Dough mixing, processing and baking were performed on laboratory-scale equipment. Durum wheat bread formulated
without yellow pepper flour was used as first reference sample (CTRL S); while a second reference sample consisted of durum wheat bread with the addition of no-hydrated yellow pepper flour (CTRL P). The breadmaking process parameters and the ingredients amount were chosen according to a well-defined recipe followed by the same authors in a previous study (Mastromatteo, Danza, Guida, & Del Nobile, 2012a, 2012b).
