Literature Review – Chapter One Instrumental and Sensory Characteristics of a Baked Product Containing Barley Flour with Varying Amounts of Beta-Glucan and Sugar Substitute by Niti Lathia A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Program in Food Science written under the direction of Dr. Henryk Daun Dr. Paul Takhistov and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Instrumental and Sensory Characteristics of Baked Product Containing Barley Flour with Varying Amounts of Beta-Glucan and Sugar Substitute By Niti Lathia Thesis Directors: Dr. Henryk Daun Dr. Paul Takhistov The objective of this study was to determine the influence of varying levels of beta-glucan in barley flour on selected properties of a model baked product. Another aim was to reduce sugar levels in the product by incorporating a natural sweetener stevia and to monitor its influence using instrumental and sensory analysis. Batter rheology was studied using a lubricated squeezing flow technique, pasting profiles of the barley flours were determined with a rheometer, viscoelastic properties were evaluated using dynamic oscillatory rheology to measure G’ and G”, and firmness of the baked products was monitored using a texture analyzer, for changes occurring due to varying β-glucan levels in barley flour and removal of sugar. L a* b* color values of barley flour and muffins were obtained using a colorimeter. A descriptive sensory panel was trained to observe changes in product attributes when stevia was used to replace sugar in the high beta- glucan product. Water absorption index was found to be significantly higher for high β-glucan barley flour. The color of both barley flours also had a significant difference in L* (lightness) and b* (yellowness) values. Similarly, muffin samples prepared without sugar, using stevia, were significantly lighter in surface color (higher L*), while the ii interior colors were darker (higher b*). Low beta-glucan dough showed a lower biaxial extensional viscosity compared to the high beta-glucan dough, which indicates that the level of beta-glucan present in the barley flour has an impact on the dough viscosity. The pasting profiles of the flours were also found to be significantly different, where the high beta-glucan barley flour resulted in a significantly higher peak viscosity but lower peak time compared to low β-glucan barley flour. Muffin firmness was found to be significantly higher when sugar was omitted from the formulation, but there was no significant difference in firmness among the two beta-glucan levels in the muffins. The sensory descriptive panel found significantly higher firmness, surface roughness, and bitterness attributes for the high β-glucan muffins prepared with stevia. Additional efforts will be needed to mask the undesirable attributes in the model baked product occurring due to the removal of sugar. iii Acknowledgement First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude towards both of my thesis advisors, Dr. Henryk Daun, who brought the project to my attention, and equally to Dr. Paul Takhistov whose lab I conducted my research in.

  • A Systematic Review of Gluten-Free Dough and Bread: Dough Rheology, Bread Characteristics, and Improvement Strategies
    applied sciences Review A Systematic Review of Gluten-Free Dough and Bread: Dough Rheology, Bread Characteristics, and Improvement Strategies Alessio Cappelli * , Noemi Oliva and Enrico Cini Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI), University of Florence, Piazzale delle Cascine 16, 50144 Florence, Italy; [email protected]fi.it (N.O.); enrico.cini@unifi.it (E.C.) * Correspondence: alessio.cappelli@unifi.it Received: 8 September 2020; Accepted: 16 September 2020; Published: 20 September 2020 Abstract: High-quality, gluten-free doughs and bakery products are clearly more difficult to produce than wheat flour-based products. The poor quality of the breads that are currently available demonstrates that manufacturing remains a significant technological problem. This is mainly due to the absence of gluten, which has a huge negative impact on dough rheology and bread characteristics. Gluten replacement is still the major challenge in the development of doughs and baked goods. The literature documents various improvement strategies. The most active approach seeks to identify alternative ingredients that can mimic the viscoelastic properties of the gluten network, notably hydrocolloids, enzymes, emulsifiers, and alternative sources of protein. However, other innovative strategies, such as high pressure, using heat to dry flour, and sourdough fermentation, have been investigated. In this context, the first aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge regarding gluten-free doughs, breads, and bakery products. Secondly, as it is clear that the manufacture of gluten-free products remains a key challenge, it suggests some improvement strategies that can boost their nutritional, technological, and sensorial characteristics. Keywords: gluten-free; advances in gluten-free; gluten-free batters; innovative gluten-free products; gluten-free breadmaking; celiac disease 1.

They are available in wide varieties and their preferences may vary according to the regional demands. Easy access of global information and exposure of various bakery products has increased the demand for bakery ingredients. Baking ingredients offer several advantages such as reduced costs, volume enhancement, better texture, colour, and flavour enhancement. For example, ingredients such enzymes improve protein solubility and reduce bitterness in end products, making enzymes one of the most preferred ingredients in the baking industry. Every ingredient in a recipe has a specific purpose. It's also important to know how to mix or combine the ingredients properly, which is why baking is sometimes referred to as a science. There are reactions in baking that are critical to a recipe turning out correctly. Even some small amount of variation can dramatically change the result. Whether its breads or cake, each ingredient plays a part.

  • Effect of Wheat Bran on Gluten Network Formation As Studied Through Dough Development, Dough Rheology and Bread Microstructure
    Effect of wheat bran on gluten network formation as studied through dough development, dough rheology and bread microstructure by Hyma Gajula B.Tech., Osmania University, India, 2003 M.S., Kansas State University, 2007 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Grain Science and Industry College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Abstract The overall hypothesis underlying this study is that the nature and extent of bran interactions with the gluten protein matrix play a dominant role in both 'in-process' dough and final product quality of whole grain baked goods. Therefore, the purposeful manipulation of those interactions should be able to minimize adverse processing or product characteristics resulting from bran inclusion/presence. The approach we took was to study the effects of bran milled to different particle sizes on dough development during and after dough mixing using fundamental rheology combined with traditional cereal chemistry approaches and x-ray microtomography (XMT). The research outcomes were used to create a better picture of how the bran is effecting the dough development and to suggest strategies that allow for the control of that effect. Study-I focused on characterization of the chemical properties, empirical rheological properties and baking performance of flours and dough with different bran contents from different sources. The development of dough microstructure and the resulting crumb texture in the presence of different bran were studied using XMT. HRW and SW bran additions resulted in higher water absorptions (WA) irrespective of the flour type and bran source.

  • Flour Science & End Use Testing Wheat Kernel
    Joe Trummer- Research and Development Director December 6, 2018 A study of wheat flour for use in the tortilla industry Wheat Flour and it’s role in Tortillas Since wheat flour is typically the largest component of tortillas (50%+ formula weight), the study of wheat is a worthwhile topic to explore. Wheat is the number 1 cereal crop in the world in terms of acres planted, but more corn is produced, and rice leads in human consumption. Wheat production in the US is third behind corn and soybeans. Despite it’s third place ranking, approximately 20% of daily calories consumed come from wheat and other cereal products. Wheats early ancestors were among the first plants cultivated by humans. Wheat’s Uniqueness Wheat is a member of the grass family and grows relatively easily in soil and climatic conditions that exist over wide temperature regions of the earth. It’s high yielding and easy to cultivate. With modern milling, extraction is nearly 100%. Whole Wheat contains antioxidant amounts at or near those of other fruits and vegetables. 2017/2018 USDA data for millions of acres of planted: Corn 89.1 million acres Soybean 89.6 million acres Wheat 47.8 million acres Source: USDA ERS Data Global Wheat Producers 2017/2018 USDA ERS Data 160 US <10% of Global Market 140 50% of US Wheat exported 120 100 80 60 Million Tons Metric Million 40 20 0 US Wheat EU Wheat China India Wheat Russia Canada Ukraine Australia Argentina Kazakhstan Wheat Wheat Wheat Wheat Wheat Wheat Wheat Wheat Consumption and Production Trends Wheat consumption in the US has been declining in the US since the late 90’s.

Farinograph responses revealed the significant role of dough 30 consistency (α<0.001) and mixing temperature (α<0.001) on wheat bread dough elasticity. Fermentation responses obtained from the rheofermentometer showed that dough 32 consistency induces a significant positive linear effect on dough development, whereas gas development was mainly governed by the fermentation temperature. Wheat bread dough 34 behaviour subjected to a dual mechanical shear stress and temperature constraint showed that dough consistency had a significant linear and positive effect on the starch gelatinization 36 and gelling process. Therefore, breadmaking is highly governed for the dough consistency, namely dough hydration, which has a direct consequence on the mixing, fermenting, cooking 38 and cooling performance of the wheat bread dough.

Biotechnologies, Vol. XXIV, No. 1, 2020 ISSN 2285-1364, CD-ROM ISSN 2285-5521, ISSN Online 2285-1372, ISSN-L 2285-1364 EFFECT OF DRY SOURDOUGH ADDITION IN WHEAT FLOUR ON DOUGH RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES Andreea VOINEA “Ștefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, Faculty of Food Engineering, 13 Universităţii Street, 720229, Suceava, Romania Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract The aim of this work was to characterise the rheological changes of wheat doughs with dry sourdough addition on mixing and pasting characteristics. Nowadays, it is well known that there is an increased demand for bakery products, obtained from natural ingredients, with good sensory characteristics. The use of sourdough in wheat flour improves bread sensory characteristics of bakery products which may present a better taste and flavour and longer shelf-life. Our study meets the demands of bakery consumers which desire products close, if it is possible to the traditional ones, by using the sourdough in the bread recipe. The advantage of this process is that the sourdough is directly introduced in the bread recipe fact that now in the "century of speed" facilities the bakery process. In order to know the way in which sourdough may change the bakery technological behaviour it is important to study dough rheological characteristics. For this purpose our study analyzes by using modern devices such as Farinograph, Extensograph and Amylograph the way in which sourdough addition changes dough rheological characteristics. Key words:

  • Enhancement of the Folate Content in Egyptian Pita Bread Mohammed Hefni1,2 and Cornelia M
    æVitamin Supplement Enhancement of the folate content in Egyptian pita bread Mohammed Hefni1,2 and Cornelia M. Wittho¨ft1* 1Department of Food Science, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden; 2Department of Food Industries, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt Abstract Introduction: Egypt has a high incidence of neural tube defects related to folate deficiency. One major food source for folate is pita (baladi) bread, which is consumed daily. Bioprocessing (e.g. germination) has been reported to increase the folate content in cereals. The aim was to produce pita bread with increased folate content using germinated wheat flour (GWF). Methods: Prior to milling the effects of germination and drying conditions on folate content in wheat grains were studied. Pita bread was baked from wheat flour substituted with different levels of GWF. The folate content in dough and bread and rheological properties of dough were determined. Results: Germination of wheat grains resulted in, depending on temperature, 3- to 4-fold higher folate content with a maximum of 61 mg/100 g DM (dry matter). The folate content in both flour and bread increased 1.5 to 4-fold depending on the level of flour replacement with GWF. Pita bread baked with 50% sieved GWF was acceptable with respect to colour and layer separation, and had a folate content of 50 mg/100 g DM compared with 30 mg/100 g DM in conventional pita bread (0% GWF). Conclusion: Using 50% GWF, pita bread with increased folate content, acceptable for the Egyptian consumer, was produced. Consumption of this bread would increase the average daily folate intake by 75 mg.
