The cohesiveness, which quantifies the internal resistance or
cohesion of food structure, significantly increased in the breads
made with fine flour. The effect of water was only significant with
70% and 90% hydration, with the cohesiveness decreasing in parallel
to the increase of the water content in formulation. In fact,
cohesiveness showed a high significant correlation with the bread
moisture content (r = 0.9008; P 6 0.001).
