In all dough samples the elastic modulus (G') was higher than the viscous modulus (G"), indicating that the doughs had a solid,elastic-like behaviour. Dough made with 6% of ginger powder showed statistically significant differences in terms of G', G" and G* compared to the other samples. Generally, a higher G' and a lower tan & indicate a more elastic and solid-like material (Peressini & Sensidoni, 2009).
