Viscoelastic properties of the dough samples were determined by small deformation dynamic oscillatory measurements performed in a Paar Physica rheometer model MCR301 (Anton Paar GmbH, Austria), using a geometry of parallel plates (50 mm diameter, 2 mm gap), with peltier temperature
control. Immediately after kneading, an aliquot of the dough was placed on the rheometer’s lower plate, previously conditioned at 25 C.
