barbari is a traditional flat leavened iranian bread and one of the most popular breads consumed in iran and some other countries in the middle east. barbari stales very fast and its shelf life is very short. therefore, addition of bread improvers and anti-staling agents, such as hydrocolloids, is a suitable method for extending the shelf life of the bread. in the present study, the effect of v...

regarding the nutritional value and availability of acorns in west and southwest of iran, the effects of partial substitution of wheat flour with acorn flour was investigated. wheat flour was replaced by treated acorn flour in the formulation of sponge cake and the quality characteristics were evaluated. density of cakes was increased with increasing the acorn flour. as the substitution degree ...

functionality of marve seed gum (salvia macrosiphon boiss) on rheological properties and staling of baguette bread have been studied. three different concentrations of 0.1 %, 0.5% and 1% (w/w, flour basis) were applied and this hydrocolloid affected the quality of the stored bread to some extent. the effects of marve seed gum on the rheological properties of dough was also investigated instrume...

in this study, potential application of image texture analysis as a non-destructive method for automation and prediction of mechanical properties of carrot chips was investigated. samples were fried at different processing conditions and moisture content, colour parameters (i.e. l*, a*, b* and e) and mechanical properties (i.e. hardness and apparent modulus) were determined. hardness and appar...

in this study, ultrafiltrated feta cheese was prepared from cow’s milk ultrafiltraton retentate and soymilk blend. rennet and calcium chloride were used simultaneously as coagulant to coagulate cow’s milk proteins and soymilk proteins, respectively. then, the effect of storage period on physical (texture profile analysis test, penetration test), chemical (total solids, protein, fat) and sensory...

in this research the effect of substituting sugars (glucose and sucrose) by low caloric sweeteners (sorbitol and isomalt) on the physical properties of gazz was studied. textural properties of gaz were investigated using instron and micro-structure was studied by scanning electron microscope (sem). the results of texture investigation showed that the sample containing 25% of sorbitol and 65% of...

This review article focuses on design of food structure, characterisation of oral processing by boli characterisation and dynamic texture perception. Knowledge of the food properties governing bolus formation and bolus properties determining temporal changes in texture perception is of major importance. Such knowledge allows academia to better understand the mechanisms underlying texture percep...
