e role of arabinoxylans (AXs) in bread-making has gained interest due to their positive contribution to bread quality. erefore, the e ect of di erently extracted (water, alkaline, or enzymatic) rye AXs on gluten-free (GF) buckwheat and millet batter rheology and bread properties was evaluated. e results showed that the addition of AXs in uenced most of the batter and bread properties di erently, which depended on the chemical and structural properties of the AXs. All batter systems displayed a typical weak gel behavior. Enzyme-(Pentopan Mono BG-) extracted AXs (PEAXs) were able to strengthen both millet and buckwheat batter structures to a greater degree, as seen by the increase in storage modulus. Regarding bread properties, in buckwheat breads, calcium hydroxide-extracted AX (CEAX) was able to improve the speci c volume (from 1.73 to 1.93 cm 3 /g) and rmness (from 10.88 to 4.69 N) the most, compared to the control. e AXs extracted successively with water and the enzyme Pentopan Mono BG (WPEAX) produced the highest loaf volume (2.39 cm 3 /g) and one of the lowest crumb rmness values (5.51 N) but caused larger pores and a ruptured crust. In millet breads, water-extracted AXs (WEAXs) and CEAX produced lowest crumb hardness (WEAX: 6.94 N; CEAX: 8.53 N). Speci c volume was highest in breads with WEAX (2.35 cm 3 /g), but CEAX displayed a better pore structure. Overall, water-extracted AXs improved the GF bread properties to a higher extent than alkaline-extracted AXs. Only CEAX displayed a comparable e ect in some cases, and considering the fact that alkaline extraction of AX is much more e cient (much higher yield), its application compared to other AXs could be more favorable. Overall, AXs hold great potential as baking improvers for GF bread; the extent of their improvement will be de ned by their functional properties.
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.
