Research efforts on gluten-free bread making have rapidly increased during the last decade.A lot of different approaches are being used to improve the quality of these products. The techniques used in gluten-free bread making research vary widely. This review focuses on the methodological aspects of gluten-free bread making research and extracts relevant data from all Web of Science peer reviewed research articles on gluten-free bread published from 2010 to date. Recipes and methodologies are grouped by (main) starch source and list other ingredients, additives and treatments used. The focus lies on the experimental setups typically used to analyze batter/dough and end product. Small deformation rheological measurements are typically performed on gluten-free batter/dough, along with several other batter/dough properties, but there is no clear link between these characteristics and the bread quality which typically is determined by volume and texture analysis or sensory evaluation. Some more recent techniques that have already been used on wheat bread or other bakery products are discussed as well. Their application in gluten-free bread making research may help extend the current knowledge.
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.
