Abstract
AbstractThe effect of malt addition and yeast concentration on the hydrolysis of phytic acid during different stages of bread making has been reported. There was a considerable hydrolysis of phytic acid with the addition of yeast and malt. In the breads of S‐308 and WL‐711 wheat varieties, the loss of phytic phosphorus was 6.6. 8,1; 24.6, 23.0 and 26.6, 27.7% in case of nonyeasted, 1.5% and 3% yeasted dough of whole wheat flour (Atta) respectively. However in white bread, the loss of phytic phosphorus was 14.0 and 18.4; 46.2 and 41.5; 51.7 and 49.4%, in non‐yeasted, 1.5% and 3% yeasted doughs of S‐308 and WL‐711 wheat varieties respectively. A significant loss of phytic acid was observed at a yeast level of 1.5 and 3% and with 0.4% malt addition as compared with the control. Most of the phytic acid was hydrolysed during the fermentation and proofing stages in both types of bread samples.
