Rheology and baking potential of wheat/plantain composite flour

The possibilty of producing bread from wheat/plantain composite flour has been comprehensively assessed. The chemical analysis of the composite flour showed that it contained less protein and higher carbohydrate and minerals than wheat flour. With increasing levels of supplementation with plantain the water absorption capacity and dough development time of the composite flour decreased. However, the mixing tolerance time increased and the mixing quality decreased. It was found that the baking quality decreased with increasing level of supplementation and when unblanched plantain flour was used. The blend with 100 g kg^?1 blanched plantain and 900 g kg^?1 wheat flour was found to be internally and externally better than other blends and the bread was of acceptable quality.     

Effect of flaxseed and wheat flour blends on dough rheology and bread quality

The rheological and baking properties of flaxseed/wheat composite flours were studied. Flaxseed flour was used to replace 50, 100, 150 and 200 g kg^?1 of wheat flour in bread. Farinographic studies showed that water absorption, dough development time and mixing tolerance index increased as the amount of flaxseed flour increased, while dough stability decreased at 100, 150 and 200 g kg^?1 of flaxseed flour substitution. The extensographic energy of dough also decreased at 150 and 200 g kg^?1 flaxseed levels. The addition of increasing amounts of flaxseed flour caused a decrease in extensibility. Doughs containing 100, 150 and 200 g kg^?1 flaxseed flour showed resistance to extension comparable to that of control dough. The specific volume of flaxseed flour breads was similar to that of control bread. Crust L, a, b values of breads with flaxseed flour were lower than those of control bread. Breads with flaxseed flour gave lower crumb L and b values and higher a values than control bread. The sensory properties showed that an acceptable bread could be produced using flaxseed flour up to a level of 200 g kg^?1. Copyright © 2007 Society of Chemical Industry     

The effects of extruded black rice flour on rheological and structural properties of wheat-based dough and bread quality

Addition of raw black rice flour leads to deficient processability on bread making quality. One of the effective methods to modify the functional properties of black rice flour (BRF) composite dough is to extrude black rice flour (EBRF) before incorporation. This study investigated and compared the effect of BRF and EBRF addition level of 10%–50% on the rheology, microstructure of dough and bread quality. The rheological properties of composite dough were recorded by Mixolab, stress relaxation and tensile test. The substitution of EBRF presented higher water absorption but lower development time, protein weakening, starch gelatinization, starch gel stability and starch retrogradation than wheat flour dough. Both the BRF and EBRF dough presented solid-like behaviour, while the EBRF dough showed more viscous, higher resistance and extensibility than BRF dough. The dough microstructure of dough was observed by SEM, and a more compact structure of EBRF dough could be seen than BRF dough. The incorporation of EBRF in bread quality presented higher specific volume, lower bake loss and firmness than BRF bread. These findings indicated the potential utilisation value of extruded black rice flour in bread making.     

马铃薯全粉对比萨饼底加工工艺及品质的影响

研究马铃薯全粉对比萨面团流变学特性、发酵能力和比萨饼底质构特征、感官品质的影响。结果表明:马铃薯全粉能提高小麦粉的吸水率,缩短面团的形成时间,但会导致比萨面团的稳定时间缩短,弱化度增加;马铃薯全粉的添加量与面团的拉伸阻力、延伸度、最大拉伸比例和拉伸面积呈极显著负相关;马铃薯全粉能够提高面团的发酵能力和弹性,但会导致比萨饼底的硬度增加,感官品质略有下降,因此综合考虑确定马铃薯全粉的最佳添加量为15%;并进一步通过单因素和正交试验确定马铃薯比萨饼底的最佳原料配方为马铃薯全粉添加量15%、加水量60%、酵母添加量1.2%;在最佳原料配方的基础上确定马铃薯比萨的最佳工艺条件为醒发温度38℃、醒发湿度75%、醒发时间30 min、烘烤温度200℃、烘烤时间15 min,所得比萨的硬度为4 166.493 g,感官品质最佳。     

Evaluation of l-ascorbic acid oxidation on SH concentration in soy-wheat composite dough during resting period

The effect of l-ascorbic acid (l-AA) on free sulfhydryl concentration (SH) was evaluated in soy-wheat composite dough from 100-500 (g/kg) soy flour substitution for wheat flour. Raw soy flour (RSF) and physically modified soy flours (PMSF1 and PMSF2) were used for the preparation of the composite dough with wheat flour. The two physically modified soy flours were prepared by steam flushing (PMSF2) and water boiling (PMSF1) of raw soy beans before flour preparation. Using a timer, dough blends were manually mixed (at approximately 60 rpm) to dough development time after which, dough was sampled for the estimation of free SH groups. l-AA (0.05% w/w) was mixed with the dough after dough development and the dough was sampled after 1 h of resting the dough. The results showed that l-AA (0.05% w/w) acted as a reducing agent by increasing SH levels in all soy-wheat dough blends (P<0.05). After 1 h of resting, soy-wheat composite dough without l-AA had lower concentrations of SH than that with l-AA. A positive correlation was shown between soy flour concentrations and SH concentration before and after dough resting. A negative correlation existed between l-AA consumption and SH concentration for RSF-wheat, PMSF1-wheat and PMSF2-wheat doughs. The results indicated that soy flour weakened wheat flour dough by increasing SH concentration and that l-AA could have a synergistic effect on the reduction of gluten proteins and thus weakening the dough.     

Wet separation of wheat flours into starch and gluten fractions: the combined effects of water to flour ratio–dough maturation time and the effects of flour aging and ascorbic acid addition

The process of making a dough, allowing time for maturation, dispersing the dough in water and wet sieving/washing to obtain a protein fraction and starch milk was studied using response surface methodology by changing the water to flour ratio in dough making (400–710 g kg^?1), maturation time (45–660 s) and the type of flour. Two grades of bread wheat flour and durum clear flour were studied. The effects of aging at ambient temperature for up to 29 days and the addition of ascorbic acid at 100 or 500 mg kg^?1 flour on separation behaviour were also studied for freshly milled high‐grade (65% extraction) bread wheat flours at constant maturation time, 600 s, and at optimum farinograph water absorption value. The quantities and dry matter contents of the protein fraction and starch milk were measured; a sample of starch milk was centrifuged to obtain decantate, tailings and prime starch fractions, and the dry matter contents of each were determined. All the dried samples were also analysed for protein content. The fractional recoveries of dry matter and protein in the protein fraction, prime starch, tailings and decantate were calculated for each experiment. The acid values of flour oils were also determined on some aged flour samples. The results indicated superior separation characteristics in high‐grade wheat flour compared with lower‐grade flours. The water to flour ratio was more influential than maturation time within the range studied. Contrary to the initial expectation, no statistically significant effect of flour aging was observed in the studies with no additive, and ascorbic acid addition was not found to improve the wet separation behaviour, the separation behaviour becoming even worse at the 100 mg kg^?1 level. Acid value showed a slight increase with time. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry

Small and large deformation rheology for hard wheat flour dough as influenced by mixing and resting

ABSTRACT:  The effects of mixing and resting on the physicochemical properties of doughs prepared with strong and weak hard wheat flours were investigated, specifically concerning aspects related to their rheological behavior and molecular mobility. Small deformation dynamic tests showed that, during the initial resting period, the complex modulus G * decreased and phase angle decreased for undermixed dough, whereas overmixed dough showed opposite trends. G * values for optimally mixed dough did not vary during the resting period investigated. This was more obvious for the strong dough. Large deformation tests more clearly showed differences among optimal, under-, and overmixed dough, and also between doughs prepared with strong and weak flour. Optimally mixed dough exhibited the highest peak stress and strain for both samples. In addition, the peak stress of dough prepared with the strong flour was higher than that of dough prepared with weak flour. Inconsistent results between small and large deformation tests implied that small and large deformation tests reflected different structural aspects of dough. NMR measurements were performed to estimate the relaxation properties of the sample upon resting. Decreased water mobility during resting, indicated by decreasing T ₁ relaxation time, was possibly attributed to increasing molecular interactions caused by continued hydration. Evidence of additional molecular interactions created by mixing was also observed.     

Compositional and varietal influence of finger millet flour on rheological properties of dough and quality of biscuit

Biscuits prepared from flour composites containing 60:40 and 70:30 (w/w) finger millet:wheat flour were evaluated for its dough characteristics and biscuit quality. Hardness of biscuit dough measured by textural profile analysis was more in 60:40 combination than in 70:30 level. The dough became more adhesive with higher level of wheat flour and it varied across varieties. Extensograph data also showed that resistance of biscuit dough increased with the increasing levels of wheat flour. However, very little difference was observed between addition of 30 and 40 g/100 g wheat flour in terms of resistance to extension. Wheat composite flour (40 g/100 g) had higher water absorption capacity than in 30 g/100 g composite flour. Bandwidth of composite flour was narrower in 40 g/100 g wheat flour composite. Expansion of biscuit and breaking strength after baking was more in 70:30 composite than in 60:40. Among the varieties used, VL-324 brought about the positive changes of composite flour in rheological characteristics in terms of adhesiveness, extensibility and resistance to extension, which in turn improves biscuit quality. It provided better physical quality biscuit dough and biscuit in terms of its spread ratio, density and breaking strength. Studies indicated that composite of finger millet and wheat flour (60:40) was found better, particularly in case of biscuit quality. Out of six varieties, VL-324 was found best in terms of biscuit quality as well as acceptability.     

Reduction of rutin loss in buckwheat noodles and their physicochemical characterisation

Tartary buckwheat was subjected to hydrothermal treatments for minimising rutin loss in buckwheat-based foods by water addition. When native buckwheat flour was mixed with water for 60 min, the rutin content was distinctly reduced from 3.74 g/100 g to 0.31 g/100 g, increasing the amount of quercetin. However, the rutin content remained constant and quercetin was hardly detected in hydrothermally-treated buckwheat flour. Also, when noodles were prepared with wheat and buckwheat flours (7:3, w/w), the noodle samples containing hydrothermally-treated buckwheat flour, showed higher amounts of rutin (more than 0.83 g/100 g) than the control noodle with native buckwheat flour (0.27 g/100 g). In addition, the use of hydrothermally-treated buckwheat flour gave less pasting parameters and lower viscoelastic properties. The noodle dough with hydrothermally-treated buckwheat flour also had greater water absorption and development time during mixing while the elongation stress of the noodle dough was reduced.     

Physicochemical,rheological, and organoleptic characteristics of wheat‐fenugreek supplemented blends

The effect of blending of fenugreek (raw, soaked, and germinated) flour (Trigonella faenum graecum) from 5 to 20% in wheat flour on the rheological and sensory evaluation of bread, biscuit, noodle, and macroni was studied. Farinograph water absorption, dough development time, mixing tolerance index, and dough stability increased significantly with increased amount of fenugreek flour. Incorporation of fenugreek flour in wheat flour increased the protein and fat contents of blends but decreased the gluten contents. Among the supplemented blends, blends containing germinated fenugreek flour had higher protein contents (13.83–16.30%) up to 20%. Overall acceptability scores of bread, biscuit, noodles, and macroni were found highly acceptable up to 15, 10, and 20% levels, respectively.

Effects of Waxy Wheat Flour and Water on Frozen Dough and Bread Properties

ABSTRACT:  The quality of bread made from frozen dough is diminished by changes that occur during freezing. New cultivars of waxy wheat flour (WWF), containing less than 2% amylose, offer unique properties for the production of baked products. In this study, dough properties and bread quality were investigated at various levels of WWF (0% to 45% flour weight) and water (55% to 65%). Dough stickiness increased with higher levels of WWF and water. During frozen storage, dough with greater WWF and lower water had less change in stickiness. Maximum resistance to extension (MRE) decreased with higher WWF and water. Dough with greater WWF and less water had less change in extensibility after frozen storage. Dough with greater WWF and water was more extensible. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies showed that frozen dough with higher WWF content had lower transverse relaxation ( T ₂) time of 9 to 11ms. After frozen storage, dough with higher WWF still showed lower T ₂. Dough with 15% WWF had higher yeast activity. Bread made from 15% and 30% WWF had higher volume in bread made from unfrozen and frozen dough. Bread firmness decreased with higher amounts of WWF and water. This research demonstrated that specific combinations of WWF and water produced a better quality of frozen dough and bread.

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.     

Rheological and Microstructural Study of Wheat Doughs Partially Replaced with Mesquite Flour (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Prosopis alba</Emphasis>) and Added with Transglutaminase

The incorporation of different flours into wheat bread may pursue different objectives, such as increasing the nutritional quality of the products or the recovery of flour with little use in the industry. The “mesquite flour” (MF) is rich in sugar, fiber, and protein and is an interesting additive to wheat flour in baking. In this study, we used crude and thermally processed bread dough formulations of wheat flour (WF), replacing 15, 25, and 35% with mesquite flour. Furthermore, each formulation was tested for two levels (0.01 and 0.1%) of the enzyme transglutaminase (TG). Dough rheology was studied by small amplitude oscillatory compression tests, and the microstructure was analyzed by laser confocal microscopy using fluorescein isothiocyanate and rhodamine B as fluorophores. It was concluded that the incorporation of mesquite into the dough resulted in changes in the structure, as evidenced by the increase in tan δ, microscopic observations (loss of the filamentary and cross-linked gluten structure), and by the increase in the gelatinization temperature. The addition of TG led to dissimilar effects on doughs, depending on the formulation (wheat/mesquite content), but most encouraging results indicate the recovery of the structure, evidenced by a reduction in tan δ and the generation of a more filamentary structure in the dough with a higher content of mesquite flour. However, the effect of TG addition on “processed dough” was attenuated and the viscoelastic matrix of gluten did not recover.     

小麦粉吸水速率对面团特性及馒头品质的影响

该文以不同吸水速率的小麦粉为基础,研究在相同的揉混条件下,其面团特性及馒头品质的变化。使用粉质仪将面团稠度达到最高时所用的加水量与消耗的时间的比值定义为吸水速率,测定不同吸水速率小麦粉其粉质特性、湿面筋含量、面筋指数、游离巯基与二硫键含量、面团质构特性、馒头比容与高径比、馒头的质构特性。研究结果表明,当小麦粉吸水速率从0.17 g/s增大到3.87 g/s时,面团的稳定时间及粉质质量指数显著下降。其湿面筋含量从38.81%下降到19.19%,二硫键含量从13.31μmol/g下降到9.05μmol/g。面团的质构特性在发酵0 min时呈先升高后降低趋势、在醒发45 min后整体呈下降趋势。馒头的比容从2.67 mL/g降低到2.27 mL/g、高径比从0.68降低到0.56,其硬度、胶着性、咀嚼性均成下降趋势。整体而言,吸水速率低的小麦粉其面团相对较硬且馒头较为筋道有嚼劲;吸水速率较高的小麦粉其面团硬度稍弱且馒头较为松软。     

Separation of bread wheat flours into starch and gluten fractions: effect of water temperature alone or in combination with water to flour ratio

Two different commercial bread wheat flours (BF‐I, 65% extraction and BF‐V, 86% extraction) were separated into gluten and starch milk by making a dough, allowing some time for maturation, dispersing the dough in water and wet sieving/washing. The effect of using of warm water (20–45 °C) for dough making and washing on separation was studied for BF‐I flour at 640 g kg^?1 water to flour ratio of and 300 s maturation time, and the separation was found to improve with increase in temperature. The combined effects of water temperature (20–50 °C) and water to flour ratio (640–780 g kg^?1 for BF‐I and 620–870 g kg^?1 for BF‐V) were studied at 600 s maturation time. The quantities and dry matter contents of the gluten fraction and starch milk were measured; a sample of starch milk was centrifuged to obtain decantate, tailing and prime starch fractions, and the dry matter contents of each were determined. All the dried samples were also analysed for protein content, and the fractional recoveries of dry matter and protein in the gluten fraction, prime starch, tailings and decantate were calculated. The results indicated the optimum point for BF‐I flour to be the combination of optimum farinograph water absorption and 40 °C. BF‐V showed very poor separation behaviour within the ranges studied. At the optimum farinograph water absorption the use of warm water for dough making and 20 °C water for washing steps was also tried, but no significant improvement over the 20 °C results was obtained. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

藜麦粉对冷冻面团特性及其面包品质的影响

将藜麦和小麦粉按一定比例混合,用快速粘度分析法测定混合粉糊化特性,流变仪测定了冻藏过程中小麦-藜麦冷冻面团的流变学特性,核磁共振法测定面团中水分迁移,并测定其发酵体积变化,最后分析了冷冻面团组织状态与产品品质的关系。结果表明：藜麦粉对冷冻面团及面包的品质均有改善。藜麦粉降低了混合粉体系的糊化粘度和崩解值。冻藏后,冷冻面团的弹性模量和粘性模量增加,小麦粉冷冻面团损耗角正切值增加了4.73%,添加量为5%时冷冻面团损耗角正切值仅增加0.41%;小麦冷冻面团自由水上升了3.90%,藜麦添加后仅上升2.40%,可见藜麦粉能冷冻面团降低水分迁移程度;同时,添加藜麦粉能维持面团面筋网络结构的完整性,发酵体积由26.42 mL/h增大到29.17 mL/h。不同添加量的藜麦粉对面团及面包的品质改善程度不同,最适添加量为10%,烘烤后面包比容为3.08 mL/g,硬度为2803.48 g。本研究可为开发藜麦冷冻面团提供理论基础,在藜麦新产品开发方面具有重要的指导意义。
