This study examined the effect of cell-wall-degrading enzymes added to temper water on wheat milling performance and flour quality. An enzyme cocktail consisting of cellulase, xylanase, and pectinase and five independent variables (enzyme concentration, incubation time, incubation temperature, tempered wheat moisture content, and tempering water pH) were manipulated in a response surface method...

In response to the growing interest of modern society in functional food products, this study attempts to develop a bakery product with high dietary fibre content added in the form of an oat fibre powder. Oat fibre powder with particle sizes of 75 µm (OFP1) and 150 µm (OFP2) was used, substituting 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20% of the flour. The physical properties of the dough and the final bakery produ...

Bread was produced from wheat flour and fermented unripe banana using the straight dough method. Matured unripe banana was peeled, sliced, steam blanched, dried and milled, and sieved to obtain flour. The flour was mixed with water and made into slurry and allowed to stand for 24 h after which it was divided into several portions and blended with wheat flour in different ratios. Proximate and m...

To improve the nutritional and functional properties of pasta, bread wheat flour was substituted with wholemeal flour from Amaranthus mantegazzianus (WMAF) at 15, 30, 40 and 50% w/w. Proteins, dietary fibre, glycemic index (GI) and carbohydrate and protein digestibility were determined in the resulting pasta. Squalene content was also measured, in view of the beneficial health properties of thi...

All over the world, healthy foods, functional diet foods and many similar terms are on agenda. Consumers offered different types of for a diet. To this end, studies to improve properties bread have gained momentum. One ways is use flours with more than wheat flour. However, effects added rheology dough also different. The aim study determine (buckwheat (10-30%), carob (3, 6, 9, 12), chickpea (1...

The wheat gluten proteins correspond to the major storage proteins that are deposited in the starchy endosperm cells of the developing grain. These form a continuous proteinaceous matrix in the cells of the mature dry grain and are brought together to form a continuous viscoelastic network when flour is mixed with water to form dough. These viscoelastic properties underpin the utilization of wh...

BACKGROUND The bread-making process influences bread components, including phenolics that significantly contribute to its antioxidant properties. Five bread model systems made from different rye cultivars were investigated to compare their impact on concentration of ethanol-soluble (free and ester-bound) and insoluble phenolics. RESULTS Breads produced by a straight dough method without acid ...

Wheat storage proteins of twelve winter wheat cultivars grown at the experimental field of the Agricultural Institute Osijek in 2009 were studied for their contribution to the baking quality. Composition of high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) was analyzed by SDS-PAGE method, while the proportions of endosperm storage proteins were determined by RP-HPLC method. Regarding the proport...

BACKGROUND Tarhana is a fermented cereal product that is used for the preparation of one of the favourite soups in Turkish cuisine. Tarhana is a mixture of wheat flour, yoghurt, baker's yeast, salt, and various vegetables, spices and seasonings. It is obtained by mixing all ingredients in the recipe and afterwards the mixture is let to ferment at room temperature. Following fermentation tarhana...

T7ze behavior of a hard wheat flour dough has been measured in lubricated uniCLrial compression experiments at compressional rates (crosshead speeds) of 0.2, 2 and 20 em/min. T7ze appropriate differential equation, derived for an upper convected MCLnvell model, while taking into account the changing strain rate during the compression at constant crosshead speed, was solved numerically. With a s...
