and dough consumed in Yazd, Iran. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carrie...

The effect of different extraction rates (64%, 82% and 90%) of wheat flour on the rheological properties of the wheat flour dough was investigated. A complete study of the rheological behavior of the wheat flour dough was performed by using three different instruments namely alveograph, extensograph, and farinograph. The correlation coefficient among the various parameters of applied methods wa...

Cereal Chem. 66(3):224-227 A reconstituted whole wheat bread (containing 16.3% bran plus 12.7% was included in the baking process. Addition of a high level of enzymeshorts) with a loaf volume equal to the control was obtained by allowing active soy flour eliminated the need for the no-yeast sponge stage. Certain indigenous lipoxygenase (soaking the nonflour milling fractions) or added salts and...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate Raman spectroscopy in determining changes that occur structure gluten proteins induced during bread dough mixing. spectra were measured directly within dough. Three particular phases mixing studied: under-mixing, optimum and over-mixing. A thiol blocking reagent, Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) then used reduce disulphide bonds confirm important...

Rheology of the solid and melted cheese depends upon their functional properties. Farinograph is used for quality determination of wheat flour dough. Determination of the rheological properties of dough and dough like food materials from Farinograph is easy while study of cheese characteristics is very difficult and complicated. The present study is therefore designed for the possibility of qua...

Hybridization study of two Saccharomyces cerevisiae baker’s yeast strains isolated in Thailand, IFRPD 6080 and IFRPD 6081, was carried out. Rare-mating technique has been employed with haploid and diploid mating strains of Japanese baker’s yeast. Polyploid (triploid and tetraploid) hybrids produced from rare-mating were selected and induced for sporulation. Screening of segregants obtained from...

A three-dimensional (3-D) bio-imaging technique was developed for visualizing and quantifying the 3-D distribution of yeast in frozen bread dough samples in accordance with the progress of the mixing process of the samples, applying cell-surface engineering to the surfaces of the yeast cells. The fluorescent yeast was recognized as bright spots at the wavelength of 520 nm. Frozen dough samples ...

Whole-grain bakery products and cereals are valuable sources of dietary fiber, vitamins, and trace elements. However, the presence of phytate, could decreases mineral bioavailability due to its chelating properties. In this study, the effect of fermentation and baking on the phytate content of different bakery products was measured by HPLC; the mineral availability in bakery products during pro...

Investigations were conducted on the level of the overall proteolytic activity in flour fractions as well as fine and bruise bran, obtained from four varieties of wheat (‘Zyta’, ‘Pegassus’, ‘Sukces’, ‘Tonacja’), subjected to pre-harvest sprouting. Moreover, an analysis was conducted on the effect of pre-harvest sprouting on the functional properties of flour, determining the physical properties...

With the aim of improving nutritional profile and antioxidant capacity of gluten-free cookies, blueberry pomace, byproduct of juice production, was processed into a new food ingredient by drying and grinding and used for a gluten-free cookie formulation. Since the quality of a baked product is highly influenced by the baking conditions, the objective of this work was to optimize the baking time...
