TECHNOLOGICAL AND BAKERY PROPERTIES OF GRAIN FORMS OF WHEAT CREATED BY HYBRIDIZATION OF TRITICUM AESTIVUM L. × TRITICUM SPELTA L.

The opportunities of molecular genetic approaches to manage the wheat grain’s technological properties, influencing the quality of end products of bread industry, were considered within this review. At present, the traditional range is crowded out with an increase in grain production, the quality of the mass varieties of bread is deteriorating, and tens of different substances of biological and chemical origin are used as improvers in bread baking. Meanwhile, wheat’s genetic potential allows us to create varieties for the production of grain with technological characteristics suitable for high-quality bread production. Multiple examples of the creation of varieties for the production of 1st and 2nd class grain exist in the history of domestic breeding; modern molecular genetics suggest approaches that in combination with traditional breeding methods enable the accelerated creation of new varieties adapted to the conditions and requirements of the baking industry by using the natural genetic potential of wheat. The authors summarized the data on the diversity of the requirements imposed on the grain and flour to be eventually used in different foods. The statistical data on the volume and structure of the grain quality in Russia from 2011 to 2014 were analyzed. A significant deformation of the quality structure of the produced wheat grain in favor of less valuable classes was detected. A short retrospective analysis of the studies in the field of wheat genetics that demonstrates the role of genetic factors in the development of technological properties of grain and flour was conducted. Different approaches to accelerated breeding of varieties with specified properties for the prospect of developing studies in the field of plant molecular genetics were considered. The examples illustrating the possibility and expedience of using DNA diagnostics methods at different stages of the process, during which the genetic potential (inherent in the gene pool of food crops) is realized and affects the final product quality, are given. The results of molecular genetic studies on determining the localization and structure of the genes involved in developing the technological properties of the wheat grain (the content of protein and wet gluten, milling properties, rheological properties of the flour and dough, flour color, and starch properties) were considered. The data on diagnostic DNA markers, suitable for the efficient selection of genotypes instead of the time-consuming analysis of technological characteristics at intermediate breeding stages, were summarized. Thus, the information on bread wheat’s genetic potential and modern technological approaches, which constitute the basis for a change of the direction from increased chemicalization towards a softer and more organic effect on the quality of the main raw material and products in the entire “grain–flour—bread” food chain, is summarized.

The work is devoted to determining the physical and technological properties of quinoa grain. Quinoa is an unconventional crop for Ukraine, but experiments on its cultivation have been successfully completed in the Sumy region. Due to its unique chemical composition, quinoa is used in dietary and functional products.Quinoa contains about 20% protein, which makes it an excellent dietary supplement for people who do not eat animal products. The amino acid composition of quinoa proteins is very balanced and is characterized by a high content of such essential amino acids. Feature of the fatty acid composition of quinoa. it has a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including linolenic fatty acid and linoleic, which belongs to the acids ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids.Due to the growing popularity of quinoa and its suitability for cultivation in our climatic and soil conditions, it is important to develop the technology of its storage and processing. One of the main stages of substantiation of the choice of technology for storage and processing of quinoa grain is to determine its physical and technological properties.Physical and technological properties of grain mass are determined by a large number of indicators.Determination of physical and technological properties of quinoa grain was performed for three types of quinoa: red, black and white. In determining the physical and mechanical properties were used methods approved by the relevant standards, or used in research and recommended in the relevant literature.We have identified the following basic physical and technological properties: geometric characteristics, nature, weight of 1000 grains, duty cycle, packing density, air supply, angle of natural slope, coefficient of internal friction, coefficient of external friction. Numerical values of these indicators for each type of quinoa are determined.Knowledge of the physical and technological properties of the grain mass to solve a large number of applied problems that have practical significance. and play an important role in the processes of moistening, heating and cooling of grain. A thorough study of physical and technological properties can provide optimal conditions for storage of seeds without compromising their quality. The obtained data can be used for selection of modes of cleaning, drying and active ventilation.

Abstract. The production of high-quality food wheat grains depends to a large extent on the quality potential of the cultivated varieties and the conditions that ensure its implementation. Studies have identified quality-resistant varieties and factors that ensure an optimal combination of yield and grain quality. The purpose of the research is to consider the possibilities of new varieties of spring wheat to form the technological properties of grain in the northern forest-steppe of the Tyumen region. Methods. Studies were carried out in 2021 and 2022 in the northern forest-steppe zone of the Tyumen region at the Ishim state section. The soil is leached chernozem. The predecessor in the experience is pure steam. The technological properties of wheat grain were assessed by the West Siberian Interregional Center for Comprehensive Quality Assessment of the Tested Varieties (Barnaul). The main criteria for assessing wheat varieties are taken as the gluten content in flour, the strength of flour according to the alveograph and the liquefaction of the test according to the farinograph, these indicators in local conditions are often limiting when assessing varieties according to bakery strength. According to the results of studies, it was established that the indicator “gluten content in flour” in the studied varieties significantly depended on meteorological conditions. For example, in 2022, with a higher degree of moisture and a lower degree of heat compared to 2021, in the predominant part of the varieties (80 %), the amount of gluten in the flour was lower than the standards for wheat filler. At the same time, the following varieties showed high opportunities to provide flour with the amount of gluten: Tyumenskaya 25, Agronomicheskaya 5, Baganochka, Dorada, Tyumenskaya 29, Varden. Varieties stood out – their indicators were at the level of requirements for strong wheat: Baganochka, Ishimskaya 12 and Lenta 45. In terms of “dough liquefaction”, a significant part of the varieties corresponded to the class “wheat-filler”. At the level of strong wheat were indicators in the varieties Ishimskaya 12, Zagora Novosibirsk, Nitsa. Scientific novelty: In the conditions of the northern forest-steppe of the Tyumen region, new scientific information has been obtained on the formation by new varieties of spring soft wheat of the state test of technological indicators characterizing the baking power of flour. The highest gluten content in flour of 70% yield was distinguished by the varieties Agronomic 5, Dorada, Varden, Baganochka, Ishimskaya 12, and Lenta varieties were characterized by high indicators of the physical properties of the test on the alveograph; Ishimskaya 12 on the farinograph, Zagora Novosibirsk, Nice.

The United States Air Force has been interested in studying the effect of different types of radiation encountered by its personnel in space. A study was, therefore, conducted at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine, Brooks Air Force, Texas with rhesus monkeys as experimental subjects. These subjects were exposed to different types of radiation such as: (1) electromagnetic radiation; (2) electrons; (3) protons; and (4) nuclei of elements of higher numbers with different amount of radiation. These subjects were followed over a period of 338 months. In this paper an interesting problem related to health and radiation has been addressed. The effects of radiation, taking into account the cause of death (cancer or heart disease) along with the covariates such as sex, age, type of exposure, dose, are examined. A general log‐linear hazard model approach is studied. The model estimates the cause specific hazard rates, assuming piecewise exponential distribution, and exhibits the survival function for each of the covariate groups and the probability of death due to each cause. A data set called ‘Delayed Bio‐Effects Colony’, of radiated animals, is analysed and some conclusions are drawn. Overall the study has brought out the effect of high and low doses of radiation on both the male and female groups. The procedure presented in the paper distinguishes between time varying hazards. Thus the methodology may be useful for other survival related environmental problems, be this with regard to animal or human survival. Thus, the paper could contribute to its more widespread use.

The range of methods for assessing the quality of grain and its technological properties in cereal crops, of oat in particular, is extremely limited. The available methods are labor-intensive and not always sufficiently informative. The variety of modern processing methods dictates the necessity in searching for more universal and informative assessment methods. Cereal crop breeding also requires high-speed and low-cost methods for assessing grain quality. The present work is a methodological study that uses a limited set oat accessions from the genetic collection of VIR, differing by geographical origin and contrasting technological properties, with an aim of developing a new grain quality assessment method and testing new methods for analyzing technological properties. The resulting criteria are compared with each other and with more traditional indicators. New systems for assessing the technological properties of grain of naked and covered oat have been proposed. A new method of sedimentation analysis for cereal crops is proposed. The diversity of the oat protein complex is exemplified in the results of sedimentation analysis, and of the carbohydrate complex – in the results of its testing by a micro-visco-amylograph. The variety of interactions between oat grain storage substances and wheat material during joint processing is shown by assessing the rheological properties of the dough mixture using a farinograph. The obtained results can be recommended for the assessment for breeding purposes, as well as for obtaining complete information about the quality of oat grain for the purpose of its further processing.

The technology of making dough from spelt flour differs from that known for flour of soft wheat in which starch grains are firmly bound to the protein matrix. It has been established that the content of protein in spelt grain varied from 15.0 % to 22.5 % for varieties and from 14.0 % to 19.8 % for lines. The content of gluten does not depend on the origin of varieties and lines. It amounted to 31.6‒44.9 % in the grain of varieties and 29.2‒43.6 % in the grain of lines. Technological properties of grain of introgressive lines are similar to those of grain of interspecies spelt lines. Index of gluten deformation of grain of spelt varieties and lines varied from 97 to 116 points and the fall number varied from 389 to 416 s. The spelt baking properties differ from those of soft wheat since the maximum gas-holding capacity of dough prepared of spelt flour comes after 60‒90 min of fermentation and then rapidly decreases. The highest stability during fermentation had dough prepared of flour of Zoria Ukrainy variety and NSS 6/01 and NAK34/12-2 lines. Volume of the bread baked of prime flour was from 303 to 523 cm3, which corresponded to 1.0‒7.6 points. The corresponding figure for dark flour was from 270 to 470 cm3 depending on spelt variety and line. Its quality was high in all samples: 7.2‒8.4 points or 80‒93 % of the maximum value. The bread baked of flour of Zoria Ukrainy variety and LPP 3132, NAK34/12-2 and TV 1100 lines was of the highest quality. The overall estimate of quality of the bread baked of dark flour was very high (8.3‒9.0 points) while the bread baked of flour of Swedish 1 variety and LPP 3117, LPP 3122/2, P 3, LPP 3132, NAK34/12-2 lines had the highest quality (9.0 points). Glossiness of the bread surface and its overall estimate were influenced by the content of protein in grain. Gluten content affected bread quality somewhat less. Gluten deformation index also affected crust surface, pore size and the overall estimate of bread. The bread baked of flour of Zoria Ukrainy variety and LPP 3132, NAK34/12-2 and TV 1100 lines had the highest overall culinary estimate. Technological properties of grain of 16 spelt varieties and lines have been theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed. Differences between quality of the bread baked of prime and dark flour were analyzed. Relevance of the differentiated approach to the technological properties of flour for its production was shown. Based on the study of physical-chemical and organoleptic characteristics of bread, promising possibility of its use in the baking technology has been confirmed for expanding assortment of products and improving their quality.

Background.The end-use of the bread wheat grain depends on the endosperm properties determined by the alleles of the Pinaand Pinbgenes at the Halocus on chromosome 5D. The mealy (soft) endosperm is generated by the biosynthesis of puroindolines – complete proteins encoded by these genes. When milled, such grain breaks down into small starch granules covered with proteins. Mutations that disrupt the synthesis or structure of puroindolines determine the hardness and vitreousness of the grain. Earlier, we discovered a new locus for grain softness, Ha-Sp, introgressed from the diploid species Aegilops speltoidesTausch, which also determines the formation of the soft endosperm structure. By combining two active loci in one genotype, we produced a supersoft grain line (SSL). The aim of the present work was to verify the interaction of the two loci Haand HaSpin other wheat genotypes and evaluate the technological properties of grain and flour in comparison with the existing SSL line.Materials and methods.The F3–F8 hybrids from crosses of the soft-grain spring cultivars ‘Golubka’ and ‘Lutescens 62’, carriers of the Halocus, with the introgressive line 84/98w, carrier of the Ha-Splocus, were used in the work. Grain from three field seasons was studied according to milling parameters and physical properties of flour and dough.Results.At the early stages of selection (F3:4), the families with milling parameters typical of bread wheat were identified, as well as supersoft-grain families with a small flour particle size (9–10 μm) and low endosperm vitreousness (29–49%). Targeted selection made it possible to obtain lines similar to the SSL line in terms of milling performance and flour strength.Conclusion.For the first time, a set of supersoft-grain lines with special properties of grain and flour was obtained on the genetic basis of three spring cultivars. They may be in demand for a wide range of end-uses, including both food and nonfood production purposes.

Functional and sensory properties of wheat (Aestium triticium) and taro (colocasia esculenta) composite bread were investigated. Unblanched and blanched flour were produced from taro tubers. These were separately used to formulate composite flour blends with wheat flours in ratios of 70:30, 80:20 and 90:10. Functional properties, water absorption capacity (WAC), oil absorption capacity (OAC), packed bulk density (PBD), loose bulk density (LBD), least gelation concentration (LGC) and swelling capacity (SC) of the blends and the reference samples were assayed using known standard methods. Bread samples produced from the various composite flour blends using standard recipes were subjected to sensory evaluation. Results showed that there was a significant difference (P < 0.05) in all the functional properties amongst the blends and the control. However, the values for the functional properties for 90:10 samples blends for both unblanched and blanched compared favourably with the control. Bread sample from 90:10 unblanched blend had the highest sensory score for mouth feel, flavor, colour, taste, crumb texture aroma and overall acceptability. The finding suggests that acceptable bread could be produced from addition of unblanched taro flour to wheat flour at 10% level. This would significantly reduce the cost of production of bread and other allied products. Key word: Taro, wheat, functional property, sensory property, bread, composite flour.

The study examined the nutritional, microbial and sensory profile of regularly consumed commercial whole wheat breads in Nigeria in order to offer an insight into the overall quality of these foods. Four major local brands of commercial whole wheat breads (samples A, B, C and D) were evaluated. The normal white bread (sample E) served as control. Results of the physical properties obtained, showed that the white bread (sample E) had higher values for bread volume (2850 cm³), specific volume (4.38 cm³/g), hydration capacity (4.50%) and compressibility (45%) than the whole wheat breads. No trace of bromate was found in all the bread samples. The proximate analyses for the whole wheat bread showed the moisture content to range from (30.64-38.74%), fat (3.5-5.0%), Fibre (2.5-3.5%) higher than in white bread (26.40, 3.0 and 1.20% respectively). While the whole wheat breads had lower levels of protein (5.25-6.48%), carbohydrate (45.74-51.25%) and energy (249-258 Kcal) when compared to white bread of 9.00, 59.40% and 301 Kcal, respectively. The ash and mineral contents of the whole wheat breads were higher than that of white bread. While the viable microbial counts for the whole wheat breads (1.0×10² -1.5×10²) were lower than in the white bread (3.1×10²). Generally, the bread samples were within the regulatory specifications and the whole wheat breads were nutritionally superior to the white bread while the white bread had better overall sensory preference than the whole wheat breads.

The current study aimed to estimate the effects of organic and conventional production systems and four winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) bread cultivars on the technological properties of grain, flour, dough and bread, to increase current knowledge regarding the interactions of the technological properties of winter wheat and assess the cultivars for their suitability for organic production systems. All the technological properties winter wheat which were investigated were significantly affected by the agricultural production system and cultivars, and some of them, mostly grain quality parameters, by the harvest year. Grain from organic winter wheat had significantly lower protein and gluten contents, lower sedimentation and flour water absorption values, shorter dough stability time and lower loaf volume, but higher values of starch content and stronger gluten, compared with grain from the conventional wheat. For both production systems significant positive correlations of protein content with gluten content, sedimentation value, dough stability time, loaf volume, farinograph water absorption, and negative with starch content, gluten index were determined. Statistically significant differences between agricultural production systems were found. The cultivars Ada and Alma had better technological properties that make them more suitable for the organic production system, compared to Širvinta 1 and Zentos.

Abstract. Long-term (more than 20 years) studies were carried out on meadow – chernozem soil in the southern forest-steppe zone of Western Siberia. In a stationary grain-steam crop rotation (steam-wheat-wheat-wheat-barley), a comparative assessment of fertility, the state of agrophytocenosis, yield and quality of spring wheat grain, depending on the placement of the crop in the crop rotation, the tillage system, and complex chemicalization was carried out. The purpose of the research is to establish the influence and effectiveness of multi-level agricultural technologies of spring wheat on the elements of soil fertility, the state of agrophytocenosis, productivity and technological properties of grain in the southern forest-steppe of Western Siberia. Research methods. In the southern forest-steppe agricultural landscapes, the effectiveness of multi-level agricultural technologies of spring wheat cultivation has been established, with an increase in yield from 1.51 to 3.24 t/ha (2.1 times) and a decrease in technological parameters of grain. For the first time, the share contribution of chemicalization components in increasing the productivity of spring wheat cultivated by steam and in the grain-steam crop rotation has been established. Two-factor experience: factor A – tillage system (dump-plowing on the head of 20–22 cm, annually; combined-plowing in the fallow field and under the third wheat after steam for 20–22 cm and flat-cut on the head of 10–12 for the second wheat after steam barley; flat-cut on the head of 10–12 cm for all crops annually; minimal – in the fallow field cultivation on the 8–10 cm. in other fields without autumn treatment); factor B – means of intensification (control – without chemicals, the option of complex application of chemicals included the combined use of fertilizers (N24 P36 per 1 ha of arable land), recommended herbicides, fungicides and retardants). Results. It was found that intensive agrotechnology with the use of fertilizers and plant protection products makes the main contribution to increasing the yield and technological parameters of grain – 30–35 %, precursors – up to 20–25 %, weather conditions of the growing season – 18–20 %, the system of tillage in crop rotation – 10–12 %. The complex application of chemicals contributes to an increase in crop biomass to 2080 g/m2 (by 49 %), reduces water consumption to 73 mm per 1 t\ of grain (2.7 times), optimizes the nutrient regime of the soil and the phytosanitary state of agrophytocenosis, which ultimately increases yields from 1.51 to 3.27 t/ha while improving the technological properties of grain gluten content up to 26.4 – 29.4 %. Long-term rational use of chemicals does not lead to the accumulation of ecotoxicants in soil and grain. The scientific novelty was revealed for the conditions of Western Siberia with the long-term rational use of chemicals, the accumulation of ecotoxicants in the soil and grain was not observed.

Purpose. To investigate the formation of cereal properties of spelt wheat grain depending on variety and line. Methods. Laboratory, mathematical and statistical, physicochemical. Results. As a result of studies it is found that technological properties of grain significantly vary depending on spelt variety and weather conditions. The protein content in spelt grain ranges from 11.0 to 21.3 % depending on the variety. A very high protein content in spelt grain (over 18.0 %) is in variety Zoria of Ukraine; rather high protein content (16.0–17.9 %) is in varieties Schwabenkorn (17.6 %), NSS 6/01 (17.3 %), Avstraliiska 1 (16.7 %) and LPP 3218 (16.7 %); low protein content (12.0–13.9 %) is in varieties LPP 3435 (13.1 %)and LPP 1224 (13.0 %); very low protein content is in varieties Shvedska 1 (11.0 %) and LPP 3117 (11.5 %); the rest of varieties has this indicator at the level of average – 14.0–15.9 %. Vitreous consistency of the endosperm has corn of varieties Zoria of Ukraine and Avstraliiska 1, semi vitreous consistency has grain of varieties NSS 6/01, Schwabenkorn, Frankenkorn and lines LPP 3218, LPP 3132, LPP 1305, LPP 1197, LPP 3124, LPP 3435, semi floury consistency has Shvedska 1 and LPP 3117. Culinary assessment of rolled spelt grains varies significantly depending on the variety. Total culinary assessment of rolled grain porridge of the spelt ranges from 6,8 to 9,0 points. Origin of spelt variety does not affect this indicator. The highest culinary assessment (8.9–9.0 points) has porridge obtained from grain of the variety Zoria of Ukraine and LPP 3132 line which makes it possible to use its grain to obtain cereal products. The lowest assessment of the porridge has variety Shvedska 1 and lines LPP 1224, LPP 3117 – 6.8–7.7 points. The other varieties have a culinary assessment of the porridge at a level of 8.1–8.8 points. For spelt grain indicator of protein content and grain vitreuesness can be used to evaluate the culinary properties of cereals. Conclusions. As a result of the conducted researches, it is established that Zoria Ukrainy, Schwabenkorn, NSS 6/01, Australian 1 varieties and LPP 3218 line are characterized by high protein content. Hard consistency of endosperm has the grain of Australian 1 and Zoria Ukrainy varieties in which the grain hardness is 73 and 84%, respectively. The origin of spelt wheat variety does not affect the color of cooked porridge. The general culinary evaluation of rolled spelt wheat porridge ranges from 6.8 to 9.0 points. Zoria Ukrainy spelt grain has the highest culinary evaluation which makes it possible to use it to produce cereals. To evaluate the culinary properties of spelt cereals, grain protein content and its hardness can be used.

For the widespread introduction of different species of wheat into processing, it is necessary to understand the features of the physicochemical properties of these wheats, which determine the behavior of the grain during its milling and the obtaining flour during the dough making process. Technological properties of grain of four different wheat species and the laboratory milling flour obtained from them were investigated. It was found that according to grain quality indicators, milling properties and quality flour indicators, 4 species of wheat grain grown in the same agro-climatic conditions showed significant differences. Hard wheat with GPC-B1 gene (breeding line) has a superior baking strength due to the GPC-B1 gene, which significantly increases the protein content in grain (13.51%), gluten content (26.1%), test Zeleny (58 ml) and ash content (1.69%) compare to common hard wheat (Kuyalnyk variety). As a result, flour shown high values of: strength (W=396×10-4 J), high SRC in lactic acid (160%), high dough stability (&gt;30 minutes), low degree of softening of the dough (43 UF). According to the obtained data, waxy wheat (Sofiika variety) consimilar with common baking wheat, excluding low value of Falling Number (FN=70 seconds). When determining on the alveograph, the dough is very tight (L&lt;40 mm) due to high water absorption capacity (WAC=67.3%). The results of SRC test in sodium carbonate confirmed the high value of starch damage with the highest result (108%). Soft wheat (Bilyava variety) differs significantly from common hard wheat. In terms of wheat quality indicators, it can be attributed to medium bread-baking strength. Such flour characterized by less ash content (0.47%), but higher whiteness (70.7 units), less protein content (10.79%), less elasticity (Ie=44.3), but greater extensibility, resulting in a lower P/L ratio (0.83) and less water absorption capacity (WAC=52.7%). According to milling properties was investigated that hard wheat with the GPC-B1 locus and common hard wheat Kuyalnik shown similar results. The total yield of flours from these wheats during milling is above 70%, which indicates the economic feasibility of their processing into flour. During milling waxy wheat has a decrease in the reduction flour yield and an increase in the reduction bran yield. Absolutely different results in milling properties show soft wheat. The total yield of soft flour is less – 67.17% with significant increasing of break flour yield and decreasing reduction flour yield. Different properties of grain and flour determine the different end use of grain of each wheat species. Wheat with the GPC-B1 gene can be used in production of flour which is used in low-temperature technologies for the manufacture of frozen convenience foods and also as improver for increase the rheological properties of the dough or for pasta-making properties. For end use of waxy wheat (Sofiika variety) can be recommended in the production of pasta products. Although waxy flour can be used as regulator in flour blending for correcting the indicators of common baking wheat. Blends of flour from waxy wheat grain and flour from hard wheat grain with GPC-B1 gene are ideal for making frozen products. Soft wheat (Belyava variety) flour preferred for low moisture crackers, cookies and can be added in a small amount to special types of bread to give a lighter color to the crumb.

This study investigated the physical, chemical, and sensory attributes of breads produced from preheated high-quality cassava flour (PCF) and its composite with wheat flour (CWF). Wet gluten was added to the PCF and CWF for production of bread, while bread from wheat served as the control. Flour functionality was determined prior to bread production. The moisture contents of the flour samples were in the range of 12.80 to 14.21%, and PCF exhibited water absorption capacity (1.12mL/g) comparable to that of wheat flour (WF) (1.10mL/g). There were significant (P <0.05) differences in color characteristics, except in L* values and breads produced from WF and CWF were similar in specific volume (3.85 to 4.21mL/g) and firmness (2.04 to 2.64 N). Breads from WF and CWF exhibited similar crumb microstructure, though gas bubbles in the sample from PCF appeared less developed. Wheat bread had significantly (P <0.05) higher calorie, crude protein and crude fat, but lower crude fiber, ash, and carbohydrate compared to other bread samples. Sensory evaluation showed that bread from PCF was not significantly different from 100% wheat bread in crust color, texture, and overall acceptability but was impaired in flavor. The study revealed the feasibility of bread baking from preheated cassava flour with added gluten extract. The bread produced had some quality attributes comparable to that of wheat bread. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Bread from wheat-cassava composite flour with added gluten was similar to wheat bread in specific volume and firmness while sample from cassava flour with added gluten compared favorably well with wheat bread in crust color, texture, and overall acceptability. Findings from the study present wheat gluten extract as a viable component to be used in nonwheat flours for bread making. This could be a basis to further add value to the gluten churned out as a by-product in the wheat starch industry.
