Lipid interactions in breadmaking.

Abstract

Both the natural lipids of flour and added fats are known to play an important role during the production of bread. In this review, the chemical and physical interactions of fat have been assessed in an attempt to explain these technological functions. Particular emphasis has been placed on the "binding" or complexing of lipid by flour proteins during the development of dough. While publications in this field have frequently been contradictory, evidence now indicates that observed lipid binding may involve lipid mesophase transformation and the nonspecific occlusion of lipid phases within the gluten network. The significance of these suggested events has been compared with current theories of lipid function in the breadmaking process.

Development of a synthetic bolus using silicone elastomer for the study of masticatory efficiency.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Masticatory efficiency has been proposed as an outcome measure for prosthetic rehabilitation. However, no standardized method is available for this type of assessment. PURPOSE: This study developed a normalized synthetic test food with reproducible physical and rheologic properties. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two silicone putties of different hardness were studied. The texture of each putty varied by the addition of silicone oil. Rheologic characteristics of 7 samples were compared with the same properties of 5 natural food substances. RESULTS: Seven varieties of synthetic bolus were produced, each of which were of a different hardness, modulus of elasticity, and tensile strength. The natural food substances demonstrated great rheologic variability. The synthetic bolus samples exhibited a texture profile approaching that of natural foods. The principal difference between the 2 groups tested was that of the homogeneity of the silicone samples. CONCLUSION: None of the samples reproduced all the rheologic properties of the natural food substances; however, the results showed that their characteristics were sufficiently similar for the silicone samples to be suggested as a reproducible alternative for the testing of masticatory efficiency.

A polyphasic study on the taxonomic position of industrial sour dough yeasts.

The sour dough bread making process is extensively used to produce wholesome palatable rye bread. The process is traditionally done using a back-slopping procedure. Traditional sour doughs in Finland comprise of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. The yeasts present in these doughs have been enriched in the doughs due to their metabolic activities, e.g. acid tolerance. We characterized the yeasts in five major sour bread bakeries in Finland. We found that most of the commercial sour doughs contained yeasts which were similar to Candida milleri on the basis of 18S rDNA and EF-3 PCR-RFLP patterns and metabolic activities. Some of the bakery yeasts exhibited extensive karyotype polymorphism. The minimum growth temperature was 8 degrees C for C. milleri and also for most of sour dough yeasts.
