Amylolytic activity inhibition of low Falling number flours Boris Kovač, R&D department, Food industry Mlinotest d.d. Ajdovščina, Slovenia Zagreb, 11. 5. 2013
The problem • Sprout damage • undesirable start of germination process of wheat kernels • occurs on mature, unharvested wheat • In wet field conditions, just prior to and during the harvest. • Result: • Formation and activation of a-amilases and other enzymes • Many thousant tons of crop looses • Quality problems in bakeries
Determination of wheat and/or flour quality, determination of enzymatic activity • direct • determination of a-amylase activity, • indirect • “amylograph” analysis • determination of Falling Number (FN) Internationally standardized • (ICC 107/1, ISO 3093-2004, AACC 56-81B)
What should be done ? • Amylases inactivation? • Many possibilities: • Amylase inhibitors: • Inorganic: various salts • Organic: protein inhibitors • many organic inhibitors • bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) amylase inhibitor • The goal of our study: beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) extract supplementation to flours with different FN and evaluation of baking caracteristics
Results: previous study • Table 1: Correlation between FN and concentration of the extract of different types of pulses as flour supplement.
Results:(low initial FN flours) Table 2: Correlation between final FN (when adding 10% Top Crop extract) and initial FN value of the tested flour.
Results: (high initial FN flours) Correlation of Crop extract addition and final FN value of tested flours (high initial FN flours)
Results: Influence on rheological properties of dough (Brabender farinograph, ICC method no.115/1) No supplement 0% bean flour 3,5% bean flour
Results: organoleptic evaluation Increasing the bean flour in bread mixture results in: • improved “pleasant taste • incresing freshness of the bread • decresing final volume of bread
Conclusions • bean extract (Phaseolus vulgaris) addition improves FN status of wheat fluor, • Rheological tests indicate that adition of exstract results in increased water absorption, shortest dough development and decreased dough stability, • Organoleptic results demonstrate positive corellation between added amount of bean flour and freshness of bread.
