The effects of gums on macro and micro-structure of breads baked in different ovens

2009-12-01
In this study, the effects of gums on macro and micro-structure of breads baked in different ovens (infrared (IR)-microwave combination and conventional) were investigated by the help of image and SEM analysis, respectively. The gums used were xanthan, guar, K-carrageenan and xanthan-guar blend. The gums were added to the formulation at 0.5% concentration. As a control, no gum added formulations were used. Results of Image analysis demonstrated that xanthan-guar gum blend addition improved bread quality with increasing pore area fractions. It was seen that about 75% of the pores of control breads baked in infrared-microwave combination oven and about 63% of the pores of control breads baked in conventional oven had diameters of above 1000 pm. According to SEM analysis, pores in control breads baked in conventional oven were found to be smaller, and had spherical, oval-like shape as compared to the ones baked in IR-microwave combination oven. Moreover, more homogeneous closed-cell structure was observed for conventionally baked control breads. The pores of breads baked in IR-microwave combination oven were so close to each other which resulted in coalescence of the gas cells to form channels, then the pores were no longer spherical. The starch granules in conventionally baked breads were more distorted and seen as a continuous sheet of gelatinized starch. On the other hand, granular residues and continuous starch structure was observed together in IR-microwave combination heating.

The effects of different gums and gum blends addition on crumb structure of gluten-free breads were studied by X-ray microtomography. The gums used were xanthan, guar, locust bean (LBG), agar, methylcellulose (MC), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and the gum blends were xanthan-guar and xanthan-LBG. Porosity, number, average size, aspect ratio and roundness of pores were used as parameters to describe the internal structure of the crumbs. Characteristics of the crumb str...
A study on the effects of different gums on dielectric properties and quality of breads baked in infrared-microwave combination oven
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...
Effects of hydrocolloids on apparent viscosity of batters and quality of chicken nuggets
Altunakar, B; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Informa UK Limited, 2006-06-01)
The effect of different types of starches and gums on batter consistency and the effect of batter consistency on quality parameters of deep-fat fried chicken nuggets were determined in this study. Consistency of batter was correlated with coating pickup and oil content of the product. Addition of different starch and gum species to batter was found to be effective for both viscosity development and quality attributes of deep-fat fried chicken nuggets. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose gum (HPMC), xanthan gum, a...
Effects of heat-treated liquid whole egg on cake batter rheology and the quality of baked cake
Uysal, Reyhan Selin; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Boyaci, Ismail Hakki (Wiley, 2019-04-01)
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of heat-treated liquid whole egg (LWE) on cake batter rheology (shear rate-viscosity and shear rate-shear stress) and quality characteristics (moisture loss, color, porosity, texture, and specific volume) of baked cakes. LWE was pasteurized at different levels which were 60-68 degrees C for 2 and 5 min. Cake batter and baked cakes were prepared using both untreated and treated LWE, and rheological properties and quality characteristics were measured...
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...
