Statistical evaluation of different technological and rheological tests of Polish wheat varieties for bread volume prediction

Forty‐two Polish wheat flour were used to establish correlation coefficients between protein content, Zeleny test, falling number value, amylograph viscosity, farinograph water absorption, bread volume and rheological properties of dough, as shown by use of a extrusion chamber and alveograph. The equations expressing the changes of bread volume and flour water absorption as a function of significantly correlated parameters were calculated. The correlations and their significance depended on wheat quality and the alveographic parameters were significantly correlated with the dough extrusion parameters. The dough extrusion parameters were significantly correlated only with the water absorption of soft wheats. The dough rheological tests were correlated to a greater extent with the values of the Zeleny test than to the protein content. The prediction of the bread volume as a function of flour quality parameters and dough rheological properties was best done by grouping wheat varieties into specific qualitative classes.

Effects of cultivar and soil fertility on grain protein yield,grain protein content,flour yield and breadmaking quality of wheat

Grain protein content affects the flour yield and breadmaking characteristics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L). In this study, grain protein yield, grain protein content, flour yield and loaf volume were quantified for four wheat cultivars (Inia, Carina, Kariega and SST 86) grown under six different soil fertility regimes in a long-term fertilisation and irrigation experiment at the University of Pretoria. The experimental design was a randomised complete block replicated four times, with fertility as the main plots and cultivars as the subplot treatments. Grain protein yield, flour yield, loaf volume and mixograph dough peak mixing time varied among cultivars and soil fertility situations. Grain protein content differed among cultivars, but mixograph water absorption and dough characteristics did not differ. The highest grain protein yield was 873 kg ha⁻¹ for Carina and the lowest 527 kg ha⁻¹ for SST 86. Grain protein content averaged 131 g kg⁻¹ for Carina and 122 g kg⁻¹ for Kariega. Breadmaking performance showed that in a well-balanced soil fertility situation, Kariega produced 1025 cm³ of loaf volume while Inia averaged 950 cm³. Grain protein yield increased with increasing soil fertility, but grain protein content, flour yield, loaf volume, water absorption and mixograph peak mixing time varied with soil fertility. The interaction between cultivar and soil fertility was significant for grain protein yield, grain protein content, flour yield, loaf volume and water absorption but not dough peak mixing time. The results indicate cultivar differences in breadmaking quality characteristics and that soil fertility status affects grain protein yield, grain protein content, flour yield, loaf volume potential and water absorption but not mixograph peak mixing time and dough characteristics. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

Baking Studies and Nutritional Value of Bread Supplemented with Full-Fat Sweet Lupine Flour (L. albus cv Multolupa)

Full-fat sweet lupine flour (FFLF) was used to replace 3, 6, 9 and 12% of the wheat flour (WF) in bread. Physical characteristics of the dough, and the chemical composition and biological quality of the breads were investigated. Farinological studies showed that water absorption increased gradually from 60% for WF to 77% for a blend with 12% FFLF. Developing time, weakening of dough and valorimeter value were adversely modified by addition of FFLF. Different levels of FFLF increased in water absorption, loaf volume and loaf weight as compared to all wheat bread. However, specific loaf volume remained constant (3.72) up to 6% FFLF, then decreased. Protein content of wheat bread increased from 10.3% for the control to 11.7% for 9% FFLF bread. PER increased from 1.72 for the control bread to 2.00 for 9% lupine-bread (p<0.01). Bread with 9% FFLF is a possibility for using this legume in human feeding.     

小麦粉吸水速率与其蛋白组成特性的关系

蛋白质理化特性的差异会导致小麦粉吸水速率的不同。本文以不同吸水速率的小麦粉为研究对象,测定面粉中粗蛋白含量、面筋蛋白含量、湿面筋含量、面筋指数、沉降值、谷蛋白溶胀指数、氨基酸含量及观测面团内部微观网络结构。结果表明,当粗蛋白含量13.25%降低到6.98%时,小麦粉的吸水速率从0.17 g/s增大到3.87 g/s;当麦醇溶蛋白含量从4.02%下降到1.53%及麦谷蛋白含量从5.28%下降到2.77%时,因形成的面筋膜的质量下降使小麦粉的吸水速率增大。同时吸水速率随湿面筋含量的减小而显著性增大,面筋指数对吸水速率无显著性影响。沉降值从69.50m L降到32.50 mL,谷蛋白溶胀指数从5.24%下降到3.33%,均与吸水速率呈显著性负相关(p0.05)。半胱氨酸含量从0.14%降低到0.04%,导致二硫键含量下降,使蛋白质间的分子作用力下降。当面团内部面筋网络结构紧密时,面粉成团时的阻力越大,其吸水速率越小。本研究表明蛋白质性质与小麦粉吸水速率呈负相关。     

Bread Quality of Wheat Flour by Near-Infrared Spectrophotometry: Feasibility of Modeling

Commercial bakeries need a means to measure the dough-handling and bread-making functionalitv of wheat flour during processing. The feasibility of using near-infrared (NIR) reflectance spectrophotometry for such measurement was examined. Flour from hard red spring and hard red winter wheat were tested for: water absorption, dough mixing time, dough mixing tolerance, loaf height, internal grain appearance, and overall bake score. The ability of NIR to measure protein level, and/ or starch damage, as well as positive relationships between the two and water absorption, probably made it successful for modeling water absorption. Models for the remaining five indices were less accurate due to the complexity of interactions between protein, starch, and lipids, and inadequate instrument sensitivity.     

GLUTEN QUALITY PREDICTION AND CORRELATION STUDIES IN SPRING WHEATS

ABSTRACT

Gluten, “cohesive, viscoelastic, proteinaceous material prepared as a by‐product of the starch isolation from wheat flour” and the storage and dough‐forming protein of wheat flour, is the key to the unique ability of wheat to suit the production of leavened products. Wet gluten was only affected by wheat varieties, while dry gluten was affected by wheat varieties, crop years and their interaction. The wet and dry gluten ranged 8.0–43.13% and 2.58–14.55%, respectively, and were positively correlated with Zeleny value, sodium dodecyl sulfate sedimentation value and falling number. The gluten content was higher in Pavon, SA 42 and Faisalabad 85, while Zeleny value was higher in GA 02 and C 518, resulting in better gluten quality. Zeleny value was negatively correlated with crude protein content (r = –0.1857*). The lowest amount of wet and dry gluten was detected in Triticale and durum wheats as compared to common wheats. Zeleny value and sedimentation value may be used as indicators of gluten content and quality while working on wheats. The information thus collected will be valuable for cereal chemists and wheat breeders for improvements in their future breeding programs.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

This research work will be a breakthrough and helpful for wheat breeders, growers, millers and bakers for their intended uses as every consumer demand specific wheat quality characteristics for their end products.

     

The influence of monoacylglycerol and L‐glutamic acid on the viscoelastic properties of wheat flour dough and sensory characteristics of French loaf product

BACKGROUND: The influence of monoacylglycerol Rimulsoft Super(V) and L ‐glutamic acid added to wheat flour dough was studied. Properties of the doughs were evaluated on the basis of chemical analysis and rheological measurements on a farinograph. Bakery products made from these doughs were subsequently subjected to sensory analyses. RESULTS: It was found that L ‐glutamic acid influenced the water absorption in dough more (50.0 g kg^?1; water absorption 56.6%) than monoacylglycerol Rimulsoft Super(V) (50.0 g kg^?1; water absorption 55.0%). Farinograph measurements showed that doughs with the addition of L ‐glutamic acid resembled flour containing high‐quality gluten, but dough with the addition of monoacylglycerol Rimulsoft Super(V) corresponded to ‘weak’ flour. Sensory analyses revealed that, in comparison with the control sample of French loaf, the saliva‐absorbing capacity increased in the French loaf with the highest addition of L ‐glutamic acid (30.0 g kg^?1). Deterioration in quality and texture in French loaf with addition of L ‐glutamic acid (8.0 g kg^?1, 30.0 g kg^?1) was noted. No other statistically significant differences were found. CONCLUSION: It is acceptable to add both additives to dough in order to modify its rheological properties. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry     

小麦面粉蛋白质特性和面团流变学特性的关系

目的探究小麦面粉蛋白质理化特性与面团流变学特性之间的关系。方法以19份抗旱节水鉴定品种小麦籽粒为试验材料,测定了蛋白质、湿面筋、谷蛋白大聚体含量、沉降指数等面粉蛋白质理化特性,以及粉质参数和拉伸参数等面团流变学特性,采用通径分析研究了面粉蛋白质理化特性与面团流变学特性的关系。结果面粉蛋白质含量对面团吸水率直接增强效应较大,但对稳定时间、拉伸长度的抑制效应较大;谷蛋白大聚体含量对形成时间、最大拉伸阻力、拉伸面积的直接增强效应和综合增强效应均较大;沉降指数对稳定时间和最大拉伸阻力、拉伸面积的直接增强和综合增强效应较大;所测蛋白质理化特性中未发现对拉伸长度有增强效应的指标。结论面粉中谷蛋白大聚体含量和沉降指数是对面团形成时间、稳定时间、拉伸阻力影响较大的因素,影响为正效应,可为专用面粉生产质量控制提供参考。     

Relationship between free glutathione content and quality assessment parameters of wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.)

Freshly milled flour samples from ten cultivars of bread wheat were analysed for free reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidised glutathione (GSSG) by an enzymic method. Dough rheological properties for each flour were assessed by standard Brabender techniques. Flour quality differences were also measured by Pelshenke fermentation and Zeleny sedimentation techniques. Reduced glutathione levels were negatively correlated with oxidised glutathione levels, Farinogram mixing tolerance, Extensogram resistance, Pelshenke time and Zeleny volume. The ratios of oxidised to reduced glutathione (GSSG: GSH) were positively correlated with all dough and flour quality parameters, except Extensogram extensibility. It is concluded that there are differences in the endogenous contents of reduced and oxidised glutathione between flour samples from ten cultivars of wheat. These differences may contribute significantly to variations in the quality assessment parameters established between cultivars in this study.     

小麦麸皮微波处理对全麦粉面筋品质和流变学特性的影响

Dough properties and baking characteristics of white bread,as affected by addition of raw,germinated and toasted pea flour

Thermal and non-thermal processing may alter the structure and improve the techno-functional properties of pulses and pulse flours, increasing their range of applications in protein-enhanced foods. The effects of germination and toasting of yellow peas (Pisum sativum) on flour and dough characteristics were investigated. Wheat flour was substituted with raw, germinated and toasted pea flour (30%). The resulting bread-baking properties were assessed. Toasting increased dough water absorption and improved dough stability compared with germinated and raw pea flour (p < 0.05). This resulted in bread loaves with comparable specific volume and loaf density to that of a wheat flour control. Significant correlations between dough rheological properties and loaf characteristics were observed. Addition of pea flours increased the protein content of the breads from 8.4% in the control white bread, to 10.1–10.8% (p < 0.001). Toasting demonstrated the potential to improve the techno-functional properties of pea flour. Results highlight the potential application of pea flour in bread-making to increase the protein content.

Impact of the fungal protease produced by Fusarium culmorum on the protein quality and breadmaking properties of winter wheat

Samples artificially infected by Fusarium culmorum were analyzed to assess the effects of Fusarium infection on the protein quality of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The Fusarium infection did not noticeably influence either the crude protein content or the water absorption ability of the wheat flour. The protease activity found in the wheat flour was inversely correlated to the sedimentation value. In contrast, it was positively correlated to both the free amino acid content and the degree of infection as expressed in Fusarium protein equivalents (FPE) quantified by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A distinct reduction in the content of both total glutenin and high molecular weight glutenin subunits was detected in the seriously infected samples (FPE>20 µg g^–1). The infection with Fusarium impaired the dough quality and led to a deformed loaf shape. The fungal protease was active over both a wide range of temperatures (from 10 to 100 °C) and a wide range of pH values (from 4.5 to 8.5). The maximum protease activity was displayed at 50 °C in the pH range 6.0–8.0. This property indicates that the protease produced by F. culmorum may impair storage proteins throughout all the processing procedures associated with wheat flour, thereby causing weak dough properties and, consequently, unsatisfactory bread quality.     

Bread quality and nutritional value of 'Marraqueta' and 'Hallulla' supplemented with full-fat sweet lupin flour (Lupinus albus cv. Multolupa)

'Marraqueta' and 'Hallulla' breads, widely consumed in Chile, were enriched with 6, 9 and 12% full-fat sweet lupin flour (FFLF) containing a small amount of alkaloids (0.025%) and 42.8% protein. Physical characteristics of the dough and the chemical composition and biological quality of the breads were investigated. Farinograph measurements showed that water absorption increased gradually from 61.3% for wheat flour to 79.8% for a blend with 12% FFLF. Developing time, weakening of dough and valorimeter value were not severely modified. Different levels of FFLF increased loaf weight as compared to all wheat bread. Protein content increased from 13.2% for the control to about 16% for 12% FFLF breads. Protein efficiency ratio (PER) values significantly increased (P < 0.01) for 12% FFLF breads: 'Marraqueta' from 1.10±0.09 to 1.59±0.12 and 'Hallulla' from 1.21±0.09 to 1.63±0.07. Apparent digestibility was about 86% and was not changed by FFLF inclusion up to 12%. Twelve per cent FFLF is a recommendable level to enrich 'Hallulla' and 'Marraqueta' in biological quality without affecting the farinological parameters. The results of acceptability tests will be published in due course.

为促进陕西传统特色面食Biangbiang面的产业化,研究小麦粉品质特性与Biangbiang面品质的关系。以市售12种小麦粉为原材料,测定其理化指标和流变学指标,并对由这些小麦粉制成的Biangbiang面进行感官评价和质构测定。相关分析表明:小麦粉的蛋白质质量分数、沉淀值、吸水率、形成时间、稳定时间、弱化度、粉质质量指数、最大拉伸阻力、拉伸比例与面的感官品质存在显著或极显著相关;蛋白质质量分数、沉淀值、形成时间、稳定时间、粉质质量指数、拉伸面积和最大拉伸阻力与质构指标的硬度、咀嚼性、弹性存在显著或极显著正相关。通过主成分分析和聚类分析得出适合制作Biangbiang面的小麦粉品质指标范围:蛋白质质量分数11. 02%～12. 66%、沉淀值26. 06～36. 26 m L、吸水率61. 27%～65. 83%、形成时间4. 36～5. 74 min、稳定时间5. 40～7. 86 min、弱化度55. 17～89. 83 FU、粉质质量指数73. 38～104. 12、拉伸面积82. 88～113. 12 cm2、最大拉伸阻力416. 68～564. 82 BU、拉伸比例1. 63～3. 27。     

Effect of an enzyme preparation on wheat flour and dough color, mixing, and test baking

Bleaching flours with natural rather than chemical extracts is attractive because it reduces risks upon exposure and appeals to natural food consumers. This paper reports effects of a commercial proprietary blend of ‘natural’ bleaching enzymes on wheat flour and dough color, mixing behavior and test bake performance. Enzyme preparation did not improve whiteness (L*) and yellowness (b*) of flour system, but benzoyl peroxide sharply reduced b*. For whole wheat flour dough, L* increased for enzyme-treated dough after 2-h resting, ending higher than benzoyl peroxide and control dough. Yellowness increased in enzyme-treated dough. When enzyme application was during milling, resulting whole wheat flour dough had much higher L*. Mixograms of flours with increasing enzyme concentration showed severe dough weakness and rapid breakdown. Dialysis of the enzyme preparation in 3500 molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) tubes and freeze-drying prior to flour application recovered dough strength. l-cysteine in the enzyme mix was thought to adversely affect dough strength, and dialysis helped recover dough strength. However, pup loaf baking with dialyzed enzyme showed some loss of baking characteristics (loaf volume, loaf weight, and proof height) over the control. Although the natural enzyme extract addition enhanced whiteness for whole wheat dough, its effects on dough and baking properties were not favorable.     

小麦淀粉特性与面包烘烤品质的相关性

利用国内外40个面包小麦品种(系)进行了淀粉性状与面包烘烤品质性状的相关性分析，比较了国内外小麦在加工品质和淀粉性状的差异。结果表明，直链淀粉含量与面包品质性状(Zeleny沉淀值、面团形成时间和稳定时间)呈极显著负相关；淀粉总量与面包品质性状呈负相关，但相关不显著；面粉膨胀势与面包品质性状呈极显著正相关。国内外小麦品种(系)相比，Zeleny沉淀值、面团形成时间和稳定时间等性状差异较大；在淀粉性状和面包品质性状上，国外小麦品种(系)明显优于国内材料。讨论认为，蛋白质和淀粉对小麦的面包烘烤品质都有一定的影响。直链淀粉含量、支链淀粉含量和膨胀势可作为小麦品质育种亲本选配、后代选择的指标。改良我国小麦淀粉的主要目标是降低直链淀粉含量。     

Effect of flour blending on functional, baking and organoleptic characteristics of bread

Soybean (full‐fat and defatted) and barley flours were incorporated into wheat flour at 5, 10, 15 and 20% substitution levels. The gluten content, sedimentation value and water absorption capacity of the flour blends and the mixing time of the dough decreased with increase in the level of soybean and barley flour separately and in combinations. Protein and glutelin contents increased significantly on blending of soyflour (full‐fat and defatted) to bread wheat flour. The breads prepared from the blends also varied in their loaf weight, loaf volume and sensory characteristics. The bread volume decreased with increasing amount of non‐wheat flour substitution. The crumb colour changed from creamish white to dull brown and a gradual hardening of crumb texture was observed as the addition of soybean (full‐fat and defatted) and barley flours increased. At the higher levels, the acceptability declined because of the compact texture of the crumb and the strong flavour of the product. The addition of 10% of soyflour (full‐fat and defatted) or 15% of barley flour, full‐fat soy + barley or defatted soy + barley flour to bread flour produced acceptable bread.     

Chemical, nutritional and sensory properties of bread supplemented with lupin seed (Lupinus albus) products

Sweet lupin Lupinus albus seed flour (SLSF), two sweet lupin protein isolates (SLPI-I and SLPI-II) and sweet lupin seed protein concentrate (SLSPC) were added to wheat flour (WF) in an amount of 3, 6, 9 and 12% of wheat flour. The effects of lupin products supplementation on physical dough properties were studied using a Brabender farinograph. Loaves were prepared from the various blends using the straight dough procedure and then evaluated for volume, crust and crumb colour, crumb texture, flavour and overall quality. Water absorption, development time and dough weakening were significantly (P < 0.05) increased as the lupin product levels increased in all doughs; however, dough stability decreased. Lupin products could be added to WF up to 9% level (SLPI-I and SLPI-II) and 6% level (for other lupin products), without any observed detrimental effect on bread sensory properties. No significant (P > 0.05) differences were recorded in loaf volume between control and breads containing SLPI-I and II (up to 9% level) and SLSPC (up to 3% level). Addition of lupin products increased the content of protein and total essential amino acids, especially lysine. The addition also improved in-vitro protein digestibility.
