In this work, the effect of wheat flour and water replacement by pequi pulp and flour on the bread development and preparation enriched with this fruit was studied. Two experimental designs were used for two independent variables, the first evaluating the wheat flour partial replacement by pequi husk flour (x1) and pequi pulp flour (x2). The second design evaluated the wheat flour and water partial replacement by pequi husk flour (x1) and pequi pulp (x2), respectively. At the same time, a control test was conducted (without the addition of pequi flour and pulp) for comparison. The evaluated dependent variables of the bread quality characteristics were: dough volume; expansion rate; specific volume and density; texture profile and gluten content. It was possible to verify that only the gluten content was influenced by the replacement of wheat flour by pequi husk flour, whereas, only the specific volume was influenced by the replacement of water by pequi pulp. In general, the best replacement range was obtained with the formulation using between 0.75 to 2.5% pequi husk flour; up to 20% pequi pulp flour and between 5 and 35% of pequi pulp.

The aim of this work was the evaluation of the breadmaking potential of spelt flour when combined with wheat flour in various proportions, both in freshly baked and frozen form, and determine the optimal ratio for products with satisfactory quality characteristics. Freshly baked samples were prepared using different spelt–wheat flour mixtures ranging from 0 to 100% spelt at 10% intervals, while batches containing 0, 30, 50, 80, and 100% spelt were prepared in the case of frozen dough samples. The characteristics of the final baked products (dough volume expansion, specific volume, crust and crumb color, hardness, and water activity) were evaluated. Results showed that spelt flour proportions up to 20% provide bread with quality and sensory characteristics similar to wheat, while proportions higher than 70% lead to products with inferior properties. Therefore, samples with spelt content between 30 and 60%, although slightly degraded, remained highly acceptable.

Bread characteristics are dependent upon the chemical composition and fiber content of the wheat flour used. A healthy diet can help prevent chronic diseases, where whole grains and fewer calories from fat are components of a healthy diet. The aims of this study were to determine the centesimal composition of wheat flour samples (whole, refined, and flour blends) along with their farinographic parameters (water absorption, development time and stability) and also to verify the specific volume, crumb texture profile and digital imaging of bread loaves made with 60% whole wheat flour and 3% fat or fat replacer. Increasing the whole wheat flour percentage in the blends also increased levels of protein, ash and insoluble fiber. All the farinographic parameters were also increased. Enzymatically modified starch was found to be an effective fat replacer in whole wheat loaves. The loaves made using fat replacer had the same specific volume and higher cell density as those made with fat, but exhibited different texture profile parameters such as higher hardness value and lower springiness value.

Background: This study is based on the contact hypothesis that contact with mental illness is the most effective anti-stigma strategy. Aims: This study aims to analyze which form of contact can most effectively decrease the dangerousness and social distance associated with schizophrenia, depression and alcoholism. Method: In total, 573 Korean adults ( Mage = 43.71 years, standard deviation ( SD) = 13.41; 54.1% male, 45.9% female) were surveyed about randomly assigned vignettes of schizophrenia, depression and alcoholism. The participants were questioned on the dangerousness and social distance associated with the assigned vignette, as well as direct and indirect contact experience with the mental illness. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the main effect and interaction effect that the type of mental illness and contact experience have on the two dependent variables (dangerousness and social distance). Results: The findings show that the type of mental illness has a significant main effect on dangerousness and social distance, but contact type only has a significant main effect on social distance. Moreover, the two independent variables (mental illness subtype and contact experience) have an interaction effect on two dependent variables (dangerousness and social distance). Therefore, the anti-stigma effect of contact varies according to the type of mental illness. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that appropriate anti-stigma strategies are required for each type of mental illness. Considering that opportunities for direct contact with persons with mental illness are highly limited, it is necessary to actively utilize indirect contact.

Abstract Wheat flour, whole wheat flour, 25 and 50 % rye flour substituted wheat flour blends, 15 and 30 % wheat bran substituted wheat flour blends were supplemented with amyloglucosidase (at 0.000875 and 0.001 %), glucose oxidase (at 0.0003 and 0.001 %) and hemicellulase (at 0.001 and 0.005 %). The effects of enzymes on the extensographic properties of dough and quality characteristics of bread (specific volume, baking loss percentage and final moisture content) were studied. The interaction between type of flour/blend, type of enzyme and dosage of enzyme affected resistance to extension, extensibility and ratio of resistance to extensibility of doughs significantly. The interactions between type of flour/blend, type of enzyme and dosage of enzyme affected specific volume, baking loss percentage and final moisture content of breads significantly. The findings in this study indicated that enzymes can exhibit unexpected effects on dough and bread properties depending on type of flour and dosage of enzyme.

Latency is an important factor when conducting teleoperated missions. This study investigates the effects of latency on a set of dependent variables: performance (measured by time and number of errors), subjective workload, trust, and usability. These measures were tested in a simulated search-and-rescue mission over two levels of two independent variables. One independent variable was the number of robots – one or two (within-subject), and the other independent variable was latency – simulations with and without latency (between-subject.) The significant effect of the independent variables on the dependent variables were checked using repeated measure two-way ANOVA with a confidence level of 95%. The data determined any significant effects that latency and/or the number of robots had on such factors as errors, dependability, reliability, harmful outcomes, temporal demand, and frustration.

Although Malaysia is not a wheat-producing country, most Malaysian traditional foods uses wheat flour as its main ingredient. One ingredient substitution for wheat flour is modified starch, maltodextrin. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of wheat flour substitution with maltodextrin on physicochemical and sensorial properties of a Malay traditional cake, ‘bahulu’. Changes in the viscosity of batter, water activity (aw), specific volume, colour, texture profile and sensorial preference of ‘bahulu’ with 5% (M5), 10% (M10) and 15% (M15) maltodextrin substitution were measured. The results showed that with increase substitution of maltodextrin, batter viscosity, specific volume and aw values decreased. However, redness (+a*) of crust and yellowness (+b*) of crust and crumb, hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness of ‘bahulu’ increased. No significant difference was observed for L* (lightness) and –a* (greenness) of crumb, adhesiveness and cohesiveness. Compared to control, ‘bahulu’ with maltodextrin substitution showed reduction in degree of preference for sensory score except for texture attribute. This study indicates that replacement of wheat flour is possible at a certain level of substitution,  however, further improvements are required in order to maintain the quality of the Malaysian heritage food.

<p><em>This study aimed to evaluate the physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of French bread produced with partial replacement of wheat flour for unripe banana meal. Three formulations of bread were produced: standard with 100% of wheat flour, 8% replacement of wheat flour by unripe banana meal and 12% replacement of wheat flour by unripe banana meal. Were evaluated: moisture, ash, total protein, crude fiber, total lipid, total carbohydrate, specific volume and sensory analysis. The data were evaluated by ANOVA (p&lt;0.05). The results showed significant differences for moisture, protein and crude fibers. For ashes, lipid and specific volume were not finding significant differences. Sensory analysis indicated that color and flavor were negatively influenced by unripe banana meal (p&lt;0.05). The average scores of the attributes of the formulations standard, 8% of replacement and 12% of replacement were, respectively: 7.59 (liked moderately), 6.35 and 6.42 (liked slightly). Considering the greater nutritional value and the results of sensory analyses, we can recommend the consumption and production of the formulation with 12% of unripe banana meal.</em></p><p>DOI: 10.14685/rebrapa.v5i3.155</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of emulsifying starches used as additives in breadmaking. In order to achieve this, the partial replacement (5-10%) of wheat flour with starch sodium octenyl succinate (OSA starch), pregelatinized starch sodium octenyl succinate (Pregel OSA starch) and hydrolyzed spray-dried starch sodium octenyl succinate (Hydrol OSA starch) was performed. The quality characteristics of obtained bread were compared to control wheat flour bread and bread containing 0.5% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). The obtained results indicated that addition of Pregel and OSA starches influenced the increase in water absorption, whilst addition of Hydrol OSA starch exhibited the opposite effect. Moreover, the addition of all chosen starches influenced the decrease in dough stability. On the other hand, the positive effects of implementation of emulsifying starches on specific volume and texture were observed, where Pregel OSA and OSA starch have expressed the highest effect.
