2.4. Physical and technological evaluation of the bread added chia
(S. hispanica L.) flour or seeds
2.4.1. Loss of mass upon baking
The physical property of the masses of the uncooked dough and
the bread were determined. The loss of mass upon baking (% LM)
was calculated according to Equation (2).
where Mdough corresponds to the mass of the dough and Mbread
corresponds to the mass of the bread.
2.4.2. Specific volume and total score
The technological evaluation of the loaves included the specific
volume (SV) and the total scores assigned using the second worksheet of El-Dash (1978), with a maximum value of 100 points.
The SV (cm3/g) was obtained from the ratio between the apparent
volume (cm3), using the millet seeds offset according to Pizzinatto
et al. (1993) and the mass (g) after baking.
