Production Of Gluten-free Bread Research Articles

Improving the technology of gluten-free bread from composite flour mixtures

The article presents the research on the development of bread technology from gluten-free composite mixtures: No. 1 from a mixture of rice and flax flour (70: 30), No. 2 from flax and corn flour (50: 50) and No. 3 from pumpkin and corn flour (50: 50). A sociological survey conducted has shown that potential consumers are interested in expanding the line of gluten-free food products in the Saratov region. The following technological parameters for the production of gluten-free bread were determined: proofing time – 100 minutes, chamber temperature 35°С and relative air humidity 40%. The bread was baked for 9 minutes at 200°С and 35 minutes at 180°С with a relative humidity in the working chamber of 40%. Physicochemical studies showed that the moisture content in three samples of gluten-free bread was 1.17 times higher than the norm (46.0) compared to the control. In turn, the acidity of the sample crumb was in the range of 5.5–7.2 degrees, respectively, which exceeded the norm. The crumb porosity of the developed samples was 65.22–68.03%, respectively, while less than 68% was explained by the use of gluten-free mixtures, which were unable to form an elastic elastic frame in the products. The developed gluten-free bread contained QMAFAnM, coliform bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, bacteria of the genus Proteus, mold fungi and pathogenic microorganisms, including Salmonella, and complies with TR CU 021/2011.As a result of the research, sample No. 3 was selected from pumpkin and corn flour (50: 50), which had high performance in terms of overall physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics. The selected sample had dimensional stability, pleasant taste, aroma and baked crumb.

Enhancing Gluten-Free Bread Production: Impact of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Psyllium Husk Fiber, and Xanthan Gum on Dough Characteristics and Bread Quality.

The demand for gluten-free products has increased due to improved diagnoses and awareness of gluten-related issues. This study investigated the effect of HPMC, psyllium, and xanthan gum in gluten-free bread formulations. Three tests were conducted, varying the amount of these ingredients: in the first formulation, the amount of HPMC was increased to 4.4 g/100 g of flour and starch; in the second, psyllium husk fiber was increased to 13.2 g/100 g of flour and starch; and in the third formulation, xanthan gum was removed. Differences were observed among the formulations: increasing HPMC reduced extrusion force without affecting bread quality; adding psyllium increased dough elasticity but also crumb gumminess and crust hardness. Eliminating xanthan gum altered dough rheology, resulting in a softer and less gummy crumb, and a less reddish color in the final bread.

TECHNOLOGY OF BAKERY PRODUCTS BY FUNCTIONAL DIRECTION

Whole grain breads and gluten-free bread products are commonly associated with crumbly texture, poor color, low volume, poor flavor, and short shelf life, possibly due to a weak or absent cohesive network that forms gluten. Thus, some defects in dietary bread in the functional direction are associated with ineffective gas retention and expansion during kneading, which leads to a decrease in the volume and softness of the crumb. The current challenge of the work is to overcome these limitations.The recipe for a new range of whole grain bread and gluten-free bakery products has been created. The technology for whole grain bread and gluten-free bakery products based on mixed flour has been improved. A scientific assessment of the percentage of necessary substances in the physical and chemical composition of the flour taken for research was carried out. Experimental baking of bread was carried out in laboratory conditions, as a result of which, through mathematical modeling, three types of samples of bread products were selected, the most optimal in terms of recipe. In this work, the recipes of selected samples of bakery products, technological regimes taken into account when developing a new product, organoleptic and physicochemical properties of the finished product are determined and discussed. The color of the samples is uniform, the surface color of the product is brown, the bread is soft, medium-porous, the bread is soft and elastic, without foreign odors, the taste harmoniously matches the bread product. The bread meets the requirements of current regulatory documents.

Plant-Based Antioxidants in Gluten-Free Bread Production: Sources, Technological and Sensory Aspects, Enhancing Strategies and Constraints.

The recognized contribution of antioxidant compounds to overall health maintenance and spotted deficiencies in celiac patients' diets has driven more intensive research regarding antioxidant compounds' inclusion in gluten-free bread (GFB) production during the last decade. The presented review gathered information that provided insights into plant-based antioxidant sources which are applicable in GFB production through the resulting changes in the technological, sensory, and nutritional quality of the resulting antioxidant-enriched GFB. The influence of the bread-making process on the antioxidant compounds' content alteration and applied methods for their quantification in GFB matrices were also discussed, together with strategies for enhancing the antioxidant compounds' content, their bioaccessibility, and their bioavailability, highlighting the existing contradictions and constraints. The addition of plant-based antioxidant compounds generally improved the antioxidant content and activity of GFB, without a profound detrimental effect on its technological quality and sensory acceptability, and with the extent of the improvement being dependent on the source richness and the amount added. The determination of a pertinent amount and source of plant-based antioxidant material that will result in the production of GFB with desirable nutritional, sensory, and technological quality, as well as biological activity, remains a challenge to be combated by elucidation of the potential mechanism of action and by the standardization of quantification methods for antioxidant compounds.

Development of Gluten-Free Bread Production Technology with Enhanced Nutritional Value in the Context of Kazakhstan.

This research aims to enhance the nutritional value of gluten-free bread by incorporating a diverse range of components, including additives with beneficial effects on human health, e.g., dietary fibers. The research was focused on improving the texture, taste, and nutritional content of gluten-free products by creating new recipes and including novel biological additives. The goal was to develop gluten-free bread with less than 3 ppm gluten content that can be eaten by people suffering from gluten sensitivity. The physical and chemical properties of gluten-free rice, corn, green buckwheat, chickpea, amaranth, and plantain flours were examined to understand their unique characteristics and the possibility of their mixing combination to achieve the desired results. Initially, nine recipes were prepared, and in survey research, four baking recipes were selected and tested. The composition of amino acids in the prepared gluten-free bread was determined. The variant made of corn, green buckwheat flour with plantain was found to be top-rated. Changes in the nutritional content of the new product were analyzed, and general regulations and nutritional values were identified. Experimental baking processes were carried out, leading to the successful formulation of gluten-free bread containing corn, green buckwheat, and plantain flour in a ratio of 40:40:20, meeting gluten-free requirements and demonstrating improved nutritional properties, as well as consumption properties, confirmed by surveys conducted on a group of consumers.

Experiences with Gluten-Free Bread: A Qualitative Study Amongst People with Coeliac Disease Participating in a Randomised Controlled Trial.

Whole-grain bread can be an important source of fibre for people with coeliac disease (CeD) who must adhere to a gluten-free diet and avoid consuming wheat, rye and barley. Gluten-free bread frequently has a lower nutritional quality and different texture relative to gluten-containing counterparts. The aim was to investigate experiences with gluten-free bread amongst people with CeD prior to and during a randomised controlled trial (RCT). We conducted individual interviews with 10 people with CeD participating in a RCT that aimed to investigate the effects of fibre-rich gluten-free products on metabolic regulation in people with CeD compared with benchmark gluten-free products. Five participants were in the control group (benchmark gluten-free bread) and five participants in the intervention group (fibre-rich gluten-free bread). The fibre-rich gluten free bread was formulated and prepared by the project group. The benchmark gluten-free bread was commercially available. The RCT lasted for four weeks. Interviews were conducted digitally between October 2021 and January 2022 and were thematically analysed. Participants in both groups appeared to avoid bread prior to the study, primarily due to the poor taste and chewy consistency of the available bread in food stores and bakeries. Participants preferred the fibre-rich intervention bread as opposed to the available bread in the food market. However, participants had to become accustomed to eating the fibre-rich whole-grain bread during the study, since they avoided eating store-bought bread that they experienced chewy and not filling. Participants asked for fibre-rich gluten-free bread products that are satiating and have a good texture. Palatable gluten-free bread products might be an important source of fibre for people with CeD.

Okara-Enriched Gluten-Free Bread: Nutritional, Antioxidant and Sensory Properties.

The aim of this study was to produce an eco-innovative gluten-free bread with a pleasant taste and a unique formulation that includes the highest quality grains and pseudocereals (buckwheat; rice; and millet); and okara; a by-product of soy milk production. The mixture of pseudocereal and cereal flour contained buckwheat flour 45%, rice flour 33%, and millet flour 22%. Three gluten-free breads; each containing different contents of gluten-free flour (90%, 80%, and 70%, respectively); okara (10%, 20%, and 30%, respectively); and a control sample (without okara); were prepared and subjected to sensory evaluation. The okara-enriched gluten-free bread with the highest sensory score was selected for further analysis of physico-chemical (total proteins; total carbohydrates; insoluble fiber; soluble fiber; sugars; total lipids; saturated fatty acids; and salt) and functional properties (total phenolic content and antioxidant properties). The highest sensory scores were obtained for 30% okara-enriched gluten-free bread including taste; shape; odor; chewiness; and cross-section properties; classifying this bread in the category of very good quality and excellent quality (mean score 4.30 by trained evaluators and 4.59 by consumers). This bread was characterized by a high content of dietary fiber (14%), the absence of sugar; low content of saturated fatty acids (0.8%), rich source of proteins (8.8%) and certain minerals (e.g.,; iron; zinc); and low energy value (136.37 kcal/100g DW). Total phenolic content was 133.75 mgGAE/100g FW; whereas ferric reducing power; ABTS radical cation; and DPPH radical scavenging activity were 119.25 mgAA/100g FW; 86.80 mgTrolox/100g FW; and 49.92 mgTrolox/100g FW; respectively. Okara addition in gluten-free bread production enables the formulation of high-nutritive; good antioxidative; low-energy bread; and better soy milk waste management.

Composite flour production and assessment of the safety quality of gluten-free bread

Nutrition has the great importance on the human feeling. Moreover, there are some pathologies that can be cured only together with feeding correction. So, current article deals with the cause of chronic celiac disease which causes atrophy of the intestinal mucosa and, as a consequence, impairs proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. The therapy for this disease consists of an exclusive and strict lifelong gluten-free diet. A few years ago it was believed to be a rare disease. Today, however, doctors come to disappointing conclusions: the number of celiac disease sufferers is increasing year by year. Wheat starch, amaranth, and chickpea flour are considered to be promising ingredients to replace wheat flour in baked goods recipes. These culinary components are gluten-free and have a rich chemical composition. The current manuscript presents an experimentally verified formulation for the production of gluten-free bread. The verified composition consists of 50% wheat starch, 25% amaranth flour, and 25% chickpea flour. This composition allows getting bread with good quality proprieties which makes ill people’s life quality style better.

Case study of commercially available gluten-free bread products: Texture changes during storage and sensory analysis

AbstractGluten-free (GF) breads are often described with low quality, rapidly staling, dry mouthfeel and crumbling texture attributes. In lack of recent texture profile data on commercially available, preservative-free, freshly-baked GF bread, this study aimed to compare different types of GF products with their wheat-based counterparts during a 4-day-long storage test. Texture analysis data showed that GF loaves performed better than or comparable to the wheat-based ones in hardness, springiness and cohesiveness. Among sensorial properties mouth-feel, softness and aroma were evaluated as significantly better or similar for GF versus wheat-based products. GF cob had a saltier taste, which reduced the flavour experience. Both the texture results of the storage test and sensory data showed that the quality of GF bread products improved in recent years; they stayed comparable with their wheat-based counterparts even during a 4-day-long storage period.

Development of a recipe for wheat bread with the addition of gluten

In this article, it is necessary to evaluate the quality of bread products containing vegetable additives that increase the quality and nutritional value. The object of the study were samples of bakery products, in the production of which gluten was added to the flour mass in the following quantities: 2%, 4% and 6%. Samples of bakery products are made on the laboratory equipment of RZA-NAN LLP and studied on the basis of the laboratory for determining the quality of products. The samples are made with the addition of gluten to the flour mass. in a laboratory mill, they were crushed, suspended in a dough spreader, baked in an oven at a temperature of 200 to 230 ° C. The most used cause of wheat gluten is the regulation of the protein level of flour in the preparation of flour or baking. The introduction of gluten into flour, firstly, enriches it with the missing protein, secondly, affects the growth of products, thirdly, significantly improves the quality of gluten bread, allows you to create a stable dough structure, control its stretching, increase gas insulation ability, improve structural and mechanical characteristics, and therefore improves the quality of the final product. During the research work, all innovative technologies and techniques used in the manufacture of gluten-free bread products in general on the territory of bread were identified and studied. RZA LLP applies new innovative technologies to implement the technological process of production of bakery products and other confectionery products in the bread shop.

Technological aspects of rice gluten-free bread production

The article presents data on the study of the influence of hydrocolloids and protein additives on the technological aspects of gluten-free rice bread production. The method of full-factor experiment PFE 2 3 determined the optimal conditions for bread production – the amount of yeast 1.5% by flour weight, dough moisture 60%, duration of fermentation, and proofing 70 minutes. The prescribed amount of yeast, salt, agar, and gelatin was dissolved in water at 35 ºC and mixed with the specified amount of rice flour. The dough was kneaded for 15 minutes. The dough was placed in the mould and left to ferment for 40 minutes and stand for 30 minutes at the temperature of 30 ºC. After fermentation, the dough was divided into pieces weighing 50 grams, placed in baking tins, and baked for 35 – 40 minutes at the temperature of 180 ºC. Since adding polysaccharides and protein improvers to the recipe of gluten-free dough to regulate its technological properties can significantly affect the intensity of fermentation and the activity of amylolytic enzymes of flour, studied the dynamics of carbon dioxide release gluten-free rice dough. It was found that additives of protein nature increase the amount of carbon dioxide accumulation in gluten-free dough by 33 – 44%. It is experimentally substantiated that the recommended duration of fermentation of rice flour dough with the addition of gelatin is 45 – 50 min, with the addition of agar 25 – 30 min, and the mixture of gelatin and agar 35 – 45 min. It is established that to achieve full readiness of bread based on rice flour, it is possible after 35 minutes of baking at 200 ºC. When extending the duration of heat treatment, the quality of bread does not change, so long-term heat treatment is not economically feasible.

Effects of Teff-Based Sourdoughs on Dough Rheology and Gluten-Free Bread Quality.

Production of gluten-free bread (GFB) with good quality characteristics represents a technological challenge. Our study aimed to obtain nongluten bread from cereals and pseudocereals with applying single cultures of Pediococcus acidilactici, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Enteroccocus durans as sourdoughs. The effect of sourdoughs on the quality traits of gluten-free (GF) dough and GFB was explored. The structural and baking properties of GF dough composed of teff, rice, corn, and sorghum flours were improved by adding xanthan gum (0.6%), guar gum (1.0%) and carboxymethyl cellulose (1.0%). The tested strains reached 108 cfu/g in teff flour and produced sourdoughs with a pleasant lactic aroma. The sourdough-fermented doughs were softer and more elastic compared to control dough and yielded reduced baking loss. Strain Enterococcus durans ensured the best baking characteristics of GF dough and the highest softness of the GFB during storage. Strain Pediococcus pentosaceus had the most pronounced positive effect on aroma, taste and aftertaste. Pan baking was found to be more appropriate to obtain stable shape and good-looking products. A careful starter culture selection is necessary for GFB development since a significant effect of strain specificity on dough rheology and baking characteristics was observed.

Texture profile analysis and sensory evaluation of commercially available gluten-free bread samples

The need for better quality gluten-free (GF) bread is constantly growing. This can be ascribed to the rising incidence of celiac disease or other gluten-associated allergies and the widespread incorrect public belief, that GF diet is healthier. Although there is a remarkable scientific interest shown to this topic, among the numerous studies only a few deals with commercially available products. The gap between research and commercial reality is already identified and communicated from a nutritional point of view, but up to date texture studies of commercial GF breads are underrepresented. In this study, 9 commercially available GF bread were compared to their wheat-based counterparts from texture and sensory viewpoints. Results showed that among GF loaves products, some performed significantly better at hardness and springiness attributes during the 4-day-long storage test compared to the wheat-based products. Two of GF cob breads performed significantly better or on the same level as the wheat-based cob regarding to hardness and cohesiveness during 3 days. Among sensorial properties mouth-feel, softness and smell were evaluated as significantly better or similarly for some GF versus wheat-based products. Two GF bread had more salty taste which reduced the flavor experience. Both the texture and sensory data of the storage test indicate that the quality of some GF bread products has significantly improved in the recent years; they stayed comparable with their wheat-based counterparts even for a 4-day-long storage period.

Effect of the addition of high-temperature water on the properties of batter and bread made from gluten-free rice flour.

Increasing number of individuals worldwide are consuming gluten-free products, for example, bread, for health and other reasons. However, gluten-free products are currently expensive and/or their preparation involves the use of specialist machinery or food additives. In this study, we focused on the thickening effect of starch gelatinization and attempted to develop a novel method for gluten-free rice flour bread production without the use of additives. We aimed to determine the effect of adding high-temperature water to gluten-free rice flour on the properties of the resulting batter, primarily gelatinization. The water was tested at temperatures between 50 and 80°C, in 2°C increments. For comparison, control bread from gluten-free rice flour was made using cold (5°C) water. The addition of water at a temperature between 66 and 70°C significantly improved the specific volume and firmness of bread (p<0.05, Dunnett's test; compared with control). Additionally, maintaining the gelatinization temperature of the bread batter for approximately 1-10 s and the degree of gelatinization of batter, approximately 5%-10%, were crucial for obtaining good-quality bread. Further, the addition of water at a temperature above 78°C adversely affected the bread-making properties. This simple method developed for making high-quality bread from gluten-free rice flour will make gluten-free bread products more widely available to and acceptable by the consumers. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Currently, making high-quality bread from gluten-free rice flour involves the use of food additives or special rice flour. Here, we present a simple method for producing high-quality bread by manipulating the temperature of water added during the preparation of rice flour batter. We optimized the method by analyzing the gelatinization properties of the batter and determined the optimal water temperature suitable for bread making. This method yields high-quality gluten-free bread and is cost-effective and simple to implement.

Modern quality requirements for gluten-free bread products

The article is devoted to the topical issue of our time, namely the quality of gluten-free food products within the framework of international standards. This priority direction of studying the quality characteristics of gluten-free bakery products was of interest to domestic scientists, but the analysis of samples was mostly carried out using modern application software packages and international experience was not covered. Therefore, for the stable development of the industry, it is necessary to conduct a comparative characterization of the existing regulatory documents. It is summarized that the market of gluten-free products grows annually and has a stable trend of development in Ukraine and abroad. Based on available sources, it was determined that among the five existing domestic manufacturers, only two craft bakeries (bakeries «Inaksha» and «Bezgrishna bakery», which are located in Kyiv) certified their own developments, while the other three operate without a corresponding certificate of conformity. Since the presence of such confirmation of the safety of products guarantees their high quality, a conclusion was made about the need to develop the industry in the gluten direction. The basic European standards for gluten-free food products, namely AEOCS, BRCGS and EU technical regulations, were analyzed. The characteristics of regulatory documents are summarized, and their features are also given. Modern requirements for gluten-free bakery products, quality indicators and control methods are presented. As a result of theoretical studies, a generalized table is given regarding the requirements of the considered standards for the production and actual gluten-free bakery products. Prospects for further research determine the ratio of quality indicators of the developed products of craft production with the requirements of standards in laboratory conditions to confirm their safety and the possibility of certification.

Optimization of gluten-free bread production with low aflatoxin level based on quinoa flour containing xanthan gum and laccase enzyme

This study was aimed to develop a new cereal-based product using quinoa flour, xanthan gum, and laccase and also to evaluate their effects on the quality characteristics of gluten-free bread (GFB). Experimental design method was applied for optimization of gluten-free formulation. The effects of three variables of quinoa flour (0–50%), laccase activity (0–2 U/g flour), and xanthan gum (0–0.5%) on the contents of total aflatoxin (TAF) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), color indices (L*, a*, and b*), and texture properties (hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness) of GFB were evaluated. The results showed that quinoa flour and laccase enzyme significantly reduced TAF and AFB1 (p < 0.05). The lowest AFB1 level (3.67 ± 0.96 ng/g) in the GFB formulation containing quinoa flour (40%), laccase enzyme (2.0 U/g), and xanthan gum (0.46%) was very close to the predicted amount (3.66 ± 0.96 ng/g). Quinoa flour significantly reduced the L* and a* values and increased b* value and improved the texture parameters. Laccase enzyme also improved color indices and texture properties. Therefore, the use of laccase enzyme and quinoa flour is recommended based on the desired effect on the quality characteristics of GFB.

Rheological behaviour, physical and sensory properties of orange fleshed sweet potato and soy concentrate bread.

Trends on the use of non-wheat flours for bread production has led to researches on improving the rheological characteristics of such non-wheat flours. This aim of this study was to determine the effect of soy concentrate on the protein and rheological behaviour (pasting and mixolab) of the orange-fleshed sweet potato composite flour as well as the physical and sensory qualities of the bread produced. The experimental design to obtain the optimum blends was carried out using optimum design of response surface methodology; with sweat potato, soy bean concentrate, date palm flour and potato starch as the independent variables. The result shows that protein values ranged from 6.19 to 21.10%, carotenoid values ranged from 0.11 to 26.18mg/100g. pasting temperature ranged from 68.50 to 82.33°C; peak viscosity ranged between 159 and 1040 RVU, the breakdown value ranged between 24 and 272 RVU and the setback value ranged from 75 to 368 RVU. The bread loaf weights ranged from 111 to 256g and the specific loaf volume ranged from 0.7 to 1.6cm3/g. The bread samples varied significantly (p < 0.05) with the consumer's acceptability in terms of aroma, appearance, taste and overall acceptability. It was observed that soy-concentrate increase the protein content and improves rheological properties of the composite flour for the production of gluten free bread.

Production of gluten free bread with flour and chia seeds (Salvia hispânica L)

The need for gluten-free products on the market due to the growing increase in the celiac population, which requires a gluten-free diet, becomes a challenge for Food Technology to develop gluten-free and quality foods. This study aimed to develop and evaluate gluten-free bread with the addition of chia seed or chia flour. Gluten-free bread formulations were developed where 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10% chia seed or flour were added, based on rice flour, and were then evaluated for proximal composition and physical, technological, and sensory characteristics. The addition of chia flour and chia seed to gluten-free bread provided a significant increase (greater than 70%) in protein content, improving its nutritional quality. The addition of chia seed had a beneficial effect on the specific volume of the bread, as well as a higher total score. The bread added with chia flour showed greater firmness and less loss of mass during baking. In the sensory evaluation, gluten-free bread with 4% chia flour and 6% chia seed did not differ from the control bread, being well accepted by consumers. Therefore, the addition of chia contributed positively to gluten-free bread, providing more nutritious and good quality food.

Extruded whole grain flours and sprout millet as functional ingredients for gluten-free bread

This work aimed to use thermoplastic extrusion technology as a pretreatment for whole grain flours (corn, parboiled brown rice, and sorghum) and the incorporation of germinated millet at 5% for the production of gluten-free bread. The study characterized the flour (chemical composition and particle size distribution), evaluated the dough (pasting, empirical and fundamental rheological properties) and analyzed the bread quality characteristics (physical, structural, and textural measurements). Thermoplastic extrusion enabled the development of consistency, improved water absorption (105–153%) and viscoelastic properties of the doughs. This process caused an increase of the specific volume (66, 33 and 82%, respectively for corn, rice and sorghum made bread), and formation of better internal air cell distribution in the three different breads produced, especially in the sorghum bread. In addition, parboiled brown rice showed atypical pasting and rheological properties of the dough, which also affected the quality characteristics of the bread. The incorporation of 5% germinated millet enhanced breadcrumb softness in all samples, particularly for extruded rice flour added of germinated millet flour sample, which presented similar hardness values (7.3 N) and springiness (0.97) to whole wheat flour.

Improvement of gluten-free bread production technology

This article presents the improvement of the technology of production of gluten-free bakery products for people suffering from celiac disease, using non-traditional flour.. A review of various possibilities for improving the quality of baking gluten-free bakery products, leveling the crumb structure and increasing the final volume of bread is carried out. In the course of the study, bread was baked from a mixture of rice and corn flour with the addition of flaxseed flour in an amount of 5%, 10%, 15% instead of part of corn and rice flour. Flaxseed flour was added together with all the prescription components during the kneading of the dough. Bread baked from a mixture of rice and corn flour with the addition of flaxseed flour had good organoleptic quality indicators, but the baked products were with explosions and cracks on the surface. The aroma was characteristic of bread. The taste of baked bread became brighter as the percentage of flaxseed flour increased. The developed recipe will expand the range of gluten-free food products of domestic production.
