Abstract
Dietary fibres can play a significant role in GF bread development. Besides their well documented health benefits, dietary fibres can improve the texture, sensory characteristics and shelf life of baked products, due to their water binding capacity, gel forming ability, fat mimetic, textural and thickening effects. Dietary fibres from different sources are discussed in this paper and their role in GF products' making is analysed. The sources of fibres vary: flours, fruit and vegetable processing by-products, isolated ingredients, seeds or mixtures of all of these can be used. Fibres improve the structure and result in dense crumb porosity. Tasty products with soft crumb can be produced, and there are many perspectives in further products development.
