The primary goal of this study was to improve the technological functionality of germinated wheat flour by incorporating pentosanase (Pn) and glucose oxidase (Gox) enzymes, with particular emphasis on the evolutionary changes in its components. The inclusion of Gox did not produce any substantial impact on the volumetric characteristics of the steamed bread. The incorporation of Pn and Gox has been seen to enhance the overall excellence of steamed bread by optimizing loaf volume and textural characteristics while also improving the thermal stability of the dough. The existence of two endothermic peaks could be attributed to bound water or alterations in the granules within the starch crystallization region. Adding Pn and Gox reduced and increased the formation and stability time of the dough, respectively. A certain ratio was employed to assess alternations in the crystallinity of starch granules over a limited range. After steaming, a significant decrease in <em>IR</em><sub>1047/1022</sub> was observed, indicating that the elevated temperature partially disrupted the internal starch crystal structure, leading to a gelatinization reaction with water. The ratio of tensile resistance (<em>R</em>) and elongation (<em>E</em>) of dough increased significantly compared to the control.

DAGs are recognized as functional cooking oils, they can suppress body fat accumulation and postprandial serum triacylglycerols (TAGs) level. The traditional production of MAGs and DAGs is based on the chemical method, which requires high reaction temperature usually up to 200–260 °C.

Moreover, the sustainability of using wheat flour in baked foods is threatened by its high cost, especially in countries that depend on imported wheat for their bakery industry. Research has shown that hydrocolloids serve as gluten replacements in baked foods, in response to these challenges. Food hydrocolloids are a class of high-molecular weight polysaccharides and proteins, which serve as functional ingredients in the food industry that modify the foods' rheological and textural properties. They function as stabilizers, viscosity modifiers, gelling agents, water binders, fibres, and inhibitors of ice crystal in foods. Further, food hydrocolloids have also been reported to possess health-promoting properties, such as lowering of postprandial blood glucose and plasma cholesterol concentrations, colon cancer prevention, and modulation of intestinal transit and satiety. They are obtained from plants, animals or microorganisms, and can be used in their natural or modified forms. The aim of this paper is to review the functional benefits of natural and modified hydrocolloids as gluten replacements in baked foods, emphasizing their physicochemical, nutraceutical, and sensorial importance.
