In this study we investigated the effects of guar, xanthan and combination of them with amylase and lipase enzymes on the quality and stability of fresh and PBF Barbari breads.
The frozen storage showed significant effects on the specific volume, porosity, moisture content, crumb hardness, sensory properties and bread color.
The addition of gums and enzymes to bread recipe improves the crumb texture of the bread obtained from part-baking, frozen storage and rebaking.
In addition, the presence of guar and interactive with amylase and lipase also increased the specific volume and the overall quality of the product during long frozen storage, removing the negative effects of that process conditions.
Conversely, the xanthan is not an appropriate improver for interrupted baking process in frozen storage of Barbari bread.
