3.1.2. Available glucose in the raw materials
EWF and PGS presented a higher content of available glucose than
CWF after 20 and 40min incubation (Fig. 2). This was expected because,
as was observed in the microscopic images, the starch granules of these
ingredients were ruptured. Therefore, their long chain molecules were more exposed to enzyme attack. At 20 min after incubation, PGS
showed higher available glucose content than EWF, which was also expected
due to the presence of some starch granules in EWF for which
disruption was not so intensive. For all the raw materials used, there
was an increase in the amount of available glucose after 40 min of
enzyme incubation. However, the difference observed for available
glucose content from EWF and PGS after 20 min was not observed
after 40 min. Therefore, after 40 min of incubation, there may not be
a difference in glucose supply from these two raw materials to the
dough.
