The architecture of baked breads made of fresh dough and frozen dough was depicted by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Pieces of bread (16 mm cubic cakes) were soaked in organic solvents containing various concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Co and Fe) and images of the grain structure of the breads were obtained. Of the organic solvents tested, acetone was preferable because of its single pea...

Gluten is the main functional component of wheat, and is the main source of the viscoelastic properties in a dough. Dough properties are primarily governed by the structure of gluten, and interactions within the protein complex. While starch and water are the main components of doughs, the physical properties of a dough arise from interactions between gluten proteins, particularly the disul®de-...

We investigated the relationships of three allelic variations in Glu-B3 (ab, g, and h) with dough properties and bread-making quality-related characteristics using near-isogenic lines (NILs) of 'Yumechikara' that commonly carry Glu-A1a, Glu-B1b, Glu-D1d, Glu-A3f, Glu-B3ab and Glu-D3a. Measurement of peak time (PT) in a 2-g mixograph indicated that Glu-B3g was the most effective for a strong dou...

among cereals, oats are unique for their benefiting from high protein as well as lipid content. however, insufficient gluten content creates a big challenge to making breads out of this kind of cereals. flour made of one type of bread wheat cultivar plus two types of improved oat lines were employed in this study to make composite oat-wheat flour bread. according to the data obtained from farin...

Crisp bread, as a new type of bread, had a stronger hardness, fracturability and a finer texture compared with the tradition hard bread. The objective of this study was to test whether Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate could change the microstructure of dough and improve the texture of crisp bread. Two probes used were P/2 and P/2N and these graphs were calculated by several means. Results of these cal...
