Effect of rosehip flour on the properties of wheat dough and bread

Abstract

Introduction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of rosehip flour on some properties of wheat dough and bread. Materials and methods. Bread was prepared from wheat flour with the addition of rosehip flour in the amount of 5, 10 and 15% to replace the equal amount of the wheat flour. The used methods are standardized and generally accepted for evaluation of bread. Results and discussion. It was found that the addition of different amounts of rosehip flour to wheat flour affected the intensity of gas formation, as the percentage of rosehip flour added had increased, the intensity of gas formation decreased. When adding 5% rosehip flour, there was no significant deterioration of gas formation. Incorporation of rosehip flour into wheat dough resulted in a decrease in water absorption and degree of softening and the lowest results were found in the sample with 15% rosehip flour added. In terms of dough development time and consistency, there were no significant differences between the samples. Dough stability was found to be higher in the samples containing rosehip flour, with the highest value reported for the sample with 5% rosehip flour. Dough and bread color characteristics decreased with increasing the rosehip flour quantity. Darker colour of rosehip flour enriched samples could be due to the original colour of rosehip fibre, which is rather brown and slightly reddish. The substitution of wheat flour with rosehip flour resulted in a decrease in volume, specific volume, height/diameter ratio and baking loss of the wheat bread. Some of the sensory parameters of bread (crust color, aroma and taste) in the rosehip flour supplemented samples were rated higher by the panelists compared to the control sample, regardless of the amount of rosehip flour added. Conclusions. The rosehip flour could be successfully used as an additive in wheat bread formulation. In the sensory assessment bread samples with rosehip flour in terms of some properties such as crust color, aroma and taste had higher scores than the control sample.

Establishing the character and share of changes in nutrients during the production of bread with the addition of dog rose syrup

“…The paper [21] presents the results of a study of the effect of rosehip flour (RF) on water absorption and the degree of softening into wheat dough, as well as the organoleptic parameters of bread. The incorporation of RF into wheat dough resulted in a decrease in water absorption and degree of softening, and the lowest results were found in the sample with 15 % RF added.…”
