Abstract
Since bread is a basic food item in the diet of many people around the world, its nutritional value needs to be increased. In present study, the potential of Vitex agnus-castus powder to enrich bread was investigated. For this aim, V. agnus-castus powder was substituted with wheat flour at the levels of 0, 5, 10, 15 %. Effects of V. agnus-castus powder on the rheological characteristics of bread dough, color, proximate composition, antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, texture and sensory characteristics of breads were investigated. V. agnus-castus increased the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity, as well as fat, crude fiber and ash content of bread samples significantly (p < 0.05). Breads containing 15 % V. agnus-castus powder had the highest inhibition (21.58 ± 1.03 %), ABTS+ (215.61 ± 0.58 mg/100 g), total phenolic content (986.22 ± 1.69 mg GAE/100 g DW), fat (2.22 ± 0.09 %) crude fiber (11.10 ± 0.25 %), and ash content. According to the results of sensory analysis, bread samples including 5 % V. agnus-castus powder had higher scores than control samples. V. agnus-castus could improve sensory and nutritional properties of bread.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science is a peer-reviewed journal that explicitly focuses on the interface of food science and gastronomy. Articles focusing only on food science will not be considered. This journal equally encourages both scientists and chefs to publish original scientific papers, review articles and original culinary works. We seek articles with clear evidence of this interaction. From a scientific perspective, this publication aims to become the home for research from the whole community of food science and gastronomy.
IJGFS explores all aspects related to the growing field of the interaction of gastronomy and food science, in areas such as food chemistry, food technology and culinary techniques, food microbiology, genetics, sensory science, neuroscience, psychology, culinary concepts, culinary trends, and gastronomic experience (all the elements that contribute to the appreciation and enjoyment of the meal. Also relevant is research on science-based educational programs in gastronomy, anthropology, gastronomic history and food sociology. All these areas of knowledge are crucial to gastronomy, as they contribute to a better understanding of this broad term and its practical implications for science and society.
