Abstract
ABSTRACTTaftoon bread is one the main traditional flat breads consumed in Iran and various parts of the Middle East. We studied the effect of different levels (1–3% w/w flour-based) of sesame oil on dough characteristics, baking performance, and staling of Taftoon bread during storage (5 days) in room (25 ± 1°C) or refrigerator (4 ± 1°C). Supplementation of dough with 1 or 2% oil led to improved Farinograph characteristics. Breads with 2% oil showed higher oven spring and specific volume and lower baking loss. The moisture and water-soluble starch content of the oil-added samples were higher, but their firmness was less than the control bread. Supplementation of bread with oil led to a lighter Hunterlab color and improved sensory scores. Generally, the best quality was obtained at the optimum usage level of 2% sesame oil. Bread staling, as monitored by moisture, water-soluble starch, and firmness analysis, was slower in refrigerator than in room.
