Improving the production technology of bakery products obtained using ingredients of plant origin

Abstract

The article considers the possibility of using whole-grain flour from germinated wheat grain as a raw material component containing easily digestible sugars, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. For the intensification of the germination process, the treatment of wheat at the acoustic source of elastic oscillations is used at a frequency of (22 ± 1.65) kHz and power of 340 W and an exposure time of 5 minutes. The obtained whole-ground flour from germinated wheat grain has a weighted average particle size of flour 177 ± 25 microns. This flour was used in the production of model bread samples by partial replacement of high-grade flour in the amount of 10–50%. Based on the determination of technological parameters, it was found that the use of whole-grain flour from germinated wheat grain increases the sugar-forming and gas-forming ability of the flour mixture, intensifies the fermentation process. It has little effect on the quantity and quality of gluten. The optimal value of the drop number was found for the first-grade baking wheat flour and whole-grain flour from germinated wheat in a ratio of 80:20, respectively. This ratio was also defined as the best organoleptic evaluation of laboratory test baking bread samples. The model sample had an attractive appearance, a convex brown, uniform porosity, non-sticky, elastic crumb, pronounced taste and aroma. The authors note that the improvement of the production technology of bakery products obtained using whole-grain flour from germinated wheat grain is possible by choosing the optimal dosage of introducing this type of raw material and monitoring the technological parameters of the process.
