The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of wheat sourdough product (powder form) on wheat flour dough rheological properties. Wheat sourdough (SD) was obtained from fermented wheat flour which allows bakers to obtain a healthier, nutritious, tastier and better flavor bread without high fermentation phases. The impact of SD (1-4%) on dough rheological properties have been analyzed using Mixolab according to the standard method ICC No. 173 and HAAKE MARS 40 rheometer (Termo-HAAKE, Karlsruhe, Germany) for osc...

Different oleogels were obtained from olive oil (OL), grape seed oil (GO), sunflower oil (SO), walnut oil (WO) and hemp oil (HO) using carnauba wax as a gelling at different concentrations of 5%, 7%, and 9% (w/w). The physical characteristics of the oleogels obtained, such as oil binding capacity (OBC), peroxide index (IP) and color, were determined. From a structural point of view, the oleogels were further investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). It was found that a higher concentration o...

The aim of the study was to characterize the gelling effect of candelilla wax (DW) using different types of cold-pressed vegetable oil (sunflower oil, olive oil, walnut oil, grape seed oil and hemp seed oil). The structuring of the oleogels was achieved by hot incorporation of oil with different percentages of carnauba wax, as follows: 3%, 5% and 11%. Characterization of the oleogels was done by determining the chemical and physical properties of the oleogels, the oil binding capacity and the texture of the oleoge...

Legumes are nutritious ingredients that can be used in bakery industry. However, in order to minimize their antinutrients contents and unpleasant flavor, germination can be applied. The aim of the present paper was to investigate the proximate composition and minerals profiles of composite flours made of refined wheat flour and germinated legumes (beans, lentil, soybean, chickpea and lupine) in different levels. The results showed an increase of protein and ash contents as the addition level was higher, while a re...

Bread is a staple food all over the world and is the main source of sodium in the human diet which may increase the risks of diseases associated with a sodium-rich diet. Potassium chloride (KCl) is known as the most used ingredient for the food industry as sodium chloride replacer, with an intrinsic salty taste at low levels addition. The use of potassium chloride in the bread making process as a sodium chloride replacer may lead to bakery products of a very good quality from the technological point of view. The a...

Acrylamide (AA) is a chemical contaminant that is formed in bakery products during baking in especially for those obtained from flour with a high extraction rate. There are several ways to reduce the level of AA in bakery products, one of them being the use of antioxidants in bread making. The present study aims to analyze the effects antioxidant addition, respectively a rosemary extract one, in various levels (0.02%, 0.1% and 0.5% on wheat flour of a high extraction rate of 1250 type) to obtain bread products, in...

Wheat (Triticum L.) is a cereal which has a unique role in the global economy due to its technological and production value. The aim of this paper was to highlight the variation of the amount of mineral substances from thirty one varieties of wheat grains cultivated in Romania, from various origins such as: Romanian, German, French, Austrian, etc. Twenty-four grains samples were of common wheat (Triticum aestivum), two wheat samples were of Triticum monococcum and five wheat samples were of Triticum spelta. All th...

The aim of this study was to analyze the bread quality prepared from a wheat flour of a 1250 type in which four levels of magnesium ions (0, 100, 150 and 200 mg/100g) from lactate salt were incorporated. In order to determine the bread quality the physical, crumb microstructure, textural, colour and sensory characteristics were analyzed. Bread quality characteristics loaf volume, porosity and elasticity slightly increase with the increase level of magnesium ions addition compared to the control sample. The best br...

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of calcium ions from lactate salt at four levels of 0, 100, 150 and 200 mg/100g addition in wheat flour of a high extraction rate on fundamental dough rheological properties and bread quality. Wheat flour used in this study was of a strong one for bread making having 14.3% moisture content, 1.25% ash content, 14.3% protein content, 1.92% fat content, 35% wet gluten content and 3 mm gluten deformation index. Dough fundamental rheological properties were analyzed using...

The aim of this study was to analyzed the effect of magnesium ions from gluconate and lactate salt at the level of 100, 150 and 200 mg/100g addition on empirical and fundamental dough rheological properties from the wheat flour type 550. Wheat flour is considerate a very good one for bread making having 14.0% moisture content, 0.55% ash, 13.2% protein, 1.4% fat content, 31% wet gluten and 8 mm gluten deformation index. Dough empirical rheological properties were analyzed using the Alveograph and Glutograph device....

Novel trends in the market of fermented dairy products are leading to obtain various products with high functional and nutritive but less energy value. The development of new fermented dairy products could be divided into two groups in order to: 1. obtain products with improved physicochemical characteristics, rheology, texture, microstructure and sensory properties; 2. obtain products with pronounced nutritive characteristics and functionality. Yogurt is a very popular dairy product in most countries, it is consi...

The aim of this paper was to investigate the effect of defatted rapeseed flour addition from which proteins were extracted (DRF) on quality characteristics of bread as a finished product by baking test, rheological and microstructural examination.
