The main aim for the development of multigrain breads was to meet the increasing demand of healthy diet with reference to economy. The multigrain breads were developed by replacing wheat flour by 5.10, 15, 20 and 30% of oat, barley, maize and rice flours and 1% flax seeds were incorporated in bread making to increase its pharmaceutical value. A prominent change was observed in case of protein content by altering the substitution levels. Similarly fat, fibre and ash also vary by varying the flour ratios. The colour analysis showed certain change in L * , a * and b * values. More the fibre content was introduced in the samples, more the brown colour appeared. The texture profile analysis (hardness, springiness, chewiness & cohesiveness) increased by increasing the percentage of composite flours in the blends. Physical characteristics (bread volume, dough expansion and specific volume) increased by decreasing the percentage of blends in the bread samples and vice versa.
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.
