Dietary fiber (DF) is indigestible polysaccharides and lignin in food. In human, DFbenefits health in these ways: to help prevent constipation and colon cancer, to lower serumcholesterol, and to improve body’s handling of blood glucose. Steamed bread is one ofstaple foods in Taiwan. DF intake will be increasing when fiber-enriched steamed bread isconsumed. The objective of this study is to investigate that the effects of transglutaminase(TGase) on the quality of fiber-enriched steamed bread. Results showed that TGaseincreased the resistance in extension (R) of dough and decreased the extensibility (E).Stress relaxation data of the steamed bread fitted well by Peleg-Normand model. Either k1or k2 parameter of the steamed bread with 1.0-1.5% TGase were significantly higher thanthat of control bread. However, lower %SR was found in 1.5% TGase-treated steamedbread. Therefore, the addition of TGase leads to the increase in elasticity of thefiber-enriched steamed bread. The steamed breads with 0.5-1.0% TGase had higher specificvolume than control bread. The hardness of 2.0% TGase-treated steamed bread was higherthan that of control. Moreover the cohesiveness of 1.0-2.0% TGase-treated steamed breadswas higher than that of control. The study suggests that fiber-enriched steamed bread withbetter quality can be produced by using 1.0-1.5% TGase. |
