Abstract
Currently, the use of enzyme grain improvers in flour milling is a promising direction for improving the quality of flour and finished bakery products. In this paper, the influence of the technological auxiliary means (FA) "IORDAN 3", used in the cooling of wheat grains, on the process of staling bread made from flour of the highest grade, is investigated. A comparative analysis of two samples was carried out: the control (from flour without fuel elements treatment) and the experimental (from flour obtained from grain processed by fuel elements "JORDAN 3"). The staling of bread was assessed 72 hours after baking using synchronous thermal analysis (STA 449 F3) by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results of the study showed that flour obtained using fuel assemblies "IORDAN 3" has improved water-retaining properties. In the experimental bread sample, the bound moisture content turned out to be 2.8% higher than in the control, which indicates a slowdown in the staling process. Thermal analysis revealed three main endothermic effects corresponding to the removal of free and bound moisture in various temperature ranges. A more uniform distribution of moisture was observed in the test sample, which reduces the rate of starch retrogradation and prolongs the freshness of bread. Thus, the use of fuel assemblies "IORDAN 3" in the preparation of grain for grinding allows not only to improve the quality of flour, but also to increase the consumer properties of bread by slowing down the staling process. The data obtained confirm the effectiveness of using enzyme improvers in the flour and bakery industries to increase the shelf life of products without loss of quality.
