K. Rathna et S. Neelakantan, EFFECT OF INCORPORATION OF PUFFED BENGALGRAM FLOUR ON THE QUALITY OF BREAD, Journal of Food Science and Technology, 32(2), 1995, pp. 169-171
Puffed Bengalgram flour was substituted at 5 to 25% levels in bread fo
rmula. As the level of puffed Bengalgram flour increased, dough stabil
ity and mixing tolerance index decreased. Substitution beyond 20% resu
lted in a progressive decrease in loaf volume and deterioration in cru
mb grain as well as texture. Addition of potassium bromate was found t
o be an effective improver. Puffed Bengalgram flour-substituted bread
could be Stored well upto 4 days in polyethylene bags.
