Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the properties of chia seed gum (CSG) and its use in frozen dough. The CSG prepared by vacuum freeze-drying had the lowest water separation (4.22 ± 0.11 %) after three freeze–thaw cycles and the best color among the samples. The addition of 0.4 % to 1.0 % CSG significantly increased the peak, trough and final viscosity and decreased the breakdown and setback of the flour. The water absorption and cooking stability of the dough increased with increasing CSG content. The addition of 0.8 %–1.0 % CSG significantly increased the content of strongly bound water in dough during frozen storage. The CSG improved the texture of dough, and there were no significant differences in hardness, springiness, cohesiveness or chewiness of dough with 0.8 %–1.0 % CSG during frozen storage for 30 days. The cooking loss rate and the cracking rate of the dumpling wrappers with 0.8 % CSG were reduced by 2.31 % and 21.34 %, respectively. In conclusion, CSG can be used to improve the quality of wheat dough and its products and has promising applications in flour products.
