Improving the alpha-amylase activity of wheat flour represents an opportunity to valorize wheat grains of low baking quality. In this sense, germinated legumes can be used to increase enzymatic activity, giving superior final product characteristics at the same time. The aim of this study was to underline the effects of chickpea (CGF) and lupin germinated flours (LGF) added simultaneously to white wheat flour on the rheological behavior of dough and to evaluate an optimal product microstructure. For this purpose, the falling number, dough rheological properties during mixing, 3D-deformation and fermentation, and the visco-elastic behavior were evaluated, the effects of factors (CGF and LGF levels) and their optimization have been studied by applying a full factorial design and response surface methodology (RSM). The LGF sample had a composition of 39.4% protein, 10.3% moisture, 6.9% fat, and 3.4% ash, whereas the CGF presented 21.1 % protein, 9.4% moisture, 5.2% fat, and 3.6% ash. The results showed that CGF and LGF determined the decrease of the falling number, dough water absorption, tolerance to kneading, dough consistency at 250 and 450 s, extensibility, the maximum height of the gas release curve, volume of gas retained by the dough at the end of the test, total volume of CO2 production, visco-elastic moduli, and gelatinization temperatures. On the other hand, dough elasticity and alveograph curve ratio increased proportionally to the increase of CGF and LGF addition levels. The optimal combination considering the rheological properties of dough was found to be 8.57% CGF, 5.31% LGF, and 86.12% wheat flour, with enhanced alpha-amylase activity being obtained compared to the control. These results provide valuable information on the possibility of using germinated legumes such as chickpeas and lupin in breadmaking to enhance wheat flour technological properties (besides traditionally used barley malt flour).

Abstract The effect of magnesium ions from gluconate salt at the level of 100, 150 and 200 mg/100g addition on empirical dough rheological properties from the 550 wheat flour type was studied. Dough rheological properties during mixing (dough development time, dough stability, degree of softening), α amylase activity and gelatinization temperature were analyzed by using a Falling Number and Amylograph. During fermentation were analyzed the maximum height of gaseous production, total CO2 volume production, volume of the gas retained in the dough at the end of the test and the retention coefficient by using a Rheofermentograph device. By magnesium gluconate (Mg) salt addittion dough become more strength by an increase of stability and a decrease of the degree of softening. With Mg addittion wheat flour dough volumes were affected. Compared to the control sample, the dough volume decreased with the increased level of Mg. From the point of view of the α amylase activity, it decreases with the increase level of Mg whereas the gelatinization temperature increases.

Представлены результаты исследования влияния компонентов мучной композитной смеси – муки люпиновой, кукурузной и ячменной на автолитическую активность и углеводно-амилазный комплекс пшеничной муки 1-го сорта. Для определения автолитической активности по числу падения (ЧП) образцов муки с добавками и без них добавки вносили в количестве 5, 15, 25, 35%. Установлено, что при внесении 5% ячменной и кукурузной муки автолитическая активность существенно не меняется, при увеличении количества добавки показатель ЧП муки увеличивается от 3 до 14% и автолитическая активность снижается. Величины показателей газообразующей и водопоглотительной способности мучных композитных смесей возрастают по сравнению с аналогичными показателями контрольного образца – пшеничной мукой 1-го сорта без добавок. Рекомендовано использовать разработанную мучную композитную смесь, содержащую 65% пшеничной муки, 25% люпиновой муки, 5% кукурузной муки, 5% ячменной муки, при производстве пшеничных сортов хлеба для улучшения реологических свойств теста и, следовательно, качества хлеба. Results of investigation of influence of components of flour composite mixtures – lupine, cornmeal and barley flour on autolytic activity and carbohydrate-amylase complex of wheat flour of 1st grade are presented. To determine the autolytic activity by of falling number (FN) flour samples with additives and without them additives were brought in the amount of 5, 15, 25, 35%. It is established that with the introduction of 5% barley flour and cornmeal autolytic activity does not change significantly, with an increase in the number of additives, the index of FN flour increases from 3 to 14% and autolytic activity decreases. Values of indicators of gas-forming and water-absorbing ability of flour composite mixtures increase in comparison with similar indicators of a control sample – wheat flour of 1st grade without additives. It is recommended to use the developed flour composite mixture containing 65% wheat flour, 25% lupine flour, 5% cornmeal, 5% barley flour in the production of wheat breads to improve the rheological properties of the dough and, therefore, the quality of bread.

The hypothesis was tested that slow grain drying stimulates pre-maturity alpha-amylase activity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Grain drying rate in 91 commercial crops of cultivars Avalon or Mercia grown over the years 1988–90 was estimated from the slope of linear regressions of moisture content on time. Incipient sprouting was detected in some samples from 1988 using the fluoroscein dibutyrate test, but results from a beta-limit dextrin gel assay indicated that pre-maturity alpha-amylase was probably the major source of alpha-amylase activity in these samples. Although year-to-year differences in ln alpha-amylase activity and Hagberg falling number tended to be associated with seasonal differences in drying rate, there was no evidence of a relationship between either ln alpha-amylase activity or Hagberg falling number and drying rate after the year effect was removed by an analysis of covariance. A second dataset from one crop in each of 14 years at one site showed significant positive linear relationships between cumulative potential evapotranspiration calculated over different periods during grain ripening and Hagberg falling number (excluding 3 years when incipient sprouting was thought to occur). It was concluded that pre-maturity alpha-amylase activity was stimulated by an unknown environmental factor differing between seasons and associated with seasonal differences in drying rate and cumulative potential evapotranspiration.

Germination is a convenient technique that could be used to enhance the nutritional profile of legumes. Furthermore, consumers’ increasing demand for diversification of bakery products represents an opportunity to use such germinated flours in wheat-based products. Thus, this study aimed to underline the effects of soybean germinated flour (SGF) and lentil germinated flour (LGF) on the rheological behavior of dough during different processing stages and to optimize the addition level. For this purpose, flour falling number, dough properties during mixing, extension, fermentation, and dynamic rheological characteristics were evaluated. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the optimization of SGF and LGF addition levels in wheat flour, optimal and control samples microstructures being also investigated through epifluorescence light microscopy (EFLM). The results revealed that increased SGF and LGF addition levels led to curve configuration ratio, visco-elastic moduli, and maximum gelatinization temperature rises, while the falling number, water absorption, dough extensibility, and baking strength decreased. The interaction between SGF and LGF significantly influenced (p < 0.05) the falling number, dough consistency after 450 s, baking strength, curve configuration ratio, viscous modulus, and maximum gelatinization temperature. The optimal sample was found to contain 5.60% SGF and 3.62% LGF added in wheat flour, with a significantly lower falling number, water absorption, tolerance to kneading, dough consistency, extensibility, and initial gelatinization temperature being observed, while dough tenacity, the maximum height of gaseous production, total CO2 volume production, the volume of the gas retained in the dough at the end of the test, visco-elastic moduli and maximum gelatinization temperatures were higher compared to the control. These results underlined the effects of SGF and LGF on wheat dough rheological properties and could be helpful for novel bakery products development.

The aim of this research was to produce bread from composite flours (fermented cashew kernel/wheat), determine their physicochemical and sensory properties. The Hagberg falling number (FN) and rheological properties of wheat flour replaced with fermented cashew kernel flour at 10, 20 30 and 40% were evaluated. The physical properties and proximate composition of loaves were determined. Also sensory characteristics of breads were evaluated. Results showed that the substitution of wheat flour with fermented cashew kernel flour negatively impacted the rheological properties and increased the falling number. Thereby, composite flours obtained from wheat flour substitution with fermented cashew kernel flour at 10 and 20 percent levels were retained for bread production. The weight, volume and specific volume of loaves varied from 208 to 229 g, 433 to 657 cm3 and 1.80 to 3.20 cm3/g respectively. The crude protein, fat, crude fibre, moisture and ash contents of the composite breads increased significantly (P<0.05) with increase in the proportion of fermented cashew kernel flour. The carbohydrate contents were observed to decrease significantly (P<0.05) from 38.08 to 56.18% with increase in the percentage of the cashew kernel flour incorporation. Sensory evaluation of the bread samples showed that substitution level of 10% fermented cashew kernel flour produced bread that was acceptable to the consumers whereas at 20% were neither like nor dislike. Therefore, it is recommended to use a level of substitution of wheat flour with fermented cashew kernel flour not exceeding 20% for bread production.

The effect of ascorbic acid on the rheological properties of wheat fermented dough from forty three wheat flour samples, represented&nbsp; two groups of flours, characterised (according to the ash content, protein content and Zeleny sedimentation value) the main Czech flour&nbsp;type has been studied. Standard analytical parameters (ash and protein contents, wet gluten, falling number, Zeleny sedimentation value), rheological investigation (maturograph, oven rise recorder), and laboratory baking test were used for the characterisation of flours and doughs. It was stated that the influence of the ascorbic acid addition on the fermented dough behaviour depends on the flour composition particularly in the proofing stage. Oven rise characteristics of dough and specific bread volume revealed smaller changes without significant differences between flours with lower (up to 0.6%) and higher (up to 0.7%) ash contents. An important correlation (r = 0.51&ndash;0.68) significant at 0.01 level has been found between specific bread volume and final rise of dough. &nbsp;

AbstractThe production of economically important cereals is accompanied by the phenomenon of sprouting which in naked cultivars may limit their reproduction and usability. The objective of the work is to evaluate the susceptibility to sprouting in naked oat cultivars, and to test the usefulness of sprouting indices. In the years 2008–2010 for seeds of 8 cultivars, differing in the degree of sprouting damage, the coefficient of sprouting (Cs) was determined. Germinability (GF), dynamics (GD) and average germination time (GAT) were determined for seeds germinating in the presence of abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellic acid (GA3) and under control conditions. Basing on the falling number (FN) in consecutive days of the sprouting induction, alpha-amylase activity was determined. The highest values of Cs were found in 2008, the year with the highest total rainfall and temperature. In the presence of ABA the GF decreased by 21%, the GAT was 4.7 days longer, and the GD decreased by 55% compared with other substrates. An increase in alpha-amylase activity contributed to a 50%, on average, decrease in FN at 10°C and 30°C after 48 and 24 h of incubation, respectively. In the analyzed years the greatest resistance to sprouting was found for Bullion seeds.
