Nutritional Value Of Bread Research Articles

INVESTIGATION OF THE RHEOLOGICAL, NUTRITIONAL, AND SENSORY PROPERTIES OF THE GLUTEN-FREE BREAD PRODUCED FROM RICE, BEAN, AND CHICKPEA FLOUR

In recent years, the demand for gluten-free products has been constantly increasing due to the increase in the number of people suffering from celiac disease. Bread is the main product consumed in our country; therefore, gluten-free bread for celiac patients on the market is mostly of poor quality and low nutritional value, while gluten-free flour has a very high price. The purpose of this work was to investigate the rheological properties of dough, the nutritional value of bread, as well as the sensory properties of gluten-free bread produced from mixtures of raw materials such as rice, chickpea, and bean flour, corn starch, and egg powder. The results showed that the gluten-free bread had different rheological properties, and only mixes M5 and M6 had similar rheological properties, such as dough development, stability, and degree of softening, to the control bread M1. Gluten-free bread from mixtures M2 and M3 had higher contents of protein, fat, cellulose, and minerals, while bread from mixtures M5 and M6 had medium contents. Bread M2 and M3 had acidity levels above the allowed limits which made them unusable or had a short shelf life. Sensory analyses showed that bread M5 had similar sensory properties to the control bread M1 and fell into the same quality category; also, bread from the M5 mixture has a much better taste and aroma. For consumption, we recommend using gluten-free bread from the M5 mixture, which in its composition has 80% rice flour, 7.5% chickpea flour, 5% bean flour, and 7.5% egg powder.

The implementation of the task of stable provision of the population with good quality bread and high nutritional value is based on improving the technology of bread using sorghum flour in accordance with the global trend of safe and healthy nutrition. The results on the chemical composition and nutritional value (amino acid content, mineral composition, and vitamins) of sorghum flour were obtained, a comparative analysis with wheat flour was carried out. An analysis of the amylographic characteristics of flour and dough with the addition of various amounts of sorghum flour, improvers, and enzyme preparations was carried out. As a source of nutrients, the effect of sorghum flour on the rheological and baking properties of wheat dough was studied. The effect of the studied flour on the quality of finished bread was established. The complex effect of the Emceft improver and the KAZenzym enzyme preparation on the quality of dough and bread, including from sorghum flour, was studied. For the first time, the use of sorghum flour of the Kazakhstan 20 variety for the production of bread in combination with an improver and an enzyme preparation has improved the chemical composition, rheological and baking properties of the dough. Research shows that bread with the use of sorghum flour diversifies the diet and promotes human health due to its nutritional composition and potential as a gluten-free food. The scope and conditions of practical use of the results are the possibility of using sorghum for bread making. Achieving these capabilities is based on the developed technology of bread in combination with an improver and an enzyme preparation

Bread made with sourdough is the leader among other baked goods in nutritionist ratings. It is a wonderful source of energy and has a low glycemic index. Making bread using sourdough meets environmental requirements. The use of grain mixtures and their individual components helps to increase the nutritional value of bread and the quality of bread. This paper presents the possibilities of developing bread of nutritional value using sprouted components. The article presents the results of the study. Quality and nutritional value of bread with grain mixtures and components. Organoleptic, physical and chemical, microbiological and rheological studies of semi-finished products and bread of high nutritional value using grain components were carried out. It is proven that the introduction of 28 % of sourdough starter with components from grains, whish were prepared and sprouted in advance, to the mass of flour has a positive effect on the nutritional value of bread.

Effect of cold-pressed Nigella sativa seed meal on dough quality and nutritional value of bread.

This study investigated the application of black cumin meal (BCM) obtained from cold-pressing Nigella sativa seeds in bread baking. The effect of BCM on bread rheological traits and its nutritional value were investigated. Zeleny sedimentation, falling number, Farinograph, and Extensograph values in flour mixed with BCM (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10%) were evaluated. In addition, mineral content, protein, fat, thymoquinone, and crude cellulose contents in bread were investigated. Zeleny sedimentation and falling number values decreased with the increase in BCM in the flour samples. The water absorption, development time, stability, and softening degree values of the dough measured in the Farinograph device did not show a statistically significant difference in the flour with the BCM mixture compared to the control sample. The energy value and extensibility determined in the Extensograph device decreased with the increase in the amount of BCM in the flour. The amount of protein and crude fiber in bread increased with the increase in the amount of BCM. It was noted that there were significant increases in Fe, Ca, Mg, K, and Zn levels with the increase in BCM. Meanwhile, thymoquinone was not found in the bread samples containing BCM. The results revealed that the nutritional values of BCM-mixed bread are rich in protein, minerals, and cellulose.

Optimization of the dough preparation modes using composite flour

To determine the optimal parameters of the final product, a mathematical model of the dough preparation process using oatmeal was developed. As a criterion for optimization, we took the following indicators: organoleptic properties and nutritional value of bread. Input factors: moisture content of WT dough, NM oatmeal content, and acidity of the CT test.

Assessment of technological properties of flour from different manufacturers and the quality of baked goods made of it

The article provides research on the influence of technological properties of wheat flour on the quality of various types of bread products. Studies have shown that differences in the quality indicators of wheat flour within one grade (premium) can affect the porosity, shape and color of the finished product. The nutritional value of bread is estimated by the content of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and other biologically active compounds in it. This indicator is influenced by the quality of the raw materials used, including flour. At the same time, a product made of flour with better quality indicators has a higher price, which affects the selling price of loaves. In this case, the profitability is 15 %.

The influence of grain mixtures on the quality and nutritional value of bread

The desire to survive in a competitive environment mobilizes managers to make unconventional decisions to increase their product range, quality, and safety. This study aims t to create a technology of bread with increased nutritional value using bioactivated cereal mixtures and develop new bread recipes. The experiment used bioactivated wheat and maize grains, flax, rye flour, 1st-graduate wheat flour, spontaneous fermentation starter, salt, and water. Vegetable components such as dried crushed hawthorn berries, jaggery, and barberry were also used. Standard, generally accepted chemical and organoleptic methods of examining raw materials, semi-finished and finished products were used. It was found that the best physical and chemical indices were possessed by testing the bread prepared with the addition of a 20% grain mixture. All experimental analyses improved several parameters compared to the control sample. The nutritional value of obtained products was increased from 0.5 to 3 times. According to the obtained results, it is possible to conclude the relevance of this topic is getting a new range of bread products with increased nutritional value.

Nutritional evaluation of Sphenostylis stenocarpa flour, its bread and effect of additives.

The present research sought to experiment the effect of additives such as dry gluten powder (DGP), fungal α-amylase (FAA), sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL) and their combination (GAS) on the rheological and nutritional profile of bread. The incorporation of varied percentage (0-20%) of stenostylis stenocarpa flour (ssF) into WF(Wheat Flour) was optimized at 15%. The results showed that the incorporation of 15% ssF decreased the farinograph dough stability and extensograph resistance to extension. There was protein matrix disruption in 15% ssF dough contrary to 15% ssF + GAS dough as shown in scanning electron micrograph (SEM). However, the addition of GAS to 15% ssF produced bread with an improved quality score that competed favourably with control bread. The organoleptic evaluation revealed an overall quality score of 52.5, 40 and 49% for control, 15% ssF and 15% ssF + GAS bread respectively. Furthermore, 15% ssF + GAS revealed a higher value of ash, protein, dietary fibre, total phenol contents and IC50 of DPPH radical scavenging activity in comparison to control bread. Hence, the present study showed that partial replacement of WF with 15% ssF + GAS has a positive effect on the overall sensorial acceptability and nutritional value of bread.

Effect of Camel Milk on the Physicochemical, Rheological, and Sensory Qualities of Bread

An increase in bread production has been achieved to meet the increasing demand of the growing population. During the manufacturing process, refined wheat flour, the main ingredient for bread making, loses its nutritional qualities. Hence, it is necessary to use additional nutritional sources to maintain nutritional value. In this study, the rheological, physicochemical, and sensory qualities of bread, prepared using camel milk and water, were evaluated. The increase in the camel milk content resulted in the significant increase in the protein, oil, and ash contents of bread and a decrease in the carbohydrate content. The protein content was increased from 11.95% (100% water) to 14.01% (100% camel milk). The use of camel milk resulted in the progressive increase in the content of two essential fatty acids, α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid ( P < 0.05 ; maximum increase: 1.65% and 20.9%, resp.). The rheological properties of bread (peak viscosity, gelatinisation temperature, and water absorption capacity) could be improved using camel milk. However, reduced dough stability and peak viscosity–temperature were also observed. The increase in the water absorption capacity from 61% to 67% indicated that the supplemented dough was more suitable than the original dough for preparing bread. The physical properties of bread prepared using camel milk (30%) and water (70%) were better than the properties of the control bread sample. Improved sensory attributes were observed under these formulation conditions. Bread containing ≥70% camel milk received lower sensory scores. The results indicated that the use of the formulation consisting of camel milk (30%) and water (70%) could enhance the nutritional value of bread without significantly affecting the acceptability. The results can provide a platform for extending the application of camel milk, primarily used to produce fermented milk, in the food industry. It could be potentially used to address the global problem of acute malnutrition.

Обогащение хлебобулочных изделий с использованием нетрадиционного растительного сырья

The purpose of the research is to substantiate the rational bread technology and a way to increase its nutritional value of bread by using spelled flour. The article discusses the advantages of using spelt flour in the baking industry. The determination of the rational parameters of the technological process was carried out on the basis of studying the dynamics of the gas-forming ability of the dough in conjunction with the change in acidity at the stage of fermentation of semi-finished products

BAKING PROPERTIES OF DIFFERENT AMARANTH FLOURS AS WHEAT BREAD INGREDIENTS

The technological properties of full-fat amaranth flour depend on the varietal characteristics of the Ukrainian amaranth grain and differ significantly from amaranth flour from flakes and amaranth flour from groats. In comparison with patent wheat flour, amaranth flour has a lower moisture content, higher water absorption capacity and autolytic activity. The variety of Amaranthus hypochondriacus significantly effects on the whiteness of full-fat flours, the lightest of which is obtained from the grain cultivar Kharkivsky-1. A higher fat, protein, and fibre content makes amaranth flours more acidic. The water absorption capacity of the flours shows positive correlation with their autolytic activity (+0.885). The acidity negatively correlates with the moisture (-0.939) and whiteness (-0.814) of the flours. Using amaranth flour of the different types to replace 5, 15, and 25% of patent wheat flour when making bread increases its specific volume and crumb porosity and decreases its shape stability. The positive correlation of the overall quality of the bread samples under study with their specific volume (+0.540) and the negative correlation with the acidity (- 0.685) are statistically significant. The shape stability negatively correlates with the porosity (-0.598), and the latter positively correlates with the specific volume (+0.533). The use of full-fat amaranth flour increases the specific volume and porosity of bread by 1.1–1.3 and 1.1 times respectively. The use of defatted flour from flakes leads to a 1.3–1.9 -fold increase in the specific volume and to a 1.1–1.2 -old increase in the porosity. Incorporation of amaranth flour from groats allows increasing the specific volume and porosity of bread by 1.3–1.5 and 1.1–1.2 times respectively. The bread samples with 25% of all amaranth flours considered and with 15% of full-fat flour of the Liera variety have the lowest consumer characteristics. It has been proved that using 5–15% of full-fat flour from the amaranth grain of variety Kharkivsky-1 and defatted flour from flakes and groats (by-products of processing amaranth grain into oil) improves the quality and nutritional value of bread.

Use of inulin-containing raw materials in bakery products

According to modern trends in nutritional science, the range of bakery products should be expanded with the release of products of improved quality and nutritional value, for preventive and therapeutic purposes. The volume of production of dietary products is insignificant, the need for them is satisfied only by 10–20%. The increase in the nutritional value of bread is carried out by regulating the chemical composition of products as a result of the use of raw materials traditional for baking and the introduction of biologically active additives, which make it possible to obtain finished products that have functional properties and are intended for therapeutic and preventive nutrition. The influence of inulin-containing raw materials of Jerusalem artichoke on the quality indicators of bakery products has been studied in order to preserve optimal organoleptic and physicochemical properties and give the products a functional orientation. During the sensory assessment, the surface condition, consistency, structure, dryness, aroma of the dough, its taste and color were examined. With an increase in the percentage of Jerusalem artichoke powder added to the dough, the number of dark inclusions increased, and the artichoke flavor became more pronounced. The degree of digestibility of the proposed buns was determined by the pepsin-trypsin system, which imitates the digestion of food in the human stomach. The offered product expands the range of functional bakery products, improved in biological value (by 23%), vitamin (A, E) and mineral composition. The project of TU and TI, RC has been developed. The bun is promising for implementation in production.

Wholemeal Spelt Bread Enriched with Green Spelt as a Source of Valuable Nutrients

The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional value of wholemeal bread prepared from the flour of spelt wheat (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta) that was enriched by the addition of freeze-dried spelt grain (at proportions of 4%, 8%, and 12%, respectively, in relation to the flour weight). The spelt grain used in the study was harvested at the milk dough stage (the so-called green grain). Green spelt grain was characterized by a significantly higher content of minerals namely P, Mg, Ca and Zn compared to ripe spelt grain. Additionally, it contained significantly higher amounts of amino acids (Asp, Thr, Ser, Gly, Ala, Cys, Val, Met, Ile, Leu, Phe, Lys), lipids, as well as monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and omega-3 and omega-9 acids. However, it had a lower content of palmitic, stearic, and linoleic acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and omega-6 acids. The results showed that the nutritional value of bread was improved by the green spelt grain, however the ω6/ω3 ratio in bread enriched with green spelt grain was slightly less favorable than in control bread. Among all the products tested, bread enriched with a 12% proportion of green spelt grain was characterized by the highest content of almost all the amino acids (except for Pro, Cys, and Met), as well as in Mg, Zn, Mn, Cu and Fe. In addition, overall acceptability of this bread was the highest. Bread enriched with 8% of green grain contained the highest amount of P, Ca, Pro, linoleic acid, PUFA, and ω 6 acids, while bread enriched with 4% of green spelt grain had the highest content of palmitic acid and saturated fatty acids.

Breads fortified with wholegrain cereals and seeds as source of antioxidant dietary fibre and other bioactive compounds

Antioxidant dietary fibre (DF) and bioactive compounds are considered important factors for nutritional and health-promoting properties of cereal products. Breads fortified with wholegrain cereals and seeds are increasingly demanded, making it necessary to investigate the influence of these ingredients on nutritional value of breads. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of wheat flour fortification on the composition in antioxidant DF, non-glycemic oligosaccharides, polyphenols (PC), and antioxidant activity (AA) of the final bread products. Breadmaking affected bioactive compounds in different way depending on flour composition. Although wholegrain flour was the most sensitive to breadmaking process, both multigrain and wholegrain breads stood out for their level in DF, PC and AA, whereas white bread showed higher fructan content. Results showed that replacing of refined flour with other cereals (rye, oat), fibre (wheat bran, wheat fibre) and seeds (flaxseeds, sunflower, sesame) would improve the potential health benefits of breads.

Justification for use of two-component mixtures for cooking wheat bread

The object of research is wheat bread. One of the most problematic places is the need to correct the food ration of the population in order to enrich traditional food with vital nutrients. Taking into account that bread refers to the products that are in the daily diet of the majority of the population, improving its nutritional value helps to improve the diet as a whole. Improving the nutritional value of bread can be achieved by adding alternative types of flour – corn, oatmeal, spring wheat flour. In the course of research, the modeling of formulations was used by the method of tasting evaluation. 9 formulations of bread based on two-component flour mixtures with the addition of corn, oats, buckwheat and spring wheat flour were developed (7.5 % and 15 %). The obtained samples were examined for compliance with organoleptic and physicochemical parameters, as well as safety indices. According to the physicochemical indicators of quality (humidity and acidity), all the samples corresponded to the Ukrainian normative documentation, the safety indicators also did not exceed the permissible limits. The best organoleptic properties were bread, in the composition of the recipe which was added wheat flour in the amount of 7.5 % and 15 %. A high number of points received bread from a mixture of wheat and oat flour (7.5 %). Samples with the addition of corn and buckwheat flour differed in organoleptic properties. This is due to the fact that different types of flour in different ways affect the taste characteristics of the finished product. The received results of researches testify to expediency of application of two-component mixtures of flour. It is expected to improve the amino acid composition of the product, reduce energy value due to the chemical composition of flour used in new formulations. Thanks to this, it is possible to obtain bread for functional and dietary purposes. In comparison with similar known formulations, the developed samples provide the following advantages: improvement of nutritional value, improvement of organoleptic properties of the product.

Isolation of lactic acid bacteria starters from Jeung-pyun for sourdough fermentation.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are key for the fermentation of sourdoughs to improve the quality and nutritive value of bread. The aim of this study was to isolate the LAB starter for sourdough fermentation from Jeung-pyun, a Korean traditional rice cake. Among the twenty two LAB screened, five isolates were selected based on exo-polysaccharide production. Among them, three isolates showed cell growth greater than 8.5Log CFU/g, maximum increase in the volume of dough, and dextran concentration up to 0.16%. During the sourdough fermentation, pH and total titratable acidity (TTA) were changed, as the three isolates synthesized lactic acid and acetic acid with fermentation quotients less than 2.0. They were identified as Leuconostoc lactis EFEL005, Lactobacillus brevis EFEL004, and Le. citreum EFEL006. They displayed good fermentation properties (growth, dextran production, pH, and TTA) in dough and they are regarded as potential starters to be used in sourdough fermentation.

Aspects of bread technology with the use of dried plant raw material

The problem of enriching bakery products with dried plant ingredients is considered in the paper. Cabbage powder, obtained by drying with the mixed heat supply is selected as raw material for enriching the chemical composition of bread. Functional and technological properties of dried cabbage such as organoleptic properties, dispersion, water absorbing ability in different polar media are investigated. Predominant content of particles with dispersion 5...50 microns in powder is shown. High technological potential of the cabbage powder lies in restoring the structure when increasing the polar media temperature. The obtained data allowed to recommend using the cabbage powder directly in dough kneading or preliminary dehydration. Using sesame and flax seeds at excluding sugar and fat from the recipe is proposed to improve the nutritional value of bread with cabbage powder. Optimal dosing of plant raw materials was determined using the design program ‘’OPTIMA’’. The influence of the specified ingredients on production and quality of bread is studied. Improved gas generation, reduced dough proofing time, increased porosity and shape-stability of finished products in comparison with the control sample are shown. Based on the studies, the recipe of “Lean” bread with cabbage powder, sesame and flax seeds is proposed. Excellent taste and compliance of physicochemical quality indicators of new products with existing regulations are shown. Chemical composition and energy value of “Lean” bread is calculated. Increased protein content is shown, fats are represented by unsaturated fatty acids. “Lean” bread has higher staling resistance by indicators of crumb swelling and crumbliness compared with the control sample.

Improving the quality of nutrient-rich Teff ( Eragrostis tef) breads by combination of enzymes in straight dough and sourdough breadmaking

The growing interest in the benefits of wholegrain products has resulted in the development of baked products incorporating less utilised and ancient grains such as, millet, quinoa, sorghum and teff. However, addition of wholegrains can have detrimental effects on textural and sensory bread product qualities. Enzymes can be utilised to improve breadmaking performance of wholegrain flours, which do not possess the same visco-elastic properties as refined wheat flour, in order to produce a healthy and consumer acceptable cereal product. The effects of Teff grain on dough and bread quality, selected nutritional properties and the impact of enzymes on physical, textural and sensory properties of straight dough and sourdough Teff breads were investigated. Teff breads were prepared with the replacement of white wheat flour with Teff flour at various levels (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) using straight dough and sourdough breadmaking. Different combinations of enzymes, including xylanase and amylase (X + A), amylase and glucose oxidase (A + GO), glucose oxidase and xylanase (GO + X), lipase and amylase (L + A) were used to improve the quality of the highest level Teff breads. A number of physical, textural and sensory properties of the finished products were studied. The nutritional value of breads was determined by measuring chemical composition for iron, total antioxidant capacity, protein, fibre and fat. The obtained results were used to estimates intakes of nutrients and to compare them with DRIs. The incorporation of Teff significantly ( P < 0.05) improved dietary iron levels as 30% Teff breads contained more than double the amount of iron when compared to corresponding wheat bread (6 mg/100 g v 2 mg/100 g). Addition of Teff also significantly ( P < 0.05) improved total antioxidant capacity from 1.4 mM TEAC/100 g to 2.4 mM TEAC/100 g. It was estimated that an average daily allowance of 200 g of Teff enriched bread would contribute to DRIs in the range of 42–81% for iron in females, 72–138% for iron in males; 38–39% for protein in males, 46–48% for protein in females; and 47–50% of fibre in adults. The major challenge was encountered in producing the highest level of Teff bread with good textural and sensory attributes. Increasing the level of Teff significantly ( P < 0.05) increased dough development time, degree of softening, crumb firmness and bitter flavour whilst decreasing the dough stability, specific loaf volume and overall acceptability of the bread. Teff breads produced with the addition of enzyme combinations showed significant improvements ( P < 0.05) in terms of loaf volume, crumb firmness, crumb structure, flavour and overall acceptability in both straight dough and sourdough breadmaking.

In situ production and analysis of Weissella confusa dextran in wheat sourdough

Several lactic acid bacteria belonging to the genera Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Weissella have been introduced to wheat sourdough baking for in situ production of exopolysaccharides. This is considered a novel method for improving the shelf-life, volume and nutritional value of bread without additives. However, in situ production of exopolysaccharides during sourdough fermentation is challenged by simultaneous acidification due to metabolic activities of the bacteria, which may significantly diminish the positive technological impact of exopolysaccharides. In this study, the growth, activity and in situ production of dextran by Weissella confusa VTT E-90392 in wheat sourdoughs were investigated. Furthermore, the influence of dextran-enriched sourdoughs, at the addition level of 43%, on the subsequent bread quality was established. W. confusa efficiently produced dextran from the added sucrose in wheat sourdough without strong acid production. A new specific enzyme-assisted method for in situ analysis of dextran in sourdoughs was developed. With this method, we could for the first time proof significant (11–16 g/kg DW) production of polymeric dextran in sourdoughs. Concomitant formation of shorter isomaltooligosaccharides by W. confusa was also detected. The produced dextran significantly increased the viscosity of the sourdoughs. Application of dextran-enriched sourdoughs in bread baking provided mildly acidic wheat bread with improved volume (up to 10%) and crumb softness (25–40%) during 6 days of storage. Hence, W. confusa is a promising new strain for efficient in situ production of dextrans and isomaltooligosaccharides in sourdoughs without strong acidification.

The impact of lactic acid bacteria on sourdough fermentation

The baking of sourdough breads represents one of the oldest biotechnological processes. Despite traditionality, sourdough bread has great potential because of its benefits. Sourdough is a mixture of flour and water that is dominated by a complex microflora composed of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria that are crucial in the preparation of bread dough. Lactic acid bacteria cause acidification by producing lactic acid that increases the shelf life of bread by preventing the growth of undesirable microorganisms and affects the nutritional value of bread by increasing the availability of minerals. In addition to these advantages, the use of sourdough fermentation also improves dough machinability, breadcrumb structure and the characteristic flavour of bread. Lactic acid bacteria in sourdough fermentation are well known representing both homofermentative and heterofermentative bacteria. They may originate from selected natural contaminants in the flour or from a starter culture containing one or more known species of lactic acid bacteria. Sourdough can be cultivated in bakeries or obtained from commercial suppliers. However, many bakeries in Europe still use spontaneously fermented sourdoughs, which have been kept metabolically active for decades by the addition of flour and water at regular intervals. The impact of lactic acid bacteria on sourdough fermentation and their influence on dough and bread quality was discussed on the basis of research and literature data.
