Development of wheat bread recipe with pumpkin paste

Abstract

The object of this study is the production technology of bread with pumpkin paste. The task to enrich bread with pumpkin paste was resolved. The influence of different amounts of pumpkin paste on the technological parameters of the quality of wheat bread and culinary quality was investigated. It was established that the addition of pumpkin paste influenced the technological parameters of the quality of bread. Bread baking loss decreased from 10.8 % to 9.9 with the addition of 5 % pumpkin paste. In the variant with 60 % pumpkin paste, the bread baking loss was 3.8 %. With the addition of 5–25 % of pumpkin paste to the bread recipe, bread shrinkage increased significantly to 4.2–4.3 % compared to control (3.5 %). A significantly larger volume was obtained by adding 25–30 % pumpkin paste. With this amount of paste, this indicator was 207–211 cm3/100 g of dough and 346–348 cm3/100 g of flour. With the addition of 35–60 % of pumpkin paste, the volume of bread was 330–338 cm3/100 g of flour. A significantly higher specific volume was obtained by adding 25–30 % of pumpkin paste – 2.0 cm3/g of dough and 2.3–2.4 cm3/g of bread. The addition of pumpkin paste increased the mass of bread from 133 to 135–166 g. It was established that the organoleptic assessment of bread did not change from the amount of pumpkin paste. The smell, taste, pores in size and uniformity correspond to the highest level of assessment – 9 points. The elasticity and consistency of the crumb was at the level of 7 points. The surface of the crust corresponded to 3 points, the glossy surface – 3 points. A distinctive feature of the research results is that in the technology of bread it is necessary to add 25–30 % of pumpkin paste. The use of this amount of pumpkin paste provides bread with a volume of 346–348 cm3/100 g of flour. The smell and taste of bread according to this recipe is high – 9 points. The recommendations reported here can be used by small and medium size enterprises for the production of bakery
