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...

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...

Bread quality index was established using the instrumental analysis of bread parameters 12 that influence the consumers’ acceptability. The instrumental methods that describe 13 bread appearance, structure and texture have been chosen in order to enable the 14 identification and quantification of main discrepancies of wheat bread produced by 15 different processes such as fully baked frozen bre...

the main aim of this study was to improve the bread quality and to postpone its staling. therefore, sugar beet pulp powder was added to barbari bread dough formulation at five levels of 1, 3, 5 and 10% (w/w, flour basis). then the properties of dough and the resulting bread were studied. the results showed that with increasing the sugar beet pulp powder, the water absorption of the dough and th...

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...

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...

there are many reports on the application of different hydrocolloids in the production of leavened breads; most of which show positive effects on bread quality. however, there is little information to prove such effect on flat breads. the main aim of this study was to improve the quality of barbari dough and bread (iranian flat bread) in terms of texture, taste and general acceptability of fres...

wheat flour was substituted with oat flour by 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% to investigate the effect on dough rheology and bread sensory quality and texture. water absorption and dough development time in oat composite doughs increased with an increasing level of oat flour, whereas dough resistance, extensibility and bread firmness decreased. dough sof-tening increased with an increased level of oat ...

INTRODUCTION The aims of this study were to determine the proximate composition, functional properties and antioxidant activity of pumpkin seeds and rind. Besides, the effects of dietary fibre in pumpkin seeds and rinds on bread qualities and properties were evaluated. METHODS Formulations for bread substituted with 0%, 5% and 10% pumpkin seed and rind, respectively were produced. Sensory eva...

Breads were prepared with various combinations of maize, brown rice and wheat flours in the basic formulation of bread. The baking properties and chemical composition of bread were evaluated and analysed, respectively. The bread volume decreased, where as bread weight and moisture content increased with the increasing level of maize and brown rice flour. The crumb and crust colour of breads wer...
