kefiran is an exogenous microbial metabolite produced mainly by bacteria and fungi during growth. the present study investigated the effects of the addition of 3% kefiran and 3% xanthan on the extensographic characteristics of wheat dough and the shelf life of raised bread. kefir grain was cultivated in a shaking incubator and kefiran extraction was carried using a centrifugal refrigerator. the...

in recent years dietary fibers have been considered due to its beneficial effects. since the amount of fiber in dietary diet is usually less than the recommended amount (30 gr/day), fortification of bread with fiber can play an important role to achieve its health benefits. this project was studied to investigate on the possibility of supplementation of flour with dietary fibers. two different ...

This research aimed to investigate effects of dough improvers (trehalose; TR, sucrose ester; SE and hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose; HPMC) on microstructural, textural, rheological and baking properties of frozen dough with virgin coconut oil using central composite design (CCD). Frozen dough containing dough improvers had higher values of all properties compared to frozen dough without dough imp...

Glycerol is the main compatible solute in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When faced with osmotic stress, for example during semi-solid state bread dough fermentation, yeast cells produce and accumulate glycerol in order to prevent dehydration by balancing the intracellular osmolarity with that of the environment. However, increased glycerol production also results in decreased CO2 production, ...

Surfactants are widely used in bakeries as dough strengtheners and dough improvers but there is a wide range of compounds available according to their mode of action that could potentially improve the quality of not only the simple breads and doughs but also of frozen dough. These types of product usually have a short shelf-life when compared with normal bakery products. With the increase in mo...

The consumer quality of baked products is closely related with dough structure properties. These are developed during dough fermentation and finalized during its baking. In this study, magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) was employed in a study of dough fermentation and baking. A small hot air oven was installed inside a 2.35-T horizontal bore superconducting magnet. Four different samples of c...

Wheat end-use quality mainly derives from two interrelated characteristics: the compositions of gluten proteins and grain hardness. The composition of gluten proteins determines dough rheological properties and thus confers the unique viscoelastic property on dough. One group of gluten proteins, high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS), plays an important role in dough functional proper...

This work examined the effect of mixing time on three different flour dough systems: bread-flour wheat dough, all-purpose flour wheat dough, and cake flour wheat dough. Both ultrasound and conventional rheology techniques were used to examine the effect of mixing on these dough systems. Fundamental ultrasound results were obtained at 3.5 MHz; velocity and attenuation showed peak values at the o...

A new approach to the forming control using a forming process model of rheological food dough is presented. Manipulative operations of rheological objects can be found in many industrial fields such as food industry and medical product industry. For example, automatic operations of rheological objects such as food dough are eagerly required in food industry. Since food dough deforms during oper...

The effect of the dosing vehicle (e.g., dough) on the ability of an in vitro gastrointestinal (IVG) method to predict relative bioavailable Pb associated with soil ingestion was evaluated. Bioaccessible Pb determined by the IVG method was compared with relative bioavailable Pb measured from dosing trials using juvenile swine for 18 contaminated soils ranging from 1270 to 14200 mg Pb kg(-1). Bio...
