This study assessed the selected properties of bread with reduced amount of sodium chloride. The bread was made from white and wholemeal wheat flour and rye flour. The dough was prepared using three techniques: with yeast, natural sourdough or starter sourdough. Sodium chloride was added to the dough at 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% of the flour mass. The following bread properties were examined in the ...

Yeasts isolated from a freshly tapped palm wine obtained from Akure, Nigeria were identified as Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Debaryomyces hansenii, Geotrichum lactis and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. Each of the isolates was used to ferment wheat flour dough and baked. Sensory analysis of the doughs was carried out using leavening, texture, aroma, taste and appearance. Sacch...

Background and Objective: Quick-frozen dumpling is widely consumed in China. Inclusion Potato Granule (PG) into dumpling wrappers will extend utilization of this cheap flour in the staple food. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of partial substitution of wheat flour with PG in the dumpling wrappers. Methodology: In this study, cooking qualities of dumpling wrappers con...

The consequences of addition of 1 % (w/w) glutenin of selected commercial wheat varieties, differing in their quantitative and qualitative gluten profile, to the base flour were investigated. The study was accomplished by employing an advanced 4 g bowl of MicrodoughLab (MDL). The elementary torque-time functions such as peak resistance,dough development time, dough stability, softening and ener...

Background & Aim: Elaeagnus angustifolia L, belongs to Elaeagnaceae family, and, growing in Azarbaijan, Kurdistan, Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari and Esfahan provinces, Iran. Elaeagnus fruit contains a wide range of different food components. Recent researches indicated that there are remedial properties in this plant and, is used as painkiller in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and seizu...

Two fractions (50-K and permeate) from a proteolytic hydrolysate (degree of hydrolysis, DH=3.8 %) of wheat gluten were separated using ultrafiltration (UF) membrane with molecular mass cut-off of 50 kDa. The effects of the wheat gluten hydrolysate (WGH) and its UF fractions on the mixing behaviour and viscoelastic properties of wheat dough were presented. The WGH and its UF fractions modified t...

The rheological properties of wheat dough directly influence the texture and appearance of bakery products, and the effect of wheat proteins on flour dough properties is a question attracting considerable interest. We present results that complement this ongoing theoretical scrutiny by empirically relating intrinsic grain properties to end-use flour characteristics. More specifically, we presen...

Surfactants are widely used in bakeries as dough strengtheners and dough improvers but there is a wide range of compounds available according to their mode of action that could potentially improve the quality of not only the simple breads and doughs but also of frozen dough. These types of product usually have a short shelf-life when compared with normal bakery products. With the increase in mo...
