ABSTRACT

Baladi bread is a staple food in Egypt and high nutritive value however, stales rapidly. The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of pullulan and hydrocolloid combinations on rheological properties and quality parameters of wheat-soy baladi bread. Pullulan polysaccharides (Pu) and hydrocolloids as Arabic gum (AG), K-carrageenan (KC), pectin (P), and xanthan gum (XG) were applied. Rheological properties of samples included Pu and hydrocolloids were analyzed through extensiograph and farinograph. The crust color, staling, and sensory attributes of bread were evaluated. Results revealed that wheat flour (WF) has lower water absorption capacity, dough development time, mixing tolerance index, and resistance to extension however, has higher dough stability, extensibility, and dough energy compared to wheat-soy flour (WSF). Pu and/or hydrocolloids addition to WSF dough evidently improved bread quality. Pu was significantly enhanced crust color and yielded fresher bread relative to control. Additionally, Pu showed the highest Alkaline Water Retention Capacity (AWRC) value after 5 days at 25°C ± 2°C. Results demonstrated that hydrocolloids especially pullulan can significantly improve dough properties, baking quality, sensory acceptability, and delay staling of wheat-soy baladi bread.
