By-products of fruit, cereal and vegetable processing are often regarded as waste while they contain significant amounts of dietary fibre and phytochemicals that can positively contribute to the human diet when reused as food ingredient. The application of fibre from by-products in baked goods could increase the sustainability of the processing chain but is usually associated with changes in product characteristics, such as lower volume, denser structure and increased hardness. In the current study, the interactions of fibres from by-products and wheat macromolecules were analysed in muffins, starch slurries and wheat doughs. The three selected fibres differed significantly in their chemical composition and technofunctional properties. In muffins wheat flour replacement by apple fibre was assessed by rheological measurements of batter and determination of product characteristics. Water proportion adaption based on batter viscosity to create isoviscosity was evaluated as a promising method to develop muffins with satisfying characteristics, where a wheat flour replacement of 30 % is suggested. The addition of apple fibre influenced starch gelatinisation in muffins during baking as indicated by the results of pasting experiments and in vitro starch digestion. Starch slurries with apple and wheat fibre were analysed in pasting experiments. Soluble dietary fibre, mainly pectin, strongly influenced the pasting profile of wheat starch, in comparison to insoluble dietary fibre, that acted as an inert filler and did not interact with the starch. Wheat doughs with fibre from by-products were analysed for rheology, texture and microstructure. The gluten development was negatively influenced by the fibres, which resulted in less extensible doughs. Soluble dietary fibre resulted in increased dough stickiness and limited dough handling at high application levels. It can be reasoned that dough with 10% fibre from by-products would produce products with satisfying characteristics, whereas higher application levels cannot be recommended without using additives to increase the gluten strength. Fibres from by-products are suitable wheat flour replacers in bakery products, where the negative effects of the high water binding capacity of the fibre, can be partly balanced by water proportion adaption, especially in products were gluten development is not that dominating for product structure, like in muffins or cakes. / Nebenprodukte der Obst-, Getreide- und Gemüseverarbeitung werden oft als Abfall betrachtet, wobei sie signifikante Gehalte an Ballaststoffen und sekundären Pflanzeninhaltsstoffen aufweisen, und bei der Verwendung als Lebensmittelzutat positiv zur menschlichen Ernährung beitragen können. Die Anwendung von Fasern aus Nebenprodukten in Backwaren könnte die Nachhaltigkeit der Verarbeitungskette erhöhen, ist jedoch mit Änderungen der Produkteigenschaften verbunden, wie verringertes Volumen, dichtere Struktur und erhöhte Härte. In der vorliegenden Studie wurden die Wechselwirkungen von Fasern und Weizenmakromolekülen in Muffins, Stärkesuspensionen und Weizenteigen analysiert, wobei sich die drei ausgewählten Fasern in ihrer chemischen Zusammensetzung und ihren technofunktionellen Eigenschaften unterschieden. In Muffins wurde die Mehlsubstitution durch Apfelfaser anhand von Teigrheologie und Produkteigenschaften analysiert. Die Anpassung des Wassergehaltes basierend auf der Teigviskosität wurde als vielversprechende Methode zur Entwicklung von Muffins mit akzeptablen Eigenschaften bewertet, wodurch ein Mehlersatz von 30% möglich war. Die Zugabe von Apfelfasern beeinflusste die Stärkeverkleisterung in Muffins, wie durch die Ergebnisse von Verkleisterungsexperimenten und In vitro-Stärkeverdauung gezeigt wurde. Stärkesuspensionen mit Apfel- und Weizenfasern wurden auf ihr Verkleisterungsverhalten analysiert. Lösliche Ballaststoffe beeinflussten das Verkleisterungsprofil von Weizenstärke im Vergleich zu unlöslichen Ballaststoffen, die als inerter Füllstoff fungierten und nicht mit der Stärke in Wechselwirkung traten. Weizenteige mit Fasern wurden auf Rheologie, Textur und Mikrostruktur untersucht. Die Glutenentwicklung wurde durch die Fasern negativ beeinflusst, was zu weniger dehnbaren Teigen führte. Lösliche Ballaststoffe führten zu einer erhöhten Teigklebrigkeit. Weizenteig mit 10% Faser besitzt zufriedenstellenden Eigenschaften, während höhere Fasermengen nicht zu empfehlen sind, ohne Zusatzstoffe, um die Glutenfestigkeit zu erhöhen. Fasern aus Nebenprodukten sind geeignet als Mehlersatz in Backwaren, wobei die negativen Auswirkungen der hohen Wasserbindekapazität der Faser teilweise durch Wasseranpassung ausgeglichen werden können, insbesondere in Produkten, bei denen die Glutenentwicklung nicht die Produktstruktur dominiert, wie in Muffins oder Kuchen.

Introduktion: Potatisfibern utgör ca 1 % av potatisens vikt och är en restprodukt vid tillverkningen av potatisstärkelse. Idag tillsätter flera välkända livsmedelsföretag potatisfiber i sina produkter. Den främsta anledningen till detta är för att fibern kan binda vätska 7–12 gånger sin egen vikt vilket kan ge en ekonomisk fördel. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att jämföra hur grovmalen respektive finmalen potatisfiber påverkar utvalda egenskaper i degen och brödet med särskilt fokus på brödets lagringsstabilitet. Metod: Pilottester Observationer av degegenskaper Mätning av vätskeförlust och brödvolym Instrumentell färgmätning med en kolorimeter Sensorisk bedömning av lagringsstabilitet   Resultat: Pilottester av båda malningsgraderna av potatisfibern visade att vid en jämförelse av olika förbehandlingar så som skållning, blötläggning och tillsats direkt i degen, gav direkt tillsats av potatisfiber i degen flest fördelar, främst gällande mjukheten i degen. Vid observationen fanns en synlig färgskillnad mellan bröden med tillsatts potatisfiber och referensbrödet men detta säkerställdes inte vid den instrumentella färgmätningen. Brödens volym och vattenhållande förmåga påverkades inte av tillsats av potatisfiber. Den sensoriska bedömningen visade en upplevd torrhetskänsla för bröd med tillsatt potatisfiber (båda malningsgraderna) när det testades mot ett referensbröd. Den finmalda fibern påverkade lagringsstabiliteten mer än den grovmalda fibern gjorde.   Slutsats: Malningsgraden gav inga märkbara skillnader på de utvalda deg- och brödegenskaperna. Potatisfiber hade inte tillräckligt stor påverkan på deg eller bröd för att antas vara lönsam att tillsätta vid brödbakning. / Introduction: The potato fiber constitutes about 1 % of the weight of the potato and is a residual product in the manufacture of potato starch. Today, several well-known companies add potato fiber to their products. The main reason for this is because the fiber can bind liquid 7–12 times its own weight, which gives an economic advantage. Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate how the grind of potato fiber affects selected characteristics in dough and bread, with particularly focus on the storage stability of the bread. Method: Pilot tests Observations of dough characteristics Measure of water exchange and bread volume Instrumental color measurement with a colorimeter Sensory evaluation of storage stability   Results: Pilot tests with both grinds of potato fiber showed that when comparing pre-treatments such as scalding, soaking and direct addition into the dough, a direct addition resulted with the most advantages, mainly regarding the softness of the dough. During the observations there was a visible difference in color between the potato fiber loaves and the reference loaf, which was not ensured in the instrumental color measurement. The volume and water retention in the bread was not affected by an addition of potato fiber. The sensory evaluation showed a perceived dryness for bread with added potato fiber (both grinds), when tested against a reference bread. The finely ground fiber affected the storage stability more than the coarse grounded fiber did. Conclusion: The grind gave no notable differences on the selected properties of dough and bread. The impact that grind had on dough characteristics and the finished bread were small.

O amido resistente de milho (ARM) não é digerido em humanos fornecendo benefícios para a saúde tais como redução do colesterol, do índice glicêmico e fermentação no cólon. Porém, a substituição parcial de farinha de trigo (FT) por ARM em massa de pão resulta na diluição do glúten prejudicando a qualidade do produto. Massa de pão foi produzida com 12,5 g/100g de ARM e os efeitos das enzimas glicose-oxidase (Gox), tranglutaminase (TG) e xilanase (HE) na massa foram estudados. Massa produzida sem ARM e sem enzimas foi considerada padrão e massa produzida com ARM e sem enzimas foi considerada controle para comparação. Uma metodologia foi desenvolvida para medir o torque durante o amassamento em grande escala, utilizando um reômetro dinâmico adaptado. As propriedades reológicas foram avaliadas nos testes de medidas descritivas de textura, adesividade Chen-Hoseney, extensão uniaxial Kieffer, extensão biaxial e testes oscilatórios em reômetro. Pão produzido de acordo com as formulações padrão, controle e ótima foi avaliado com relação ao volume específico (VEP), firmeza do miolo, cor e análise sensorial para o atributo preferência. As três enzimas testadas influenciaram positivamente o torque máximo atingido durante o amassamento que variou entre (8,36 e 9,38) N m. Gox e TG apresentaram efeito positivo na altura máxima desenvolvida pela massa medida em reofermentógrafo enquanto que o efeito da HE foi negativo. Uma formulação com ARM e enzimas apresentou desempenho de panificação similar a massa padrão (altura máxima ajustada igual a (45,5 ± 3,9) mm), correspondente a adição de (4, 2,5 e 0,5) mg/100g de TG, Gox e HE respectivamente (ótima). A formulação ótima apresentou adesividade, trabalho de adesão, coesividade, dureza, resiliência, resistência à extensão e extensibilidade similares a massa padrão e diferentes da massa controle. As enzimas aumentaram o índice de strain hardening reduzido pela adição de ARM. Para o pão de forma, o VEP variou entre (3,16 e 3,64) cm3/g (diferença não significativa) e o pão produzido com a formulação ótima foi o mais escolhido como preferido. Durante o armazenamento por até 7 dias, o ARM diminuiu a taxa de envelhecimento do pão enquanto que as enzimas apresentaram efeito oposto. Em geral, a substituição parcial de FT por ARM reduziu a elasticidade da massa diminuindo a qualidade do pão enquanto que as enzimas minimizaram esse efeito. / Resistant starch (RS) is not digested by humans providing benefits for health such as reduction of blood LDL cholesterol levels, reduction of post-prandial blood glucose and fermentation in the colon. However, partial replacement of wheat flour (WF) with RS prejudices bread quality due to gluten dilution. Dough was formulated with 12.5 g/100g of RS and the effects of the enzymes glucose-oxidase (Gox), tranglutaminase (TG) and xylanase (HE) were studied. Dough produced without RS or enzymes was considered as regular and dough produced with RS and without enzymes was considered as control for comparison. A methodology was developed to measure torque during dough mixing in large scale using a dynamic rheometer. With respect to dough rheology, tests performed included texture profile analysis, Chen-Hoseney stickiness, Kieffer uniaxial extension, biaxial extension and oscillatory tests in rheometer. Bread was produced from regular, control and optimum formulations and the quality was assessed concerning specific volume, firmness, color and preference by sensory panel. The three enzymes tested influenced positively the maximum torque during mixing which varied between (8.36 and 9.38) N m. Gox and TG showed positive effects on the maximum height developed by dough measured in rheofermentometer while HE showed a negative one. A formulation with RS and baking performance similar to regular dough was found (adjusted maximum height equal to (45.5 ± 3.9) mm), corresponding to (4, 2.5 and 0.5) mg/100g of TG, Gox and HE respectively (optimum). The optimum formulation showed stickiness, work of adhesion, cohesiveness, hardness, resilience, resistance to extension and extensibility, similar to the regular dough and statistically different from control dough. Strain hardening index was reduced by the addition of RS and increased by the addition of enzymes. Regarding bread tests, specific volume of bread varied between (3.16 e 3.64) cm3/g (not significant difference) and the bread produced with theoptimum dough was the most preferred by the sensory panel. During 7 days of storage, RS reduced the aging rate while enzymes had the opposite effect. In general, WF replacement by RS reduced dough elasticity affecting the bread quality while enzymes helped minimizing this effect.

<p>Prema najnovijim istraživanjima modifikovanim skrobovima može se pripisati jo&scaron; jedna uloga &ndash; aditivi u pekarstvu, s obzirom da utiču na pobolj&scaron;anje kvaliteta hleba i<br />usporavaju proces starenja. Međutim, prema saznanjima autora ove disertacije, ne<br />postoje istraživanja na temu uticaja emulgujućih skrobova (skrob-natrijum<br />oktenilsukcinata, OSA skrobova) na kvalitet testa i hleba od p&scaron;eničnog bra&scaron;na.<br />Uzimajući u obzir činjenicu da druge vrste modifikovanih skrobova ispoljavaju dobre<br />osobine u smislu pobolj&scaron;anja kvaliteta hleba i da je OSA skrob nutritivno vredna<br />sirovina, s obzirom da se u organiznu pona&scaron;a kao prehrambeno vlakno, od velike je<br />važnosti ispitati ulogu OSA skroba kao aditiva u pekarstvu.<br />Međutim, usled kompleksne prirode testa kao sistema, bilo je te&scaron;ko odrediti relativni<br />uticaj pojedinačnih komponenti (proteina, p&scaron;eničnog skroba, OSA skroba) i njihovih<br />međusobnih interakcija na osobine testa. Stoga je, u cilju rasvetljavanja uticaja različitih OSA skrobova na viskoelastične osobine testa i retrogradaciju skrobne komponente (fenomen povezan sa starenjem hleba), p&scaron;enično bra&scaron;no frakcionisano na gluten i skrob, i vr&scaron;ena su ispitivanja strukturnih, reolo&scaron;kih i termičkih osobina hidratisanog glutena i skrobnih gelova sa dodatkom OSA skroba. Takođe su pripremani i model sistemi testa.<br />Ispitivanja na realnim sistemima (testo i hleb) izvođena su zamenom 2,5; 5 i 10%<br />p&scaron;eničnog bra&scaron;na, jednim od tri vrste OSA skroba: skrob-natrijum oktenilsukcinatom<br />(OSA-ST), preželatiniziranim skrob-natrijum oktenilsukcinatom (Pregel OSA-ST) i<br />hidrolizovanim su&scaron;enim u spreju skrob-natrijum oktenilsukcinatom (Hydrol OSA-ST).<br />Cilj je bio da se ispita uticaj dodatka OSA skrobova na strukturu testa (SEM), empirijske (miksolab, alveograf i reofermentometar) i fundamentalne (oscilatorna merenja i testovi puzanja i deformacije) reolo&scaron;ke osobine, kao i parametre kvaliteta hleba (specifična zapremina, boja kore i sredine hleba, vlaga sredine hleba, parametri raspodele veličine pora i tekstura sredine). Pored pomenutog, praćena je i promena kvaliteta hleba tokom skladi&scaron;tenja, kako bi se dobio uvid u kinetiku starenja hleba.<br />Rezultati dobijeni u ovoj disertaciji ukazali su da reolo&scaron;ko pona&scaron;anje testa sa dodatkom OSA skrobova zavisi od strukture skrobnih granula, tj. od stepena dezintegracije i depolimerizacije granule tokom procesa modifikacije. Stoga je dodatak OSA-ST doveo do ojačavanja glutenske mreže &scaron;to se odrazilo na porast modula elastičnosti i testa i glutena. Nasuprot tome, Pregel and Hydrol OSA-ST uticali su na kontinualnost glutenske mreže koja je u njihovom prisustvu bila poroznija, a time su i dobijena testa bila mek&scaron;a i rastegljivija. Istraživanja na realnim i model sistemima (p&scaron;enični skrob sa dodatkom OSA skroba) ukazala su da sva tri OSA skroba usporavaju retrogradaciju p&scaron;eničnog skroba. Takođe je dokazano da svi ispitivani emulgujući skrobovi povećavaju specifičnu zapreminu hleba u poređenju sa kontrolnim, pri čemu je Pregel OSA ispoljio najjači efekat. To se odrazilo i na strukturne osobine sredine hleba, a posledično i na mehaničke osobine sredine, čija promena je praćena u cilju određivanja kinetike starenja hleba. Prema dobijenim rezultatima, vrednosti čvrstoće sredine hleba koji je sadržao OSA-ST i Pregel OSA-ST su i nakon 24 h bile slične ili značajno niže od vrednosti čvrstoće kontrolnog uzorka određene 2 h nakon pečenja.</p> / <p>Recent studies have demonstrated that modified starches can be used as novel additives in breadmaking since they improve bread quality and retard stalling. However, up to the author&#39;s knowledge, there are no investigations concerning the influence of emulsifying starches (starch sodium octenyl succinates - OSA starches) on wheat flour dough and bread quality. Taking into account the fact that other modified starches have exhibited significant bread improving properties and that OSA starch has special nutritional value since it can act as functional fibre, it is of a great importance to investigate the feasibility of OSA starch as bread improver.<br />However, due to the complex nature of dough, it was difficult to determine the relative contributions of protein, native and modified starch components and their interactions on dough properties. Therefore, in order to resolve the influence of different OSA starches on dough viscoelastic properties and starch retrogradation (the phenomenon related to bread stalling), wheat flour was fractionated into gluten and starch; and the structural, rheological and thermal behaviour of the hydrated gluten samples and starch gels supplemented with emulsifying starches was also studied. Dough model systems were also prepared.<br />Experiments on real systems (dough and bread) were performed by incorporating<br />starch sodium octenyl succinate (OSA-ST), pregelatinized OSA starch (Pregel OSA-ST) and hydrolysed spray-dried OSA starch (Hydrol OSA-ST) at 2.5, 5 and 10 % into wheat flour. The aim was to investigate the effect of incorporating OSA starches on dough structural (SEM imaging), empirical (Mixolab, Alveograph, Rheofermentometre) and fundamental (oscillatory and creep measurements) rheological properties as well as bread quality parameters (specific loaf volume, crust and crumb colour, crumb moisture, crumb grain features, crumb texture). In addition, the bread quality attributes during storage were also monitored in order to get insight into bread stalling kinetics.<br />The results obtained in this thesis revealed that the rheological behaviour of OSA starch supplemented dough depended on the OSA starch granule rigidity, i.e. extent of OSA starch granule disintegration and polysaccharide degradation during modification. OSA-ST starch caused a reinforcement of the gluten network, as shown by the increase in storage modulus of doughs and gluten. On contrary, Pregel and Hydrol OSA-ST affected the continuity of gluten network which became porous and thus produced softer and stickier doughs in comparison to control. Investigations on real dough and model systems containing wheat and OSA starches revealed that all three types of OSA starches reduced starch retrogradation.<br />In general, all the examined emulsifying starches increased bread loaf volume in comparison to control bread with no added polymers, while Pregel OSA starch has expressed the greatest impact. It also reflected on bread crumb structural features and consequently on the crumb mechanical properties which were used for bread stalling monitoring. Firmness values of OSA-ST and Pregel OSA-ST starch supplemented bread crumbs, after 24 h of storage, were similar to or significantly lower than those of control determined 2 h after baking.</p>

<p>Predmet doktorske disertacije obuhvata izbor ambalažnog materijala i uslova pakovanja, pakovanje tradicionalnog pekarskog proizvoda pite sa sirom, kao i očuvanje proizvoda tokom skladi&scaron;tenja.<br />Polupečene pite sa sirom su proizvedene i pakovane u petoslojne i sedmoslojne polimerne kese, pri atmosferskim i u uslovima modifikovane atmosfere pakovanja, sa dodatkom i bez dodatka sakupljača kiseonika. Nakon pakovanja, pite su skladi&scaron;tene i ispitivane po sledećoj dinamici: 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 i 16 nedelja skladi&scaron;tenja. Izvr&scaron;ena su ispitivanja ambalažnih materijala i ambalaže, kao i upakovanog proizvoda. Tokom ispitivanja ambalažnih materijala i ambalaže određivana su: fizičko-hemijska i strukturna svojstva ambalažnih materijala, barijerna svojstva ambalaže, koncentracija gasova u ambalaži i kvalitet formiranih varova. Ispitivanja upakovanog proizvoda su se odnosila na: fizičko-hemijska svojstva pite sa sirom, senzorska svojstva pite sa sirom i mikrobiolo&scaron;ka ispitivanja pite sa sirom.<br />Primenjeni ambalažni materijali su pokazali odgovarajuća fizičko, mehanička i strukturna svojstva. Takođe, oba ambalažna materijala pokazuju dobre barijerne karakteristike na ispitivane gasove. Izračunavanjem ukupne zapremine kiseonika koja može biti propu&scaron;tena kroz ambalažu tokom skladi&scaron;tenja je utvrđeno da je upotreba sakupljača kiseonika od 100 ml dovoljna da omogući skladi&scaron;tenje pite sa sirom, pakovane u obe vrste ambalaže, u vremenskom periodu od 122 dana (16 nedelja), bez promene koncentracije kiseonika veće od 1%. Analizom koncentracije gasova u ambalaži je utvrđeno da su najmanje oscilacije merenih gasova tokom skladi&scaron;tenja pokazali uzorci pakovani u petoslojne, kao i sedmoslojne kese, u atmosferi vazduha sa dodatkom sakupljača kiseonika. Fizičko-hemijska svojstva (kiselinski stepen, peroksidni broj, sadržaj vlage, aw vrednost) uzoraka pita sa sirom su se menjala tokom skladi&scaron;tenja, zavisno od vrste ambalaže i uslova pakovanja. Period skladi&scaron;tenja utiče na senzorski kvalitet proizvedenih pita sa sirom. Nakon 16 nedelja skladi&scaron;tenja pita sa sirom upakovanih usa sirom kese od petoslojnog i sedmoslojnog ambalažnog materijala, u atmosferskim uslovima, sa dodatkom sakupljača kiseonika, ne dolazi do promena ukupnog broja kvasaca i plesni.<br />Na osnovu ciljeva doktorske disertacije, izvr&scaron;enih ispitivanja i postignutih rezultata, može se zaklučiti da su predloženi ambalažni materijali, kao i uslovi pakovanja doprineli produženju održivosti tradicionalnog pekarskog proizvoda - pite sa sirom.<br />Primenom barijernih ambalažnih materijala, kombinovanjem atmosferskih uslova pakovanja i sakupljača kiseonika, moguće je skladi&scaron;titi pite sa sirom u dužem periodu.</p> / <p>The subject of doctoral thesis includes the selection of packaging material and packaging conditions, packaging of traditional bakery product phyllo dough pastry with cheese, as well as the preservation of the product during the storage period. Partially baked phyllo dough pastry with cheese have been produced and packed into five and seventh layer polymeric bags, by using atmospheric and modified atmospheric packaging conditions, with and without the addition of the oxygen scavengers. After the packaging, phyllo dough pastries have been stored, and the dynamics of researches has been referred to: 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 week of storing.<br />Researches of packaging material and the product of packaging have been conducted. Examination of packaging material includes: physicochemical and structural properties, barrier properties, concentration of gases inside the packaging and the quality of welds. Examination of the product of packaging includes: physicochemical properties, sensorial properties and microbiological properties of the phyllo dough with cheese.<br />Applied packaging materials have shown an adequate physical, mechanical and structural performances. Furthermore, both packaging materials have shown good barrier characteristics against examined gases. By the calculation of total oxygen volume, which might penetrate throughout packaging materials during storing period, it can be concluded that the application of 100 ml oxygen scavenger is sufficient to provide the storing of phyllo dough pastry, packed in both packaging materials, during a period of 122 days (16 weeks) without oxygen concentration changes higher than 1%. The analysis of gas concentration in packaging has shown that the smallest oscillations of gas concentration during the storage have been determined inside the packaging of five and seven layer packaging material, in air conditions by using oxygen scavengers.<br />Physicochemical performances (acid number, peroxide value, moisture content and aw value) of the samples vary depending on the packaging material and the packaging conditions, during the storage period. The storage period affects the sensorial quality of phyllo dough pastries. After sixteen weeks of storage, phyllo dough pastry with cheese, packed into five and seven layer packaging material, in air atmosphere, with the addition of oxygen scavenger, did not show the increase of the total number of yeasts and molds.<br />Based on the goals, conducted research and results obtained, it might be concluded that suggested packaging materials, as well as the packaging conditions contribute to the additional sustainability of traditional bakery product - phyllo dough pastry with cheese. By the application of barrier packaging material, and combining the atmosphere packaging conditions and the oxygen scavenger it is possible to store phyllo dough pastry for a longer period.</p>

Pour mettre en relation les propriétés rhéologiques et la structure méso/microscopique d'un système modèle ou complexe, l'utilisation de la rhéo-optique est indispensable. Nous avons donc développé une cellule d'observation sous cisaillement adaptée à la microscopie confocale. Ce dispositif, breveté et nommé RheOptiCAD®, permet le cisaillement contrôlé d'un échantillon quelconque placé entre 2 plans parallèles en translation. Grâce à un système à dépression, la mise en place de l'échantillon est simple et rapide tout en assurant des propriétés optiques répétables et reproductibles (planéité, parallélisme). Par ailleurs, la température au sein de l'échantillon peut être régulée de façon à imposer une contrainte thermique, cause de nombreuses modifications de la mésostructure d'un système alimentaire. La cellule d'observation sous cisaillement permet donc de suivre l'évolution et la dynamique des changements de structures conséquences d'un traitement thermo-mécanique imposé. Un logiciel de pilotage et d'acquisition des données a été développé pour rendre son utilisation plus conviviale. La validation du fonctionnement de l'outil et de ses fonctionnalités a tout d'abord été réalisée sans échantillon puis à l'aide d'un système modèle contenant des particules fluorescentes dont le mouvement était suivi. Par la suite, dans le but de tester les potentialités de ce nouvel outil tout en développant la méthodologie de son utilisation, et en particulier l'équilibre entre propriétés optiques et mécaniques des échantillons, nous avons travaillé avec de la pâte de farine. Ce système alimentaire bien connu et maîtrisé d'un point de vue rhéologique au laboratoire présente des caractéristiques intéressantes dans ce cadre. L'évolution du réseau de gluten au cours d'un cisaillement oscillatoire en fonction de la formulation de la pâte a été étudiée. Grâce à une analyse d'image basée sur la morphologie mathématique, nous avons pu mettre en évidence des changements de structures au cours du temps. De même, à l'aide des capacités thermiques de la cellule de cisaillement, nous avons étudié le positionnement et le mouvement des lipides endogènes à l'interface air-protéine lors de la fermentation. Notre cellule d'observation sous cisaillement constitue donc un nouvel outil de caractérisation dynamique de systèmes complexes couplant rhéologie et microscopie. Son optimisation principale réside dans la mise en place d'un capteur de force, mesurant les contraintes mises en jeu lors des déformations imposées. / Rheo-optic is a recent technique which can be used to create links between rheological properties and meso/microsctructures of model or complex (food) systems. A novel rheo-optical shearing device was designed for studying this relationships within complex food systems. The device has been build to be adapted on an inverted confocal microscope. Specifications of the shear cell are: a) a controlled translational shear between 2 parallel plates with three different motion modes (continuous, oscillatory, strain jump); b) a thermal control; and c) an observation on an inverted confocal microscope. Due to a vacuum system, the set up of an experiment is easy and fast ensuring reproducible optical properties (planarity, parallelism). Temperature, responsible of numerous modifications of structures in a food matrix, is also controlled. A piloting software allows an easy use of the shear cell. Validation of the motion modes has been carried out using a microgel, containing fluorescent probes (spheres) and tracking some of the particles. Next, in order to test and develop methods of observation under shear, taking into account the optical-mechanical balance, bread dough observation has been performed. Well known and described in the lab, bread dough is a dispersion of air bubbles and starch granules in a gluten network. Evolution on this gluten network depending on the formulation of the bread dough has been studied under oscillatory shearing. The composition effect on the microstructure and its evolution were observed and will be commented. Image analysis based on grayscale mathematical morphology has been carried out in order to try to quantify the rheological properties and microstructures. Finally, by a controlled increase of temperature, the growth of an air bubble in bread dough containing yeast was followed during proofing. The influence and the disposition of fat globules at the bubble air-protein interface along this growing process were followed. Thanks to the rheo-optical device, images of microstructures obtained under controlled shear are compared to their rheological behaviour.

A formulation with RS and baking performance similar to regular dough was found (adjusted maximum height equal to (45.5 ± 3.9) mm), corresponding to (4, 2.5 and 0.5) mg/100g of TG, Gox and HE respectively (optimum). The optimum formulation showed stickiness, work of adhesion, cohesiveness, hardness, resilience, resistance to extension and extensibility, similar to the regular dough and statistically different from control dough. Strain hardening index was reduced by the addition of RS and increased by the addition of enzymes. Regarding bread tests, specific volume of bread varied between (3.16 e 3.64) cm3/g (not significant difference) and the bread produced with theoptimum dough was the most preferred by the sensory panel. During 7 days of storage, RS reduced the aging rate while enzymes had the opposite effect. In general, WF replacement by RS reduced dough elasticity affecting the bread quality while enzymes helped minimizing this effect.

L'extraction du gluten et de l'amidon de la farine de blé est un procédé en pleine expansion avec le renchérissement des usages non-alimentaires de ces deux produits. Ce procédé repose sur l'aptitude des protéines du blé à former un réseau au cours du malaxage de suspensions farine / eau. Une difficulté majeure auquel ce procédé est confronté est la variabilité de cette aptitude selon la farine. L'enjeu de notre étude est de faire émerger les critères de composition des farines qui déterminent leur comportement dans le procédé amidonnier et de proposer des conduites du procédé adaptées. L'étude s'appuie sur un panel de 40 farines provenant de différents génotypes de blés dont on a déterminé la composition biochimique. On utilise un mélangeur planétaire (P600) couplé à une station de contrôle de la vitesse de mélange et instrumenté en couple et température pour développer le réseau de gluten (Plastographe, Brabender). Les essais sont réalisés à 25°C, pour des vitesses variables (50-110 rpm) et des teneurs en eau contrastées (rapports eau/farine de 70 à 120 g/g). Une relation reliant la durée de développement du réseau de gluten à la puissance de mélange a d'abord été établie. Cette relation fait apparaître deux paramètres propres aux farines, la quantité d'énergie et la puissance de mélange minimale pour développer le gluten. Ces paramètres sont fortement associés au locus glu-1D et à la teneur en protéines polymériques non extractibles au SDS. Par ailleurs, l'inclusion de temps d'arrêt dans le procédé et l'étude des effets d'agents chimiques interférant avec les fonctions thiols nous permet d'affirmer que la mise en place du réseau de gluten obéit successivement à un contrôle temporel puis énergétique. Dans la mesure où la viscosité des suspensions impacte également le procédé, une équation prédictive de celle-ci a été réalisée. Elle prend en compte les teneurs en amidon endommagé et en arabinoxylanes solubles, dans des proportions variables selon la teneur en eau de la pâte. Le rendement en gluten s'est enfin révélé sensible uniquement à la teneur en protéine, pour autant que l'extraction soit réalisée à l'atteinte de l'optimum de développement du réseau. De façon à disposer d'outils prédictifs faciles à mettre en œuvre industriellement, on a évalué les performances de plusieurs tests de qualité d'usage des farines (Farinographe, Alvéographe) et d'un mélangeur récemment développé (Gluten Peak Tester, Brabender). On montre qu'il est possible d'accéder à la plupart des paramètres définis dans ce travail à l'aide de cet appareil. Cette étude fournit ainsi un ensemble de relations pour contrôler le procédé et l'adapter à la farine utilisée. / Gluten and starch extraction out of wheat flour is a developing process due to the growing use of these two products for non-alimentary uses. This process is based on wheat protein abilities to form a network when flour and water are mixed. A difficulty that this process has to face is the variability of this ability among flours. The scope of our work is to determine the flour components that determine their behaviour in the gluten/starch separation process and to propose adapted process control.This study is based on a pool of 40 flours from various wheat genotypes and known biochemical composition. A planetary mixer (P600) coupled with a station controlling mixing speed and measuring torque has been used to develop gluten network (Plastograph, Brabender). Tests were performed at 25°C for varying mixing speeds (50-110 rpm) and contrasted dough water contents (water/flour ratio varying from 70 to 120g/g). A relation predicting mixing duration for network formation according to mixing power has been established. From this relation two parameters characterising flours have been isolated, energy demand and minimum mixing power to develop gluten network. Theses parameters are strongly linked with locus glu-1D and to SDS-unextractable polymeric protein content (UPP) in the flour. Besides, the inclusion of mixing stops in the process and the study of the effects of thiol-interfering chemical reactant has demonstrated that gluten development inclusing successively a temporal and an energetic phenomenon.As dough viscosity also strongly impacts process, a predictive equation of viscosity has been determined. Viscosity is obtained from the calculated effects of damaged starch and soluble arabinoxylans contents, varying with dough water content. Finally, it was whown that gluten extraction yield depends only of flour protein content when extraction is performed out of optimally developped dough,.In order to get tools applicable industrially, the predictive performance of two devices measuring flour quality (Farinograph, Alveograph) and of a novel mixer (Gluten Peak Tester, Brabender) was evaluated. Most of the relevant parameters defined in this work could be obtained out of that novel apparatus. This study hence gives relations to control the process and adapt it to the flour.

Arabinoxylans (AX’s) are the predominant non-starch polysaccharides found in the structural matrix of cell walls in wheat grains, being present in large quantities in wheat bran, accounting for up to 25% of its composition. Their physicochemical properties define their functionality which can be beneficial in cereal-based products such as bread, where their addition could enhance the gluten matrix responsible for the aerated structure and quality of bread. Bioethanol production has grown rapidly, however, to be economically viable, cereal-derived first generation biorefineries need to adopt the process integration approaches employed in petrochemical refineries, and exploit the interaction opportunities arising from multiple product streams. A potential source of AX is its extraction from the wheat bran based low value animal feed produced as an end product of the bioethanol distillation process. The benefits of extraction are twofold, to enhance feed nutritional value by reducing fibre content and produce a high value product for use as a functional ingredient in the breadmaking industry. Extraction of AX involves precipitation with ethanol, giving opportunity for integration and economic extraction in the context of a bioethanol plant. Currently no commercial supply of AX is available in sufficient quantities to conduct functionality trials; therefore the objective of the current work was to study the feasibility of extracting AX from animal feed and, by developing a scaled-up extraction process based on that of Hollmann and Lindhauer (2005) and Du et al. (2009), to produce sufficient quantities to conduct functionality trials into its effects on the breadmaking process. Two animal feeds, representative of contrasting biorefinery operations, were used for AX extraction, Distillers’ Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) and C*Traffordgold®, with water and alkaline AX being extracted from each. Monosaccharide analysis of the feedstocks confirmed the presence of arabinoxylans, with DDGS containing 12.5% AX and TG 13% AX, with A/X ratios of 0.55 and 0.61, respectively. The purity of AX extracted at both lab scale and on scale up was consistent, with 29.5% and 23% extracted at lab scale and 30% and 25% extracted in the scaled up process for WEAX from DDGS and TG, respectively. The purity of AEAX was lower, with 18% and 14% at lab scale and 15% and 14% for scale up for DDGS and TG, respectively. The results indicate that the same purity of crude extract can be achieved at both lab and larger scale extraction, however lower yields and absolute yields were observed at scale up and anticipated to be due to the crude nature of the process, which needs further optimisation. Addition of crude AX extracts to bread dough gave insights into its effects and potential benefits and issues. The type and origin of AX was found to affect bread dough characteristics in different ways. WEAX from both DDGS and TG exhibited effects on all stages of the breadmaking process, by improving stability and reducing softening at mixing, and slowing proving allowing the dough to retain a better aerated structure, leading to an open aerated finished loaf structure. AEAX from both types of animal feed generally caused destabilization of gas cells and coalescence, resulting in loaves with a tighter crumb structure. The AX dosage appeared to have a non-linear effect, with some positive changes at 1% addition turning to negative changes when added at 2%. This work has provided insights into the functionality of AX in bread dough, and a process has been developed to allow greater than lab scale production of arabinoxylan. The effects of AX need to be understood more clearly to retain beneficial effects, whilst supressing detrimental ones, preferably while avoiding the need for extensive purification. The work supports the possibility for AX extracts to be produced commercially as bread ingredients that could enhance bread structure and nutritional quality, and provides an elegant solution for synergy between two wheat-based industries serving both the food and non-food needs of society.
