    Pasting properties of buckwheat, rice and maize flours and textural properties of their gels: Effect of ascorbic acid concentration

    Yildiz, Ö.; Toker, O.S.; Yüksel, F.; Cavus, M.; Ceylan, M.M.; Yurt, B.

    In the present study, the effect of ascorbic acid addition on the pasting properties of several gluten-free flours, namely buckwheat, maize and rice flours, and textural properties of their gels were also investigated. Pasting curves of control flour and 10 mg/kg ascorbic acid-including flour were found to be very similar to each other. However, higher levels of ascorbic acid significantly influenced the magnitude of all pasting parameters such as peak viscosity, trough viscosity, breakdown viscosity, final viscosity, setback viscosity, peak time and pasting temperature. Regarding textural properties specifying machinability of the doughs, ascorbic acid addition also generally influenced textural characteristics such as hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness and resilience parameters of the samples. According to the results, the ascorbic acid level to be used with the gluten-free flour should be adjusted carefully with regard to pasting and textural parameters. Ascorbic acid addition level directly affected the quality of the end products, determining consumer preference.

    Effect of apple fibre on textural and relaxation properties of wheat chips dough

    Karaman, S.; Yilmaz, M.T.; Toker, O.S.; Yuksel, F.; Kayacier, A.; Dogan, M.

    In this study, the effect of apple fibre with different levels of fibres (5, 10, 15 and 20%) was investigated on viscoelastic nature and the textural properties of wheat chips dough using stress relaxation test and texture profile analysis. Apple fibre addition changed the stress relaxation properties of wheat dough, depending on fibre concentration. Increase in the fibre concentration increased resistance of the dough samples to the deformation by increasing their elasticity. Hardness and gumminess values increased while springiness, cohesiveness and resilience values decreased as apple fibre level increased. Significant correlations were found between stress relaxation and texture profile analysis parameters. In order to describe the effect of apple fibre on the viscoelastic properties of wheat dough, generalised Maxwell, Nussinovitch and Peleg models were fitted to experimental stress relaxation data. All three models were found to be efficient in describing the stress-relaxation behaviour of wheat dough; but, the Maxwell model was the most effective. In addition, power-law and exponential functions were successfully used to describe the effect of apple fibre concentration on the constants related with stress relaxation data and textural parameters.
