Cereal Chemistry Editor's Pick: European Scientists Demonstrate the Impact of Supplements on Competition for Oxygen Among Oxidative Systems During Bread Dough Mixing
|
 The effect on O2 uptake during the mixing of yeasted dough, either unsupplemented or supplemented with glucose oxidase, horsebean flour, soybean flour, or combinations thereof, was studied using an airtight mixer. Two wheat flours with a low, and a high, content of free polyunsaturated fatty acids were used. The results indicate a competition among yeast, glucose oxidase, and lipoxygenases for the O2 uptake by dough. This competition for O2 consequently also modifies the rheological properties of dough. |
