Effects of ground flaxseed on bread quality, staling, and in particular on γ-tocopherol and unsaturated fatty acid composition were determined. Ground flaxseed was added in concentrations of 10, 15, 20, and 25% to wheat flour sample. Results showed that the use of ground flaxseed at a 10% level markedly increased loaf volume, specific loaf volume, Dallman degree and retarded bread staling. Oil and γ-tocopherol content and proportion of linolenic acid in fatty acid composition went up as the ratio of flaxseed flour in bread formulation was increased. Oil, γ-tocopherol content, and proportion of linolenic acid in fatty acid varied in the range of 1.48—8.20%, 0.2—0.24 g/kg sample oil, and 50.25—55.55%, respectively in breads enriched with flaxseed flour. During bread staling, the change in peroxide values, γ-tocopherol content, and fatty acid distribution were not significant. Bread samples were tested for crust color appearance, crumb color, shape-symmetry, external appearance, mouth feel, and taste-aroma. The general acceptability was good at the level of 15% flaxseed flour addition and other substitute levels were found satisfactory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
