Oat fi bre powder with particle sizes of 75 μm (OFP1) and 150 μm (OFP2) was used, substituting 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 % of the fl our. The physical properties of the dough and the fi nal bakery products were then measured. Results indicated that dough with added fi bre had higher elasticity than the control group. The storage modulus values of dough with OFP1 most closely approximated those of the control group. The addition of OFP1 did not aff ect signifi cantly the colour compared to the other samples. In- creasing the proportion of oat fi bre powder resulted in increased fi rmness, which was most prominent in wheat bread rolls with oat fi bre powder of smaller particle sizes. The addition of oat fi bre powder with smaller particles resulted in a product with the rheologi- cal and colour parameters that more closely resembled control sample.

Dietary factors such as high salt intake constitute the main risk factors. Bread is considered as one of the most important sources of dietary salt. The objectives of this study were to determine the sodium content of the main types of bread that are marketed in Amman, and to evaluate the bakers’ adherence to the Jordanian specifications. Sixty eight bread samples of seven types of bread were collected from 13 different bakeries distributed in Amman. Bread samples were dried, ashed and the sodium content was directly determined by using flame photometry method. The average salt content of the analyzed bread samples was 1.19±0.21 g salt/100 g of fresh bread, ranging between 0.42 g/100 g for white Arabic bread and 2.06±0.19 for shrak bread.

It was shown that values of several mechanical properties of rice waffles, including ultimate fracture force, strain and stress differed significantly from that of crackerbread. Texture profile analysis showed that the highest hardness and springiness was exhibited by rice waffles with sesame seeds and wheat-rye, respectively. The concentration of salt was the lowest in rice bread with sunflower. The most acceptable was the rice bread with sea salt (8.26 in a 9-point scale) and overall consumer acceptance of crispbreads was highly correlated with sensory attribute of saltiness.

  • Strategies for Reducing Sodium Intake in Bakery Products, a Review
    applied sciences Review Strategies for Reducing Sodium Intake in Bakery Products, a Review Georgiana Gabriela Codină * , Andreea Voinea and Adriana Dabija Faculty of Food Engineering, Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, 720229 Suceava, Romania; andreea.musu@fia.usv.ro (A.V.); adriana.dabija@fia.usv.ro (A.D.) * Correspondence: codina@fia.usv.ro or [email protected]; Tel.: +40-745-460-727 Abstract: Nowadays, the dietary sodium chloride intake is higher than the daily recommended levels, especially due to its prominent presence in food products. This may cause an increase of high blood pressure leading to cardiovascular diseases. Cereal products, and in particular bread, are the main source of salt in human diet. However, salt is a critical ingredient in bread making, and its reduction can have a negative impact on bread quality. This review focuses on physiological role of sodium chloride, its effect on the human body and legislative recommendations on its consumption. Moreover, it presents sodium chloride effects on the bread making from the technological and sensory point of view and presents different options for salt reduction in foods focusing on bakery products. It may be concluded that salt reduction in bread making while maintaining dough rheological properties, yeast fermentation rate, bread quality through its loaf volume, color, textural properties, sensory characteristics is difficult to be achieved due to sodium chloride’s multifunctional role in the bread-making process. Several strategies have been discussed, focusing on sodium chloride replacement with other type of salts, dry sourdough and flavor enhancers. Keywords: salt reduction; legislative recommendations; bread making; salt replacement; bread quality Citation: Codin˘a,G.G.; Voinea, A.; Dabija, A.

  • Bread Volume and Alkylresorcinol Content in Rye Bread Baked with High and Low Levels of Alkylresorcinols
    Bread volume and Alkylresorcinol content in rye bread baked with high and low levels of Alkylresorcinols Sofie Hedkvist Examensarbete Institutionen för Livsmedelsvetenskap Publikation nr 261 Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Uppsala 2009 Department of Food Science Bread volume and Alkylresorcinol content in rye bread baked with high and low levels of Alkylresorcinols Sofie Hedkvist Supervisor: Annica Andersson Examiner: Per Åman Institutionen för Livsmedelsvetenskap Publikation nr 261 Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Uppsala 2009 Department of Food Science Abstract Alkylresorcinols (AR) are phenolic lipids mostly found in the bran part of rye and wheat. The five main homologues differ in the length of the odd numbered alkyl chain, from 17 to 25 carbons long. Studies have shown that AR are bioactive and can be measured in blood or urine (Ross, 2004b) and the exclusive presence of AR in rye and wheat bran makes the AR to a possible biomarker for whole grain intake. The usage of a biomarker can objectively connect intake of wholegrain products and might relate intake to western diseases. The intake of whole grain bread in Europe is low and one reason for this could be the more compact structure of high fibre breads. Studies have shown that AR could possibly reduce the leavening volume, resulting in even more compact bread (Söderman, 2008). The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of AR on the leavening properties of high fiber breads. The breads were baked with wheat flour and 30 or 20% non-extracted non- milled or finely milled rye bran and compared to breads baked with extracted rye bran (without AR), added in the same amounts to the flour.

  • Bread-Initiative.Eu PRESS RELEASE
    Bread-Initiative.eu PRESS RELEASE Brussels, date of publication 2016 EU Bread consumption has an essential role in a healthy and balanced diet across European consumers A healthy and balanced diet is the foundation of good health. Bread finds its way to be an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. Over recent years, we observe a decline in the consumption of bread in Europe and it is mainly due to changes in our eating and living habits. On this context the BREAD-INITIATIVE.EU has been established. This informal coalition represents flour millers, craft and industrial bakers, bakery ingredients companies and yeast manufacturers. The main aim of the bread-initiative is to improve the image of bread in their uniting diversity. It is willing to make clear to consumers the health value, the cultural heritage and the economic importance of the bread sector. The BREAD-INITIATIVE.EU commissioned GIRA Consultancy & Research to carry out a deep and comprehensive study on bread consumption across Europe. Highlights of the study, which will be presented to the European Parliament and other European Institutions, include: Bread consumption per capita dropped from 67 kg (2004) to 63 kg today; The drop of bread consumption did not affect all technologies equally as well as across EU countries; Fresh bread consumption in particular dropped from 51 kg (2004) to 46 kg today; National Health Authorities recommend the consumption of bread, although consumption figures remain under their recommendation level; Younger consumers eat less bread, but more out of home; Men usually eat more bread than women, but women eat a wider variety of bread; An increase of searching for regional and local bread products.

In this doughy world wide web of sourdough, one thread leads to Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Commonly associated with the gold rush era, sourdough is known both as a pioneer food and as a title for a long-time resident. Less well known is the live culture of microbes, yeasts and bacteria that were responsible for creating the ferment for nutritious bread, pancakes, and biscuits on the trail. Through the lens of sourdough, this study investigates the intersection of microbes and human culture: how microbes contribute taste and texture to baked goods; why sourdough, made from imported ingredients, became a traditional food in the North; and how “Sourdough” grew to signify an experienced northerner. A review of research about sourdough microflora, coupled with excerpts from archival sources, illuminates how human and microbial cultures intertwined to make sourdough an everyday food in isolated communities and mining camps.

The opposition between local and global food systems is being questioned together with the actual sustainability performance of food chains. The assessment of the sustainability of food chains is challenged by the multiple dimensions to be considered, the diversity of actors involved, and the lack of a shared methodology. This paper presents a preliminary result of the EU research project Glamur (Global and Local Food Assessment: a multidimensional performance based approach) and develops a comparative assessment among three wheat-to-bread chains in Italy in relation to their degree of localness and different dimensions of sustainability.

Europe and Asia have long and huge traditions in the manufacturing of lactic acid bacteria (LAB)-fermented foods. They have different cultures, religions and ethnicities with the available resources that strongly influence their food habits. Many differences and similarities exist with respect to raw substrates, products and microbes involved in the manufacture of fermented products. Many of them are produced on industrial scale with starter cultures, while others rely on spontaneous fermentation, produced homemade or in traditional events. In Europe, common LAB-fermented products made from cereals include traditional breads, leavened sweet doughs, and low and non-alcoholic cereal-based beverages, whereas among vegetable ones prevail sauerkraut, cucumber pickles and olives. In Asia, the prevailing LAB-fermented cereals include acid-leavened steamed breads or pancakes from rice and wheat, whereas LAB-fermented vegetables are more multifarious, such as kimchi, sinki, khalpi, dakguadong, jiang-gua, soidon and sauerkraut. Here, an overview of the main Euro-Asiatic LAB-fermented cereals and vegetables was proposed, underlining the relevance of fermentation as a tool for improving cereals and vegetables, and highlighting some differences and similarities among the Euro-Asiatic products.
