Bread Fortified with Cooked Purple Potato Flour and Citrus Albedo: An Evaluation of Its Compositional and Sensorial Properties

Abstract

This research aimed to explore the feasibility of fortifying bread with cooked Vitelotte potato powder and Citrus albedo, comparing the use of baker’s yeast or sourdough as leavening agents. Breads obtained were thus subjected to physico-chemical and sensory characterizations. The replacement of part of the wheat flour with purple potato and albedo determined a significant enhancement of the phenolic profile and antioxidant status of fortified breads, as well as a longer shelf life. Thanks to its acidity and antimicrobial activity, sourdough improved the levels of health-promoting compounds and stability. Both the fortification and the leavening agent deeply affected the organoleptic, expression, and the aroma profile, of the fortified bread. Interestingly, albedo addition, despite its effectiveness in boosting the phenolic profile, determined a higher perception of aftertaste and bitterness, irrespective of the leavening agent. Based on these results, the use of purple potatoes and Citrus albedo, if properly formulated, could represent a valuable strategy for the development of high-quality products, with longer shelf-life.

Olive Cake Powder as Functional Ingredient to Improve the Quality of Gluten-Free Breadsticks

“…Moreover, it shows a good mineral content and lipidic profile due to its richness in mono and polyunsaturated acids (oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid) [ 36 ]. In the literature, there are several studies that have highlighted the health benefits related to a regular and appropriate ingestion of fibre [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ] and phenolic compounds [ 41 , 42 , 43 ], which are also exploited as natural additives in foods, substituting chemical ones, due to their antioxidant and antimicrobials actions [ 44 , 45 , 46 ].…”

Metabolomics as a Tool to Elucidate the Sensory, Nutritional and Safety Quality of Wheat Bread—A Review

“…Moreover, according to the authors, these findings showed that grape pomace enriched bread could promote an antioxidant environment in the digestive tract [78]. In the same regard, Taglieri et al [79] showed that secondary metabolites from Vitellote potatoes significantly improved the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of fortified bread with the highest values when sourdough was the leavening agent. The capacity of hemp flour to deliver biologically active compounds and flavors in bread was also investigated by metabolomics analyses.…”

A Statistical Approach to Describe the Ripening Evolution of Sangiovese Grapes Coming from Different Chianti Classico Sub-Areas

“…In order to compare the nine vineyards, the program Root Data Analysis Framework based on C++ language was used for the data processing [27,28]. The program uses a minimum model that allows for the following function to be reduced to a minimum:…”
