Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of ${\beta}$-glucan on rheological properties of flour dough and quality characteristics of white pan bread. Flour dough and white pan bread fortified with ${\beta}$-glucans at levels of 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% w/w. Farinograph and amylograph were analysed for the rheological properties. Loaf volume and specific loaf volume, moisture content, texture and sensory evaluation were also analysed for the quality characteristics. In the farinograph test, water absorption and dough development time of doughs increased with increasing ${\beta}$-glucan content. Especially, water absorption of dough fortified with 9% of ${\beta}$-glucan showed 13% higher than the control. However, the addition of ${\beta}$-glucan to the dough decreased stability. There were no significant differences on gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity temperature regardless of ${\beta}$-glucan contents, but maximum viscosity increased with increasing ${\beta}$-glucan contents. Loaf volume and specific loaf volume of white pan bread decreased slightly with increasing ${\beta}$-glucan contents. Moisture content showed higher value in tests than that of the control, and the one added with 6% revealed highest moisture content. In terms of texture analysis, the one added with 6% of ${\beta}$-glucan revealed softer than the others. There were no differences between the groups added with 3% and with 6% on sensory evaluation, but the one added with 9% obtained lowest scores. As a result of this study, 6% of ${\beta}$-glucan is considered the resonable level to prepare healthy white pan bread. ${\beta}$-glucan can also be used when making cake and cookies.
미생물 발효로 제조한 ${\beta}$-glucan을 밀가루의 3, 6, 9%를 대체 첨가하여 반죽의 물리적 특성으로 farinograph, amylograph를 분석하였고, 제빵에 미치는 영향으로 식빵의 부피 및 비용적, 수분함량, 조직감, 관능검사 등을 분석하였다. Farinograph에서 ${\beta}$-glucan 첨가량이 많을수록 흡수율이 높았고 특히 9% 첨가구는 대조구에 비하여 13% 정도 높았다. 첨가량이 많아짐에 따라 반죽형성시간도 증가하였으나 안정도는 감소하였다. Amylograph 분석에서 첨가량에 관계없이 호화온도와 최고점도온도에는 영향이 없었으나 최고점도는 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 식빵의 부피와 비용적은 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 수분함량은 시험구들이 대조구보다 높았고 6% 첨가구에서 가장 높았다. 식빵의 조직감도 6% 첨가구가 가장 부드러운 것으로 나타났고, 관능검사의 전체적 품질에서 3%와 6% 첨가구는 대조구와 유의적 차이가 없었으나 9% 첨가구는 대조구보다 낮은 점수를 얻었다. 따라서 건강 기능성 식빵을 제조하는데 미생물 발효로 얻은 ${\beta}$-glucan을 6%까지는 첨가가 가능한 것으로 나타났고 향 후 케이크나 쿠키 등에도 응용이 가능하리라 생각된다.
