Ba´rcenas, Haros, Benedito, and Rosell (2003) studied the effect of freezing and frozen storage on the staling of partially baked wheat bread. The authors evaluated the amylopectin behavior by differential scanning calorimetry simulating the baking process, and hardness increase in the wheat loaf crumb during frozen storage was measured in a Texture Analyser TA-XT2i. A progressive significant increase of the crumb hardness was observed and was more evident beyond 14 days of frozen storage.
