Avaliação da qualidade do pão francês de massa congelada com diferentes combinações de melhorador de farinha de trigo

Abstract

The growth in the number of bakeries and the increase in the consumption of bread has contributed to new investments in this sector, such as the frozen bread market, which is on the rise. This new trend is attracting the attention of bakeries, allowing greater practicality, standardization of the product, cost reduction and increase in the shelf life of the dough. The mass freezing effect can be minimized through the use of better wheat flour and ingredients used, making it possible to improve the quality of the final product through its application. The present work sought to evaluate five formulations, being a standard, the French type of frozen dough, changing the content of the best flour; content of mixtures of enzymes (glucose oxidase - Gox, alpha amylase, phospholipase and hemicellulase), emulsifiers and oxidants, observing an interaction of these, in order to obtain breads within the quality standards; specific volume, shape, lash opening, loss of mass and bread yield. As a result, with the exception of the F5 or control application (F2, F3 and F4), which concentrate more flour oxidizing agents (ascorbic acid, ADA), emulsifiers (Datem and SSL) and enzymes (alpha amylase and gox) resulting in a greater specific volume of bread, being classified as very large, as well as the standard pattern. The lash opening was around 50 mm for all formulations, except for F2, which may have been influenced by the concentration of enzymes. For the shape of the loaves, all are spherical. There was no statistical difference in water loss and yield. It can be concluded that the breads selected from the four frozen pasta formulations studied include satisfactory values, in general, in relation to the recommended parameters, compared to the standard standard. In this way, a company has new formulations that can replace the best commercial. However, the adoption of the F5 application was suggested, due to the better specified volume.
