P. Forssell et al., EFFECTS OF NATIVE AND ENZYMATICALLY HYDROLYZED SOYA AND OAT LECITHINSIN STARCH PHASE-TRANSITIONS AND BREAD BAKING, Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 76(1), 1998, pp. 31-38
The effects of oat and soya lecithins and their hydrolysates on crysta
llisation of wheat starch gel and on bread structure were studied. In
baking studies the lecithins were compared with commonly used commerci
al emulsifiers. Soya lecithin hydrolysate retarded starch gel crystall
isation and bread staling as effectively as the best commercial emulsi
fiers. The oat lecithins were interesting. They did not affect signifi
cantly the starch gel crystallisation but both of them retarded bread
staling much more effectively than the soya lecithin. Oat lecithins we
re as good as the commercial Amidan indicating that glycolipids in oat
lecithins slowed bread staling. (C) 1998 SCI.
