Aplicação de extratos vegetais fontes de compostos fenólicos no processamento de pães de forma

Abstract

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The bread became, throughout its history, a major food worldwide, and the enrichment of flour making the functional bread has become a practice of recent times. The grape marc Isabel, green tea (Camellia sinensis) and yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) are sources of phenolic compounds of considerable value. Popularly, have been studied for offering health benefits, in order to prevent degenerative diseases and for bringing benefits to bakery industries. This study aimed to the addition of Isabel grape pomace extracts, green tea (Camellia sinensis) and yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis), rich in phenolic compounds wheat flour, to evaluate the effect on the rheology of flour, features technological and sensory. METHODS: To study the effect of phenolic compounds extracted from grape pulp Isabel, green tea (Camellia sinensis) and yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) on some properties of wheat flour and bread so it was standardized concentrations of the extracts in flour 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 mg GAE / kg and used the method of physical-chemical, rheological and sensory, and the extract: Quantification of compounds; In flour: Moisture, alveography, farinography, falling number and gluten; In the bread: Specific volume, colorimetry and sensory analysis (taste, aroma, texture and overall acceptability). MAIN RESULTS: The yerba mate extract (Ilex paraguariensis) had the highest concentration of phenolic compound, followed respectively by marc Isabel and green tea (Camellia sinensis). All rheological tests with flour grape pomace extract application (EBU) showed improvements in the characteristics desired for baking, as evidenced by the increased gluten strength and water absorption, with a flour with increased tolerance to mechanical stress (stress). The yerba mate extract showed good results when applied in baking, confirmed by the increase in specific volume, the closest color control (white pith) and preferably in the global acceptance of the sensory test attribute. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The observed differences in rheological properties, physicochemical and sensory in flours and breads made with grape pomace extracts Isabel, green tea (Camellia sinensis) and yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) in different dosages, are attributed to interactions by different mechanisms between phenolic compounds and proteins, and those forming the gluten network, directly influencing the strength of flour and gas retention capacity by increasing the volume of the bread.
