Quality Attributes of Muffins: Effect of Baking Operative Conditions

Abstract: Muffins are sweet baked products highly appreciated by consumers because of their soft texture and characteristic taste. The aim of this work was to study the influence of baking conditions on muffins' quality. Surface crust color was monitored during baking tests at oven temperatures ranging from 140 to 220 °C, and browning kinetics was modeled by means of a browning index, BI, which follows a logistic model; a joint analysis of core temperature profile and BI curve can assist in the prediction of baking time… Show more

“…The main mass transfer characteristics associated with baking include an evaporation front moving from the surface towards the product core. The evaporation front divides the product into two zones: the crust (outer zone, dehydrated) and the crumb (inner zone, humid) (Ureta et al ., ). Surface crust colour is an important quality attribute used to characterise the end of the baking process (AitAmeur et al ., ).…”

“…The changes in the BI was described using the logistic model (Eqn ) (Ureta et al . ) BI=BI0+BImaxBI01+expfalse(normalk(tt1/2)false)where ‘BI 0 ’ was the initial browning index ( t = 0), ‘k’ was the reaction rate constant, ‘BI max ’ was the maximum browning index and ‘ t 1/2 ’ was the time when half of the maximum browning index value was reached. The effect of temperature on browning index was estimated by the Arrhenius relationship (Eqn ).k=normalk0expEaRTwhere ‘k’ was the reaction rate constant, ‘k 0 ’ was the frequency factor (per min), ‘ E a ’ was the activation energy (J/mol), ‘R’ was the universal gas constant (8.314 J/mol K) and ‘ T ’ was the absolute temperature (K).…”

“…Although this index was originally developed to represent the browning of liquid model systems, recently, it has been satisfactorily used to report the browning variation of several bakery products. The browning index (BI) was calculated from the CIELab parameters, and the basic theoretical aspects and equations have been discussed elsewhere (Lorenzo et al 2014;Ureta et al 2014). The bread crumb browning was significantly dependent on the F content.…”
