there are many reports on the application of different hydrocolloids in the production of leavened breads; most of which show positive effects on bread quality. however, there is little information to prove such effect on flat breads. the main aim of this study was to improve the quality of barbari dough and bread (iranian flat bread) in terms of texture, taste and general acceptability of fres...

increasing the nutritional value of bread is important since the enriched product can be used for special target groups such as developing countries or special diets. wheat germ, a highly nutritive part of wheat kernel, is a by-product of milling factories and has the potential to be used for food supplementation. the main aim of this research was to supplement flat bread (barbari) with wheat g...

production of part-baked bread is a successful method to postpone bread staling that has been applied widely for production of loaves. in this research, production and some physical characteristics of part-baked flat bread (barbari) including hardness, volume, color, weight loss, and microstructure were studied during the storage of the samples at ambient (25ºc) and freezing (-18ºc) temperature...

barbari is a common iranian flat bread that has a short shelf life. the effect of low density polyethylene/clay nanocomposite film was investigated for the package and shelf life of the flat bread when stored at different temperatures and relative humilities with different percentages of nanoparticles. nanoclay concentrations of 2% and 6% were used for the nanocomposite and pure polyethylene wa...

Recently, consumers have become more concerned with foods contain natural ingredients in terms of health and economic. Hence, in this study the effect of concentrate of smoked and sun dried raisin at 3 levels (1, 3 and 5%) as a natural humectant to improve the quality and shelf life of flat bread were investigated. Results showed that addition of smoked and sun dried raisin improved quality and...

Background and Objectives: Flat breads are the most consumed bread in Iran. Barbari one of the popular ones, is traditional flat leavened Iranian bread and one of the most popular breads consumed in Iran and some other countries in the Middle East. Materials and Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of substitution of wheat flour by whole quinoa flour (0-15% substitution) a...

the effect of flour extraction rate on flour composition, dough rheological characteris-tics and the quality of iranian flat breads (lavash, taftoon and barbari) and their staling rate was investigated. flours with different extraction rates (70, 75, 80, 83, 86, 88, 90 and 93) were subjected to different tests. resultes indicated that, by increasing the extraction rate, the amount of protein, f...

due to the positive effects of fiber on human health, production and distribution of high fiber containing foods is on the increase. amongst different foods, bread is a suitable option to convey fiber in human diets. flat breads which are very common in asian countries, are mainly produced from white flour and hence are low in fiber. the main objectives followed in this study were to produce hi...
