Technology of biscuits with a balanced fatty acid composition

The article presents the results of research on the development of the technology of biscuits using non-traditional plant raw materials. In the course of the work, the replacement of a part of the premium wheat flour in the dairy crust recipe with a mixture of rice (17%) and sesame (11%) and the replacement of butter with camelina butter in an amount of 5% by weight of the product was justified. It was found that the introduction of functional raw materials gives the products a moderately sweet milk taste with a pleasant nutty aftertaste and orange color. The resulting products are characterized by a balanced fatty acid composition of ω-3 and ω-6, enriched with minerals and vitamins. Calculation of the nutritional value showed that the consumption of 100 g of the developed biscuits covers the daily need of an adult for polyunsaturated fatty acids of the ω-3 and ω-6 families by 37–75% and 19,4–31,5, respectively. The protein content rises by 1,5 times, and the carbohydrate content decreases by 1,16 times. At the same time, the degree of satisfaction of the daily requirement for potassium increases – by 2,3%, in calcium – by 7–7,5%, in phosphorus – by 12,6%, in magnesium – by 16,3%, in iron – by 7,3–13,3%. The degree of satisfaction of the daily requirement for vitamins B1 also increases – by 19,7–20,9%, B2 – by 2,2–2,3%, PP – by 8,1–9,3%, E – by 1,6–1,7% compared to the control sample of dairy cakes. The developed products can be recommended for preventive nutrition, people adhering to a healthy lifestyle, as well as school-age children, pregnant and lactating women who have a deficiency of ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids in the diet

Use of the complex baking improver «Unipan Total» in the technology of bakery products

The results of the study of the influence of various concentrations of the complex bakery improver «Unipan Total» on the properties of semi-finished products and quality indicators of bakery products are presented. Bakery products were produced using the unpaired method according to a unified recipe for Dniprovskaya buns. To obtain a high-quality product, prototypes were prepared from wheat bakery flour of the highest grade with the addition of the «Unipan Total» improver at a concentration of 0,5 to 8% to the flour weight, control ones without the improver. Organoleptic and physicochemical indicators of the quality of wheat bread samples were determined by conventional methods.

Research of the possibility of replacing sugar to sugar substitute in the recipe of cake from wheat flour

The article presents the results of a study on replacing sugar with the sugar substitute «Stevia» in bakery and confectionery products, in particular, in muffins. In the course of test baking, the optimal concentration of the Stevia sweetener in the wheat flour cake recipe was determined, at which the finished confectionery product meets the requirements for organoleptic and physicochemical indicators for confectionery products. A comparative assessment of the energy value of a cake made from wheat flour with sugar and a sugar substitute «Stevia» is given.

Investigation of the effect of amaranth flour and the protein base of the emulsion gel on the quality of custard cream

The article presents the results of research on the development of custard technology using amaranth flour, starch complex, sunflower oil and protein-polysaccharide mixture (BPS). To enrich the custard, instead of butter, sunflower oil was introduced, which is a source of vitamin E and essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic), does not contain cholesterol, and also serves as a source of energy and plastic material for humans. Soy protein isolate and dry whey were intended as a protein in BPS, and sodium alginate, gum arabic and pectin were intended as polysaccharides. On the basis of physical and chemical studies, the optimal combinations of polysaccharides, the percentage of amaranth flour and starch in the cream have been established. It was found that soy-based protein has better physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics in comparison with whey. Research results show that encapsulation in BPS improves the structure of the cream, reduces the density and cost of the product. Custard recipes have been developed based on soy protein isolate and whey powder, with the addition of vegetable oil and amaranth flour. The use of encapsulation allows you to enrich the product with useful oils and dietary fiber. A functional product has been obtained, without the addition of dairy products and wheat flour.

The influence of foxtail millet flour on the formation of bakery products flavor

The article presents the results of a study of the formation of flavor‑forming substances in flour products with the addition of foxtail millet and amaranth flour to the recipe. It is proved instrumentally on the smell analyzer «MAG‑8» with the methodology «electronic nose» that for the samples submitted for testing, the smell is correct and not pronounced, the absence of aromatic additives, odor enhancers, the presence of destructive processes and mold formation.

Development of cooked semi‑finished product of special purpose on the basis of gluten‑free raw materials

The article presents the results of a study on the development of a recipe for semi‑finished custard based on gluten‑free raw materials. The ratio of components in the gluten‑free mixture was optimized using the regression analysis method. The influence of gluten‑free raw materials on the rheological properties of the semi‑ finished product is studied. The variants of the experiment differed in the composition of the composite mixture (the ratio of corn, rice flour and corn starch). The chemical composition and the ratio of the components of the mixture determine the rheological properties of the semi‑finished product. The experimental version with the ratio of rice flour, corn flour and corn starch 50:40:10 most corresponds to the rheological properties of the control version and is characterized by high consumer properties.

Use of apple pectin in bakery products

The article considers the possibility of use of apple pectin as a source of food fibers in the production of bakery products. During the work, its impact on regulated quality indicators (organoleptic and physicochemical) and microbiological safety indicators of experimental samples was studied. Calculation of nutritional and energy value has been carried out. It was found that by the content of dietary fibers experimental samples cover more than 15% of the daily norm, which corresponds to their functional orientation.

Baking properties of triticale flour produced from grain of triticale varieties of Russian selection

The results of a study of the baking properties of triticale grain of different varieties are presented. The possibility of using triticale flour, produced from grains of different varieties of triticale of Russian selection, in bakery production is shown.

An alternative method for producing wheat-flaxseed flour

An alternative method of obtaining wheat-flax flour, based on the use of coarse reduction wheat grits and semolina (from Triticum aestivum) for its subsequent grinding combined with flax seeds, has been developed. This allowed to significantly simplify the grinding process, to eliminate the non-uniform fat distribution among flour grades, which is typical for multi-grade grinding. The technological scheme of a binary grain mixture grinding included one break system and three reduction systems. Break process was performed on a roller mill RSA with an inter-roller gap of 0,05 mm which ensured flour release of at least 50%. Reduction was performed on the reduction part of the facility MLU 202 with a minimal inter-roller gap of 0,01 mm. It was found that the flax seeds introduction into the mixture significantly influenced on all quality indicators, at that the greatest influence was detected at the semolina and flax seeds mixture processing. Statistical analysis enabled to determine a linear character of the dependence of flour color on the yield (R = 0,96–0,99). In comparison to the control the ash content of flour made from a mixture of wheat grits and flax seeds increased by 0,03%, of flour made from semolina and flax seeds mixture – by 0,1%. The fat content of wheat-flax flour (wheat grits + flax seeds) is 3,8%, of wheat-flax flour (semolina + flax seeds) – 3,6%. Flour and bread made from these types of mixtures had high consumer properties that indicates the possibility of its use for obtaining specialized types of bread and production of flour confectionery products.
