Summary: The interactions between low-molecular-weight emulsifier (LME) and polymer in emulsion system were studied, and the mechanisms of stabilizing emulsions were investigated. It was found that LME was more efficiently adsorbed on the oil-water interface and formed a honeycomb structure, enhancing the stability of the emulsion gels.

Summary: This study examined the physicochemical properties of potato starch-sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL) complexes formed by annealing potato starch with 0.6% SSL in different ethanol solutions. The complexes showed higher iodine binding capacity and thermal stability, as well as decreased swelling power and solubility of starch granules. The results suggest that the starch-SSL complexes have potential applications in high-temperature processed foods.

Summary: The aim of this study was to improve the starch digestibility of wheat bread by adding Qingke flour. The results showed that the addition of Qingke flour significantly reduced the starch digestion of bread, but also resulted in a decrease in bread quality and sensory attributes. However, the addition of certain additives improved the quality and sensory characteristics of the bread. Additionally, the Qingke-supplemented bread produced new volatile compounds, resulting in a different aroma compared to the original wheat bread.

Summary: Commercial enzyme preparations were used to study the impact of maltogenic alpha-amylase and maltotetraogenic amylase on straight dough wheat bread, identifying specific amylases responsible for the amylolytic activity and clarifying their effects on sugar composition during storage. Despite changes observed in bread crumb, there is no definite evaluation of their potential technological function in the final product. This study contributes to a fundamental understanding of the relation between specific amylases, residual activity, and saccharide composition changes in wheat bread during storage.

Summary: Significant differences were found in the rheological properties of different bread wheat varieties cultivated in Sivas, with Flamura-85 showing the highest water absorption and extensibility, while Esperia and Tosunbey stood out in terms of various parameters. In another study involving imported bread wheat varieties in Turkey, Orenburgskaya-10 (Kazakh), Krasnodar (Russian), and Zitnica (Hungarian) cultivars displayed distinct physicochemical properties, suggesting Orenburgskaya-10 might offer higher quality compared to other cultivars if imported into Turkey.

Summary: This study aimed to obtain gluten-free pregelatinized composite flours using whole-grain sorghum flour. The study showed that conditioning moisture had the greatest impact on flour properties such as peak viscosity and setback. Pregelatinized composite flours with similar pasting properties to chemically modified sorghum starches were successfully obtained.

Summary: The study examined the partial replacement of wheat flour with different protein isolates in biscuit making. The high water absorption capacities of protein blends affected process and technological characteristics, but the quality of baked biscuits remained similar to the control. The findings demonstrated that protein blends can be used to increase protein content in biscuits while maintaining acceptable baking properties.

Summary: This study evaluated the rheological properties of wheat flour doughs substituting with pea, soybean, and whey protein isolates, comparing their behavior. The results showed that pea protein had the least impact on pure flour, while whey protein caused significant changes and soybean protein was in between. Adding 10% pea or soybean protein, or 5% whey protein did not greatly modify the viscoelasticity of the dough, making them suitable for bread production. Higher concentrations of protein would be more suitable for making molded biscuits.

Summary: This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics of Brewers' spent grain (BSG) and the effects of substituting wheat flour with different types of BSG on dough and bread quality. The results showed that BSG from barley malt beers had higher protein and lower carbohydrate content compared to barley/wheat malt BSG. The addition of BSG affected the water absorption, development time, and stability of the dough. The prediction of bread-making performance showed that the quality of breads made with BP and control flour was as expected, while breads made with W and IPA scored lower due to lower stability. The significance of this study lies in understanding how the composition of BSG and beer style can influence bread quality. Overall, the study is rated 7 out of 10 in terms of importance.
