Abstract
Frozen dough often faces freeze-thaw cycles (FT) caused by temperature fluctuations during production, transportation, and processing. The mechanism of guar gum's effect on dough improvement is explored by the freeze-thaw dough model in this study. The reducing sugar content was increased at 0.3 %, 0.6 %, and 0.9 % in FT0 and FT8 treatment, while decreased at 1.2 % guar gum, the content decreased at 0.9 and 1.2 % guar gum in FT4; the production of glycerol was increased at 0.6 % to 1.2 % groups in FT0, increased at 0.3 % to 1.2 % groups in FT4, increased at 0.3 % and 0.9 % groups in FT8, the content of glutathione in the dough was reduced in groups with guar gum. The maximum fermentation height, the dough's total CO2 production, and holding gas production were at 0.6 % guar gum in FT0 and FT8. The highest content of gluten was at 0.6 % in FT4 and FT8. Guar gum addition inhibited the depolymerization of proteins, prevented the protein structure from transforming to a disordered structure, improved the structural integrity of proteins, and increased the development of disulfide bonds and glutenin macropolymers. In conclusion, 0.6 % performed best within the tested conditions.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
