here is an increasing interest in development of functional bakery products having therapeutic value
other than nutrition. In present study, partially hydrolyzed guar gum (1e5%) was added to wheat flour to
study its effect on dough rheology and bread quality. The effects of PHGG level along with varying water
level in the bread dough were studied on bread crumb firmness, specific loaf volume and overall sensory
acceptability of bread. The results of the study revealed that partially hydrolyzed guar gum increased the
total dietary fiber content of bread to 3.78%. Hence, partially hydrolyzed guar gum can be utilized for
dietary fiber fortification of bread with improved textural property and with equivalent sensory
acceptability as compared to control bread.
