Application and safety of pectin substances from vegetable raw materials in bread production

Abstract

Currently, pectin substances and their compounds are often used in cooking as an anionic surfactant. In the technology of food preparation, such properties of pectin substances as swelling, thickening, gel-forming, crystalforming, water-absorbing ability, and emulsifying ability are of great importance. Like any gel-forming fiber, pectin helps remove heavy metals from the body such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc. MCP may be better suited for these purposes, as it has been used in four clinical studies of heavy metal detoxification. Considering the accumulation of radioactive elements, heavy metal salts and pesticides in the environment and the human body, Jerusalem artichoke, which is rich in pectin substances, carotene and dietary fiber, is of particular interest. It is also economically beneficial as it is a domestic raw material. The goal of scientific research is to obtain a new type of functional bread with the addition of vegetable pectin. In this article, it was determined that the addition of pectin to dough has an effect on biochemical, colloidal, as well as microbiological processes. It also affects the physicochemical and rheological properties and reduces the content of contaminants. The work investigated that when pectin substances are added to the dough, its initial acidity increases. Acidity varied 2.2-2.4. It was also noted that in the test sample the fermentation process was more active; the activity of the fermentation process was associated with the addition of sugar along with pectin. As a result of this work, in order to improve the quality of bread and extend shelf life, pectin from raw materials of plant origin was added, the properties of bread samples with Jerusalem artichoke pectin with high performance were studied, and their organoleptic, physicochemical and safety indicators were studied. It was revealed that pectin reduces the content of some toxic elements by up to 100%. Practical significance: the conducted studies showed that the obtained samples of functional bread can be recommended for introduction into production to expand the range of bakery products.
