Effect of mechanically damaged starch from wheat flour on the quality
of frozen dough and steamed bread
For the most part, non-fermented frozen dough is used in industrial
baking. However, pre-fermented frozen dough has some
advantages in terms of reduced need for yeast viability after frozen
storage, less time-consuming production after freezing and less
expensive equipment needed for on-site baking (Huang et al.,
2011). Only a few studies have been carried out to study the characteristics
of frozen dough, and to the best of our knowledge there
are no reports published on comparisons of non-fermented frozen
dough with pre-fermented frozen dough and no reports of how the
properties of these doughs are affected by DS. Which kind of frozen
dough is suitable for steamed bread is also needed to be studied in
detail. To address this need, we sought to evaluate the effects of DS
levels on the quality of frozen dough and steamed bread and determine
the optimal type of frozen dough for steamed bread.
