At the present celiac disease has no known cure, and its only treatment is a strict lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet. Cheese bread is a traditional Brazilian product and a safe option for celiacs. However, like other gluten-free breads, it has inherent low levels of fibers and minerals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of incorporation of whole amaranth flour on the physical properties and nutritional value of cheese bread. Amaranth flour was incorporated at 10, 15, and 20% proportions in different formulations. The increasing amaranth levels darkened the product, reduced specific volume, and increased compression force. Ten percent amaranth-content cheese breads exhibited slight differences in physical properties compared with the controls. These results demonstrated the possibility of incorporating 10% of whole amaranth flour in the formulation of cheese bread resulting in a product with higher dietary fiber and iron contents and the same level of acceptance as that of the conventional formulation. The aim of this approach is to increase the availability of gluten-free bakery products with added nutritional value contributing to increase the variety of the diet of celiac patients.

Исследована возможность использования полуобезжиренной льняной муки (ПЛМ) для улучшения качества и повышения пищевой ценности безглютеновых хлебобулочных изделий. В процессе исследования выпекали хлеб из рисовой муки с добавлением 4, 6, 9 и 11% ПЛМ. Контролем служил хлеб без добавления льняной муки. После выпечки определяли физико-химические показатели качества образцов рисового хлеба с ПЛМ. Установлено, что с увеличением содержания ПЛМ влажность в образцах хлеба снизилась на 0,4–5,7%; кислотность мякиша увеличилась на 57–185,7%. Удельный объем и пористость опытных образцов хлеба с добавлением ПЛМ в количествах 4 и 6% увеличились по сравнению с контролем на 9,1–13,6% и 3,21–8,1% соответственно, однако при увеличении дозировки льняной муки свыше 6% эти показатели снизились на 4,5–14,1% и 1,6–6,5% соответственно. Количество клетчатки при добавлении 6% ПЛМ увеличилось до 1,8%; белка – до 2,9%. Энергетическая ценность хлеба из смеси рисовой муки и ПЛМ осталась на уровне энергетической ценности хлеба из рисовой муки. Рекомендовано применение ПЛМ при производстве безглютенового хлеба из рисовой муки. Определена дозировка ПЛМ – 6% в смеси с рисовой мукой. The possibility of using semi-fat-free linen flour (SFF LF) to improve the quality and nutritional value of gluten-free bakery products has been studied. During the study, bread was baked from rice flour with the addition of 4, 6, 9 and 11% SFF LF. The control served the bread without adding linen flour. After baking, the physicochemical parameters of the quality of rice bread samples with SFF LF were determined. It is established that with increase in the content of SFF LF moisture content in samples of bread was down 0,4 to 5,7%; the acidity of the crumb increased by 57–185,7%. The specific volume and porosity of bread samples with the addition of SFF LF in quantities of 4 and 6% increased compared to the control by 9,1–13,6% and 3,21–8,1%, respectively, but with an increase in the dosage of linen flour over 6%, these indicators decreased by 4,5–14,1% and 1,6–6,5%, respectively. The amount of fibre with the addition of 6% of SFF LF increased to 1,8%; protein – to 2,9%. The energy value of bread from a mixture of rice flour and SFF LF remained at the level of energy value of bread from rice flour. The use of SFF LF in the production of gluten-free bread from rice flour is recommended. The dosage of SFF LF – 6% in a mixture with rice flour was determined.

Celiac Disease is the most common food-sensitive entoropathy in humans that is triggered by the consumption of wheat gluten as well as related with protein in barley, rye and oat. The only treatment ever known for celiac disease is gluten-free diet. Most gluten-free food product on the market is rich in starch but poor in terms of other nutrients, functional and health benefitial ingredients. Green (unripe) banana is a good source of resistant starch, non-starch polysaccharides including dietary fiber, antioxidants, poliphenols, essential minerals such as potassium, various vitamins e.g. provitamin A, carotenoid, B1, B2, C which are important for human health. In this research, it is aimed to develop nutritious and functional gluten free cake formulations by substituting green banana peel flour (GBPF) with rice flour (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) and to investigate physical properties of GBPF substituted cakes. Cake volume, specific volume, density, baking loss and height of the cakes were in the range of 831.44 – 1034.11 cm3, 1.91-2.41 cm3/g, 0.41-0.52 g/cm3, 16.38-18.14% and 4.36-5.77 cm respectively. As a result, GBPF substituted gluten free cakes were successfully produced. Physical analyses of gluten free cakes showed that 5% and 10% GBPF substitution did not affect gluten free cake volume, specific volume, density and baking loss negatively. 5% and 10% GBPF substituted cakes were not different from control cake statistically (p>0.05). However, substitution levels of 15% and 20% resulted in poorer physical properties. Sensory analysis (data not shown) indicated that all GBPF substitution levels were acceptable, as determined by hedonic scala tests. By developing a nutritious gluten free cake alternative, it is expected to provide an alternative in the dietary diversity of individuals with celiac disease.

Amaranth-oat composites were developed using gluten free amaranth flour containing essential amino acids and minerals with oat products containing β-glucan, known for lowering blood cholesterol. Amaranth flour and oat bran concentrate (OBC) composites (1:4) were processed using different technologies, including dry mixing, baking, steaming, cold wet blending, and high speed homogenizing (Polytron PT6000) with cold water or hot water. The results showed that water holding capacities, pasting, and rheological properties were dramatically increased by wet blending, Polytron with cold water, and Polytron with hot water followed by drum drying. The processing procedures created dissimilar physical properties that will enhance the application of ancient grains and oat for functional foods that are suitable for people who are gluten-intolerant. In addition, the dietary fiber contents of composites were increased by the incorporation of OBC. The composites can be inexpensively prepared and processed. The new healthful products will be affordable for people who suffer from celiac disease or gluten-intolerant. These innovative gluten-free functional food products will help millions of gluten sensitive consumers enjoy heart-healthy functional foods.

Hydrocolloids are important ingredients controlling the quality characteristics of the final bakery products. Hydrocolloids are frequently used in gluten-free (GF) recipes, mimicking some rheological properties of gluten, improving dough properties, delaying starch retrogradation and improving bread texture, appearance and stability. Hydrocolloids addition increases viscosity and incorporation of air into the GF dough/batter. Besides their advantages for the technological properties of the GF bread, hydrocolloids addition may impact the glycemic index (GI) of the final product, thus answering the demand of people requiring products with low GI. This review deals with the application of hydrocolloids in GF bread and pasta with a focus on their effect on dough rheology, bread hardness, specific volume, staling and GI.

Notwithstanding a growth in popularity and consumption of gluten-free (GF) food products, there is a lack of substantiated analysis of the nutritional quality compared with their gluten-containing counterparts. To put GF foods into proper perspective both for those who need it (patients with celiac disease) and for those who do not, we provide contemporary data about cost and nutritional quality of GF food products. The objective of this study is to develop a food composition database for seven discretionary food categories of packaged GF products. Nutrient composition, nutritional information and cost of foods from 63 GF and 126 gluten-containing counterparts were systematically obtained from 12 different Austrian supermarkets. The nutrition composition (macro and micronutrients) was analyzed by using two nutrient composition databases in a stepwise approximation process. A total of 63 packaged GF foods were included in the analysis representing a broad spectrum of different GF categories (flour/bake mix, bread and bakery products, pasta and cereal-based food, cereals, cookies and cakes, snacks and convenience food). Our results show that the protein content of GF products is >2 fold lower across 57% of all food categories. In 65% of all GF foods, low sodium content was observed (defined as <120 mg/100 g). Across all GF products, 19% can be classified as source high in fiber (defined as >6g/100 g). On average, GF foods were substantially higher in cost, ranging from +205% (cereals) to +267% (bread and bakery products) compared to similar gluten-containing products. In conclusion, our results indicate that for GF foods no predominant health benefits are indicated; in fact, some critical nutrients must be considered when being on a GF diet. For individuals with celiac disease, the GF database provides a helpful tool to identify the food composition of their medical diet. For healthy consumers, replacing gluten-containing products with GF foods is aligned with substantial cost differences but GF foods do not provide additional health benefits from a nutritional perspective.

The importance of a gluten-free diet (GFD) in the treatment of celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders is undisputable. However, strict GFD often lead to nutritional imbalances and, therefore, to deficiencies. One of the most common deficiencies from a GFD are an insufficient amount of Ca, Fe, Mg, and Zn. This is mainly because the most of popular gluten-free (GF) raw materials are poor in minerals. Although the popularity of GFD is constantly growing, the data on minerals in GF products are still limited. More importantly, an access to the data is even more restricted. Therefore, the paper reviews the Ca, Fe, Mg, and Zn contents in hundreds of grain GF products available worldwide. The data for 444 products from categories of flours, mixes for cooking, bakery products, cereals, groats, rice, and pasta are obtained from research papers and nutritional databases. The calculation of the realization of mineral requirements from a portion of each product with its graphical classification as rich/average/poor source of each mineral is given. The review is a handbook of minerals for people on a GFD, dietitians, and food producers.

Abstract The diversity and nutritional value of the gluten-free products is challenging because of the increasing segment of population with celiac disease. In order to address this issue, the effects of different proteins (powdered eggs, soy, lupin, sodium caseinate and whey) to the gluten-free formulation based on rice and maize flours were assessed. The dough hydration was varied from 55 to 105 %, and dough rheological properties and bread characteristics were tested. The nature of the proteins and water level added to the gluten-free bread recipes has a decisive role on product quality. The best results in terms of rheological behavior were recorded for samples with powdered eggs, soy and lupin protein addition, at water absorption of 95–105 %. Concerning the bread quality, our results showed that protein addition to the rice and maize flours gluten-free formulations allows the improvement of crumb texture.
