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.
