The use of a mixture of vegetable powders in the production of bakery products

В последние годы все большее внимание уделяется разработке продукции, обогащенной растительными компонентами. Целью данной работы являлось исследование влияния смесей из порошков растительного происхождения на свойства теста и качество готовых изделий (булочной мелочи). В рецептуру изделий добавляли растительные смеси: № 1 - порошок облепихи, жимолости, мелкоплодных яблок и порошок из жмыха тыквы, № 2 - порошок облепихи и мелкоплодных яблок в количестве 10, 15 и 20 % от массы муки по сухому веществу. Смеси составляли из компонентов, взятых в равных количествах. Сравнительная оценка пищевой ценности смесей показала, что в смеси № 1 выше количество пищевых волокон, кальция и фосфора относительно смеси № 2. В смеси № 2 преобладает количество белков, жиров, органических кислот, калия, натрия, марганца и железа. По содержанию витаминов преимущество на стороне смеси № 2, за исключением витаминов В и В. Установили повышение кислотности теста с внесением растительных смесей, что указывает на интенсификацию процесса брожения. Исследование качества готовых изделий показало, что при соответствии физико-химических показателей требованиям технической документации, при дозировках смесей выше 10 % отмечали значительное потемнение цвета изделий, появление растительного привкуса, а в изделиях с добавлением смеси №1 неприятное послевкусие. Наиболее рациональной для производства хлебобулочных изделий повышенной пищевой ценности для здорового питания признана рецептура с использованием растительной смеси № 2 из порошков облепихи и мелкоплодных яблок в количестве 10 % к массе муки. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the development of products enriched with plant components. The purpose of this work was to study the effect of mixtures of powders of vegetable origin on the properties of dough and the quality of finished products (bakery trifles). Vegetable mixtures were added to the recipe of the products: No. 1 - sea buckthorn powder, honeysuckle, small-fruited apples and pumpkin cake powder; No. 2 - sea buckthorn powder and small-fruited apples, in the amount of 10, 15 and 20 % of the flour weight by dry matter. The mixtures were made up of components taken in equal quantities. A comparative assessment of the nutritional value of the mixtures showed that the amount of dietary fiber, calcium and phosphorus in mixture No. 1 is higher, relative to mixture No. 2. The mixture No. 2 is dominated by the amount of proteins, fats, organic acids, potassium, sodium, manganese and iron. In terms of vitamin content, the advantage is on the side of mixture No. 2, with the exception of vitamins B and B. An increase in the acidity of the dough was established, with the introduction of vegetable mixtures, which indicates an intensification of the fermentation process. The study of the quality of finished products showed that when the physico-chemical parameters meet the requirements of technical documentation, at dosages of mixtures above 10%, a significant darkening of the color of the products, the appearance of a vegetable taste, and in products with the addition of mixture No. 1, an unpleasant aftertaste was noted. The most rational recipe for the production of bakery products of increased nutritional value for a healthy diet is recognized, using a vegetable mixture No. 2 of sea buckthorn powders and small-fruited apples in an amount of 10 % by weight of flour.

Vegan Egg: A Future-Proof Food Ingredient?

Vegan eggs are designed with the aim to provide a healthier and more sustainable alternative to regular eggs. The major drivers of this industry are the increasing prevalence of egg allergies, awareness towards environmental sustainability, and the shift to vegan diets. This study intends to discuss, for the first time, the vegan egg market, including their formulation, nutritional aspects, and some applications (i.e., mayonnaise and bakery products). Recreating the complete functionality of eggs using plant-based ingredients is very challenging due to the complexity of eggs. Current, but scarce, research in this field is focused on making mixtures of plant-based ingredients to fit specific food formulations. Nutritionally, providing vegan eggs with similar or higher nutritional value to that of eggs can be of relevance to attract health-conscious consumers. Claims such as clean labels, natural, vegan, animal-free, gluten-free, and/or cholesterol-free can further boost the position of vegan eggs in the market in the coming year. At present, this market is still in its infancy stages, and clear regulations of labeling, safety, and risk assessment are deemed mandatory to organize the sector, and protect consumers.

Date Components as Promising Plant-Based Materials to Be Incorporated into Baked Goods—A Review

Date (Phoenix dactylifera L. Arecaceae) fruits and their by-products are rich in nutrients. The health benefits of dates and their incorporation into value-added products have been widely studied. The date-processing industry faces a significant sustainability challenge as more than 10% (w/w) of the production is discarded as waste or by-products. Currently, food scientists are focusing on bakery product fortification with functional food ingredients due to the high demand for nutritious food with more convenience. Utilizing date components in value-added bakery products is a trending research area with increasing attention. Studies where the researchers tried to improve the quality of bakery goods by incorporating date components have shown positive results, with several drawbacks that need attention and further research. The objective of this review is to present a comprehensive overview of the utilization of date components in bakery products and to identify gaps in the current knowledge. This review will help focus further research in the area of valorization of date by-products and thereby contribute to the generation of novel functional bakery products that meet consumer expectations and industry standards, thus generating income for the relevant industry and considerable alleviation of the environmental burden this waste and by-products contribute to. Only a few studies have been focused on utilizing date by-products and their extracts for baked goods, while a research area still remaining under-explored is the effect of incorporation of date components on the shelf life of bakery products.

The Role of Hydrocolloids in Gluten-Free Bread and Pasta; Rheology, Characteristics, Staling and Glycemic Index

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.

Rheological Approaches of Wheat Flour Dough Enriched with Germinated Soybean and Lentil

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.

Research of technological properties of bread made with the addition of beet kvass

The issue of healthy eating has always been relevant, especially this problem has been exacerbated by the rapid development of food technology and the production of a significant number of semi-finished products. As a result, there is a need to develop new types of food, including unleavened and low-calorie bread, bakery products enriched with vitamins, minerals, plant supplements. The aim of the work was to substantiate the technology of bread production with the use of beet kvass and to investigate the physico-chemical quality indicators of experimental samples of finished products. Technological indicators that characterize the quality of bread: moisture, porosity, crumbliness, acidity were determined by generally accepted methods. Bread made with beet kvass has been found to have well-developed crumb porosity, does not crumble for a long time, hardens slowly, and is resistant to microbiological spoilage. The crumb is not deformed and elastic when pressed. Replacing part of the water during the kneading of wheat dough with beet kvass (50 % by weight of flour) makes it possible to intensify the maturation of semi-finished products, both in traditional and accelerated technologies, to create a more complete nutrient medium for yeast activation, to obtain high quality bakery products storage. It has also been found that during the storage of bread, the hydrophilic properties of the crumb, its crumbliness changes slightly. The drying process is most intense during the first day, then slows down.
