“…Davidou et al (1996) reported that xanthan gum decreased the rigidity of bread as determined by dynamic mechanical measurements. Furthermore, xanthan gum improves the quality of frozen dough and par-baked bread applications by increasing water retention, improving freezethaw stability, and increasing final loaf volume (Mandala, Kapetanakou, & Kostaropoulos, 2008;Morimoto, Tabara, & Seguchi, 2015). Xanthan gum has received increased attention in recent years for its potential to improve gluten-free baking applications (Peressini, Pin, & Sensidoni, 2011;Sciarini, Ribotta, Leon, & Perez, 2010).…”
