Effect of rosehip flour on the properties of wheat dough and bread

Improvers and functional ingredients in whole wheat bread: A review of their effects on dough properties and bread quality

Wheat flour (WF) was substituted with germinated Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) flour (GBF) at different proportions (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%) and used in the preparation of bread. The dough mixing, pasting, and gelatinization properties of the blends were evaluated as well as the nutritional quality, in vitro starch digestibility, phytochemical constituents, antioxidant potential, color, texture, and sensory properties of breads. All the wheat dough containing GBF had higher water absorption capacity, gelatinization temperatures, dough development time, low peak, and setback viscosities. The composite breads had significantly higher dietary fiber, minerals, protein digestibility, corrected amino acid scores, resistant starch, slowly digestible starch, total phenolics, total flavonoids, and antioxidant activities and caused significant reduction in rapidly digestible starch content. The addition of up to 15% GBF had no significant impact on the specific volume of wheat bread. Substitution of WF with GBF influenced color and texture properties of bread. Wheat bread supplemented with 20% GBF had significantly higher scores in taste, aroma, and overall acceptability. This study demonstrated the potential of GBF as a functional ingredient in bread making. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study provides a suitable possibility of partial substitution of wheat flour with germinated Bambara groundnut, to develop functional and acceptable bread. The dough mixing and pasting results in this study would add to knowledge on the dough handling characteristics as there is limited information regarding the mixing properties of wheat dough with germinated Bambara groundnut.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of fish skin gelatin (Gadus morhua, 0.5%, or 1.0%, flour basis) on the properties of wheat (Triticum aestivum) dough and bread. Compared with the control group, the addition of 1.0% gelatin increased the storage modulus and the maximum resistance of dough, resulting in a longer rupture time and a larger final gas-retention volume of the dough. Bread characteristics showed that the specific loaf volume and crumb cell size both increased. Molecular dynamics simulation indicated that gelatin and glutenin segments formed a complex, where a large amount of hydroxyl groups on the surface retarded water mobility in bread. Gelatin-glutentin complexes with the high water-holding capacity inhibited water diffusion from marginal crumb to crust, and decreased starch retrogradation enthalpy and firming rate of crumb. Thus, fish skin gelatin might be a good improver of wheat dough and bread.

Effect of soluble dietary fibre addition on rheological and breadmaking properties of wheat doughs

The effect of amaranth flour substitution on some rheological properties of wheat flour dough and bread was studied by using a home baker. At 5% amaranth flour substitution, the loaf volume was significantly larger than the control; thereafter it decreased distinctly as the amount of amaranth flour substitution increased. The addition of more than 1250 U hemicellulase per kg of flour to the 10% amaranth flour-substituted wheat flour increased the loaf volume significantly . Farinograph data showed that the stability time of the wheat flour dough decreased with 10% amaranth flour substitution . Based on the viscoelastic parameters, such as compression stress, modulus of elasticity, and viscosity coefficients, the 10% amaranth flour-substituted wheat flour doughs were distinctly harder than the control dough. Scanning electron microscopic observations showed that the gluten of the amaranth flour-substituted wheat flour dough seemed to be slightly rigid . The addition of calcium stearoyl-2-lactylate (CSL) and/or hemicellulase to the 10% amaranth flour-substituted wheat flour clearly increased volume of the bread loaf.

The thermal properties of dough are critical for eating and processing quality of wheat flour‐based products. Although the gelatinization properties of wheat starch or flour as affected by starch molecular structures have been investigated, it remains largely unexplored how starch structures determine the gelatinization properties of wheat dough. The gelatinization properties of 10 wheat flours and corresponding doughs with distinct starch fine molecular structures are thus investigated. A parabolic relationship is observed between amylose content and gelatinization temperatures of both wheat flour and dough. Amylopectin molecular size is positively correlated while amylose molecular size negatively correlates with gelatinization onset and peak temperatures of wheat flour. Amylose molecular size is negatively correlated with gelatinization temperatures of wheat dough. Possible mechanisms are further discussed. These results provided first associations between starch molecular structures and thermal properties of wheat dough, and their difference compared to those from wheat flour, which can help the food industry select suitable wheat varieties with improved dough quality.

Dried and crushed dandelion roots (Taraxacum officinale F. H. Wigg.) (TO) were used as a formulation additive (at the amount of 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 g 100 g−1 flour) to wheat bread. The farinographic properties of the dough and the physical and chemical properties of the bread were evaluated. It was found that the addition of dried flour caused a significant decrease in water absorption by the flour (1% and higher TO level), an increase in the development time (from 2% to 5% TO addition) and dough stability (3% and 4% TO level), and an increase in dough softening (4% and higher TO level). As the substitution of TO for wheat flour increased, there was a gradual decrease in loaf volume, an increase in specific weight and crumb hardness, and a darkening of the crumb color. The total polyphenol content increased linearly with the percentage increase of dried root additions TO from 0.290 to 0.394 mg GAE g−1 d.m., which translated into an increase in the antioxidant activity of the bread. It was found that dried crushed roots of Taraxacum officinale can be a recipe additive for wheat bread; however, due to their specific smell and bitter aftertaste, the level of this additive should not exceed 3 g 100 g−1 flour.

Background and ObjectiveThere is a growing interest in incorporating whole grain highland barley (HB) to wheat bread for improving nutrients and potential health benefits. However, the qualities and sensory properties of whole grain‐based bread were reduced compared to refined wheat‐based bread due to the strong water absorption and large particle size of dietary fiber in whole grain. Therefore, ultra‐fine ground whole grain HB partially substituted 5%–40% wheat flour to make bread, and the relevant dough properties and bread qualities were studied.FindingsThe increased addition of ultra‐fine ground whole grain HB from 5% to 40% to wheat increased dough development time, whereas, decreased dough stability time, elasticity, pH, G′ modulus, and G″ modulus. The increased substitution of ultra‐fine ground whole grain HB to wheat further reduced the specific volume, cohesiveness, elasticity, and resilience of bread, whereas, increased the hardness, adhesiveness, and chewiness of bread.ConclusionsThe partial substitution of wheat with ultra‐fine ground whole grain HB from 5% to 40% wheat significantly affected wheat‐HB dough properties and resultant bread qualities mainly due to weakened gluten networking.Significance and NoveltyThe 5%–10% substitution of wheat by ultra‐fine ground whole grain HB showed the optimum dough properties and bread qualities compared to other treatments, which substituted 20%–40% wheat flour.

This study investigated the physical, chemical, and sensory attributes of breads produced from preheated high-quality cassava flour (PCF) and its composite with wheat flour (CWF). Wet gluten was added to the PCF and CWF for production of bread, while bread from wheat served as the control. Flour functionality was determined prior to bread production. The moisture contents of the flour samples were in the range of 12.80 to 14.21%, and PCF exhibited water absorption capacity (1.12mL/g) comparable to that of wheat flour (WF) (1.10mL/g). There were significant (P <0.05) differences in color characteristics, except in L* values and breads produced from WF and CWF were similar in specific volume (3.85 to 4.21mL/g) and firmness (2.04 to 2.64 N). Breads from WF and CWF exhibited similar crumb microstructure, though gas bubbles in the sample from PCF appeared less developed. Wheat bread had significantly (P <0.05) higher calorie, crude protein and crude fat, but lower crude fiber, ash, and carbohydrate compared to other bread samples. Sensory evaluation showed that bread from PCF was not significantly different from 100% wheat bread in crust color, texture, and overall acceptability but was impaired in flavor. The study revealed the feasibility of bread baking from preheated cassava flour with added gluten extract. The bread produced had some quality attributes comparable to that of wheat bread. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Bread from wheat-cassava composite flour with added gluten was similar to wheat bread in specific volume and firmness while sample from cassava flour with added gluten compared favorably well with wheat bread in crust color, texture, and overall acceptability. Findings from the study present wheat gluten extract as a viable component to be used in nonwheat flours for bread making. This could be a basis to further add value to the gluten churned out as a by-product in the wheat starch industry.

The enrichment of a socially significant food product - bread with important components is a widely used and effective mechanism for correcting the nutrition of the population. The basis of scientific research is the study of the possibility of using water - ethanol extract from walnut shells in baking technology, its effect on the baking properties of flour and wheat dough in general. The article presents the chemical, amino acid composition of the water-ethanol extract obtained from the walnut shell, which has therapeutic and prophylactic properties, high nutritional value, its safety and expediency of use to improve the technological properties of the dough are confirmed. The main parameters characterizing the fermentation process were studied: the dynamics of the dough rise, the gas-forming, gas-retaining ability of flour and wheat dough at different dosages of the injected water - ethanol extract from the walnut shell. Experiments were carried out with the replacement of water with water-ethanol extract in the amount of 10, 20, 30 and 40% of the calculated amount of water for kneading. A comparative evaluation of the experimental and control samples of wheat dough showed that the test samples had the most optimal characteristics when 20% water-ethanol extract was applied. At the same time, the gas-forming capacity was increased by 18%, the gas-holding capacity was -19%, while reducing the duration of fermentation of the dough. The article scientifically substantiates the choice of the ingredient composition, the expediency of using water - ethanol extract from walnut, introduced to improve the baking properties of the dough.

Effect of egg yolk on the properties of wheat dough and bread

Improvement of whole wheat dough and bread properties by emulsifiers

Bread made from wheat flour in chemical composition is not well balanced for vital ingredients. One of its drawbacks is that with a high content of carbohydrates in it there is little dietary fiber, therefore, it is promising to enrich it with inulin-compliant products. The inclusion of inulin made from chicory in the recipe of wheat bread to influence the formation of the rheological properties of the dough, which will affect the quality of the finished products. Therefore, the object of research in the work is the dough of wheat flour of the first grade, the recipe of which includes inulin made from chicory. During the research, inulin made from chicory «Cosucra» (Belgium) is used in the amount of 5, 10, 15 % by weight of flour. It is established that the addition of inulin leads to an increase in the elastic properties of the dough, especially with an increase in the dose of inulin by more than 10 %. Increasing the dose of inulin up to 15 % and more along with an increase in the elastic characteristics reduces the dough elasticity, causing a significant deterioration in the volume of products. It is proven that a decrease in the specific volume of products and an increase in the elastic characteristics of the crumb are the limiting factors of using inulin products in the formulation of more than 10 % by weight of the flour. Use in the formulation of inulin bread in the amount of 10 and 15 % by weight of flour due to the increase in the elastic properties of the dough leads to a significant deterioration in the volume of products. The taste and aroma of inulin products are inherent in wheat bread. Due to the inclusion of inulin wheat bread in the recipe, the products acquire prebiotic properties, however, the effectiveness of using inulin to improve the quality of finished products is possible with dosing 5 % by weight of flour. For greater enrichment of bakery products with dietary fiber, it is possible to use the dosage of inulin 10 % by weight of flour, but to apply technological measures to improve the quality of products.

Background and objectivesThis study aimed to determine the effect of xanthan gum on whole wheat dough and bread, especially dough rheological properties, gluten structures, loaf volume, and bread texture and staling.FindingsXanthan gum increased the water absorption and mixing time for whole wheat dough as determined by mixograph. Xanthan gum altered dough rheology as evaluated through the Kieffer extensibility test, Chen–Hoseney stickiness test, and compression test employed for extensional viscosity calculation. Gluten secondary structure was analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy. Changes to glutenin and gliadin extractability were measured by RP‐HPLC. Specific loaf volume increased from 3.74 to 4.38 cm3/g. Crumb hardness of fresh bread decreased more than twofold by xanthan inclusion. Hardness after 48 hr of bread storage was also lower than the control, but the rate of hardness increase was not reduced. Moisture loss over 48 hr decreased for 0.6% and 1.0% xanthan gum. DSC revealed that xanthan gum decreased amylose–lipid complexation, but did not affect amylopectin retrogradation.ConclusionsXanthan gum altered the rheological properties of whole wheat dough, increased whole wheat bread volume, and decreased the hardness of both fresh and stored bread. Future research could examine the effect of xanthan gum in combination with other crumb softeners and antistaling agents, in order to achieve both an increase in loaf volume and a decrease in staling for whole wheat bread.Significance and noveltyThis study may help improve the sensory appeal of whole wheat bread and ultimately increase whole grain consumption.

Bread staling could be diminished by the use of certain additives, including starch degradation products. The aim of the study was to check the influence of potato starch extrudates (which were produced at different extrusion temperatures – 90, 130 and 170°C) on the physical properties of wheat dough and bread, as well as the staling process of bread. In baking studies, ground starch extrudates were used to replace wheat flour at a substitution level of 5%. It was found that the extrudate prepared at 130°C had the most significant effect on the rheological properties of the dough. Bread with starch extrudates exhibited a lower volume and height when compared to the control. Starch extrudates did not influence the crust colour, but did have an impact on the crumb colour. The addition of starch extrudates to wheat bread had a detrimental influence on its hardness as it increased this particular parameter, despite the slower rate of starch retrogradation. The results confirm that bread staling is a complex process which could be affected by various factors, and not merely by starch retrogradation.
