The main objective of this study was to formulate gluten free breads based on different flours, gums, and emulsifiers for baking in infrared-microwave combination oven. In the first part of the study, the rheological properties of different gluten-free bread dough formulations containing only rice flour and rice-chestnut flour blend with different gums, gum blends and/or emulsifiers were evaluated. Power law model and Herschel–Bulkley models were found to explain the flow behaviors of rice and chestnut-rice dough formulations, respectively. The formulations with the chestnut:rice flour ratio of 30:70 promoted the desired quality parameters of gluten-free breads. Using tigernut flour in formulations improved the color of gluten-free rice breads. Furthermore, gum blend and emulsifier DATEM addition were found to be the necessary ingredients to obtain the desired physical properties in gluten-free bread formulations. In the second part of the study, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize formulations and infrared-microwave baking conditions for gluten-free breads. Breads containing 46.5% chestnut flour and 0.62% emulsifier and baked using 40% infrared and 30% microwave power for 9 min had comparable quality with conventionally baked ones. The effects of different flours, gums, and emulsifiers on macro- and micro-structures of the gluten-free breads baked in different ovens were studied by using image analysis technique and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The highest pore area fraction values were obtained in breads prepared by replacement of 46% of rice flour with chestnut flour containing xanthan–guar gum blend–DATEM mixture and baked in an infrared–microwave combination oven. The addition of different gums and gum blends on the crumb structures of gluten-free breads were evaluated by using X-ray microtomography (X-ray μCT) and gluten-free breads prepared with the addition of xanthan, carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC), xanthan-guar, xanthan-LBG and HPMC had higher number of smaller pores with finer crumb structure. Lastly, the effects of different formulations and storage time on staling of conventionally and infrared-microwave baked breads were studied. Firmness, moisture loss and retrogradation enthalpy values for all bread samples increased significantly during storage. Retrogradation enthalpies and total crystallinity values of breads did not show significant differences with baking method. Using chestnut flour and xanthan-guar gum blend-DATEM mixture in formulations significantly delayed staling of gluten-free breads by decreasing moisture loss, firmness, retrogradation enthalpy, and total mass crystallinity.

Development of gluten-free wafer sheet formulations
MERT, Selen; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (2015-10-01)
The main objective of this study was to develop gluten-free wafer sheet formulations by replacing rice flour partially with different gluten-free flours at different ratios. Rice-corn flour blends, rice-buckwheat flour blends and rice-chestnut flour blends with different ratios (80:20, 60:40, 40:60) were used in the experiments in order to find the higher quality and more nutritional gluten-free wafer sheet formulations. As a control, wafer sheet samples containing only rice flour and only wheat flour were ...

The main objective of this study was to design gluten-free breads containing chestnut and rice flour and xanthan-guar gum blend to be baked in infrared-microwave combination oven. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimise gluten-free bread formulations and processing conditions. Weight loss, firmness, specific volume and colour change of the breads were determined. Rice flour mixed with different proportions of chestnut flour and different emulsifier contents were used to prepare breads. The g...
Usage of enzymes in a novel baking process
Keskin, SO; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Wiley, 2004-04-01)
In this study, the effects of different enzymes (a-amylase, xylanase, lipase, protease) on quality of breads baked in different ovens (microwave, halogen lamp-microwave combination and conventional oven) were investigated. It was also aimed to reduce the quality problems of breads baked in microwave ovens with the usage of enzymes. As a control, bread dough containing no enzyme was used. Specific volume, firmness and color of the breads were measured as quality parameters. All of the enzymes were found to b...

Keskin, Semin Ozge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-01-01)
In this study, the effects of different gums on dielectric properties of doughs and breads baked in infrared-microwave combination oven were investigated. In addition, the quality parameters of breads formulated with different gums baked in infrared-microwave combination oven were determined. The gums used were xanthan, guar, xanthan-guar blend and kappa-carrageenan. The gums were added to the formulation at 0.5% concentration. The dielectric properties and quality parameters of breads baked in infrared-mic...
