Abstract
Breads were chilled at room temperature or using a vacuum chilling process. The staling rate was studied after partial baking and after the final baking. Vacuum chilled breads (VCBs) exhibited a higher moisture loss than conventionally chilled bread (CCB). A higher enthalpy of melting of amylopectin crystals was observed for VCB in comparison to CCB. VCB had a negative effect on the texture of the bread. The hardness of the crumb of VCB was increased by 20% at the end of staling and the kinetics of staling was 10% faster for VCB in comparison to CCB. After 12 days of storage at 4 °C, a second and final baking was applied to the bread. The staling rate of VCB was almost two times that of CCB. The staling rate of CCB was unchanged in comparison to the staling rate after partial baking. Data on the enthalpy of melting of amylopectin showed that the same amount of amylopectin was formed at the end of staling for CCB after part baked process and after full baking process. Beside, the VCB showed a higher amount of recrystallized amylopectin (10%) at the end of the staling which followed the partial baking.
