Abstract
A new water-soluble resistant dextrin (WSRD), fabricated by thermal-acid treatment following amylase hydrolysis from corn starch, was expected to strengthen the dietary fibers intake of flour products. This study was to investigate the effects of WSRD on flour processing quality, and further dissect its improvement mechanisms by farinographic and rheological analysis, SDS-PAGE, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, texture analyzer, etc. Results showed that WSRD greatly improved the viscoelasticity and strength of dough, which was predominantly contributed by its formation of gel-like networks. Meanwhile, the WSRD-induced increase of gluten aggregates and β-sheet conformation provided the structural basis for enhancing dough quality. Notably, WSRD greatly promoted the sensory appearance and crumb quality of baked breads. Moreover, the WSRD-treated breads resisted the hydrolysis of digestive fluid and enzymes. Therefore, WSRD can strengthen the processing qualities and nutritional values of flour products, which will broaden the application of the novel dietary fiber in flour industry.
