Two re-heating methods and different refrigerating time were carried to compare the re-heating stored, refrigerated bread quality. Compared with the natural thawed steamed, sensory properties of re-heating bread were significantly improved, steam method improved moisture content while that re-heated by microwave decreased, the secondary structure of protein was significantly affected by re-heating. Rapidly digestible starch (RDS) content in bread re-heated by steam and by microwave decreased significantly, compared with fresh bread. With the storage time increasing, the sensory quality of bread showed a downward trend after being re-heated by steam; water content increased and then decreased; β-turn decreased gradually, while random coil increased gradually; starch aging showed a trend of gradual enhancement. RDS content and protein digestibility decreased gradually. Nutritional quality of the bread re-heated by steam was better than that by microwave, optimum cold storage time for the bread re-heated by steam should be no more than 24 h.
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.
