ABSTRACT
The study focused on the influence of starch modified by octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) on the rheological and thermal properties of gluten-free dough containing corn and potato starch with the addition of pectin and guar gum as structure-forming substances. The starch blend used in the original dough recipe was partially (5% to 15%) replaced with OSA starch. The rheological properties of dough samples were determined, and the properties of the resulting bread were analyzed. It was found that the dough samples behaved as weak gels, and the values of storage and loss moduli (G' and Gâ³, respectively) significantly depended on angular frequency. Various shares of OSA starch in recipes modified dough in different ways, causing changes in its rheological characteristics. The introduction of OSA starch preparations resulted in changes in the bread volume and physical characteristics of the crumb. All the applied preparations caused an increase in bread porosity and the number of pores larger than 5 mm, and there was a parallel decrease in pore density. The presence of OSA starch preparations modified bread texture depending on the amount and type of the applied preparation. The introduction of OSA starches in gluten-free bread formulation caused a significant drop in the enthalpy of retrograded amylopectin decomposition, indicating a beneficial influence of such type of additive on staling retardation in gluten-free bread.

BACKGROUND: Fruit mousses are products with a relatively low amount of dietary fiber in a single portion, but with additional portions of soluble fiber they may be good alternative to fiber-rich snacks as take-away food. In the present study, the properties of new soluble dextrin fiber (SDexF) from potato starch were assessed to establish whether it could be used to enrich fruit mousses. The properties of SDexF that can affect processing and storage stability of enriched mousses were studied and compared with those of native potato starch and semiproducts (resulting from various drying temperatures). The effect of the addition of SDexF on the pasting properties of mousse was also analyzed. RESULTS: The application of food-grade hydrochloric and citric acids as catalysts in the dextrinization of food-grade potato starch allowed to SDexF to be obtained. Despite the differences in characteristics of the semiproducts, the final SDexF preparations were very similar in the meaning of solubility, dextrose equivalent (DE), retrogradation, and pasting properties. SDexF preparations were characterized by a significantly lower retrogradation tendency, peak viscosity, final viscosity, and gelatinization enthalpy in comparison with both native starch and semiproducts. Soluble dextrin fiber was successfully added to banana-apple mousse. The addition of SDexF to mousse did not cause any undesirable changes to the viscosity of the product, and surprisingly even resulted in mousse with lower viscosity. Turbidity and RVA studies revealed that SDexF was stable and retrogradation processes can be negligible during storage. CONCLUSION: The SDexF obtained from potato starch can be a novel functional substance to increase the dietary fiber content of fruit or fruit and vegetable mousses. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
