Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy has emerged as a fast, reliable, non-invasive and sensitive method to determine the distribution, localization and reactivity of labelled ingredients in micro-heterogeneous systems. However, the commercially available probe molecules are very limited. In the present work, five new nitroxide [(4-hydroxy-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl (TEMPOL)] derivatives (1b-5b) of diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides (DATEM) (1a-5a), a widely used food emulsifier, were synthesized under Steglich conditions and characterized by MS (mass-spectrometry), FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), EPR, NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy), fluorescence spectroscopy, and DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) analysis. Phase partitioning studies proved that the new spin labels are adequately capable of describing the localizations and partitioning of the corresponding DATEM in multi-phase systems. Findings disclosed in this work will provide new knowledge on ingredient reactivity and localization in multi-phase systems; which is vital to aid the design of more efficient delivery systems for bioactive compounds.

Rice bran (RB) is a good source of dietary fibre. Addition of rice bran into croissant interferes with the gluten formation of dough and hence affect the physicochemical properties of croissant. The effect of RB addition on physicochemical properties of croissant were determined by using 0%, 10% and 15% RB. Besides, additives such as emulsifiers and enzymes can be used in pastry to enhance the physicochemical properties of croissant. Diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono-diglycerides (DATEM) and transglutaminase (TGase) were used respectively on 0%, 10% and 15% RB to investigate the effect of such additives on physicochemical properties of croissant. Increased % RB and DATEM, produced a significant decrease in specific volume, together with a significant increase in colour, hardness and chewiness. With increased % RB, TGase caused significant increase in colour, hardness and chewiness but significant decrease in specic volume. The overall moisture sorption isotherm curves of the croissant belong to the Type III isotherm, also known as Flory-Huggins Isotherm (J-shaped). The critical aw obtained from the Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) equation showed that the shelf life of croissants were not positively impacted by the addition of DATEM and TGase and the addition of RB did not cause any significant positive effects on quality characteristics of croissants.

Hydrophobicity was introduced in the structure of guar gum (GG) by esterification with n-octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA), forming GG-OSA. This modification was evaluated by FTIR. Maximum degree of substitution of 0.025 was achieved by reacting GG with 0.4 mol OSA/mol of repeating unit of GG at 100 °C for 5 h using 0.5 equivalence of NaHCO3. This GG-OSA, with the introduced partial hydrophobicity, was evaluated for its effect on bread staling and glycaemic index (GI), primarily in comparison to diacetyl tartaric and fatty acid esters of glycerol (DATEM) and GG, respectively. GG-OSA demonstrated potential bread dough strengthening ability by improving its cohesiveness and hardness. On day 4, X-ray diffraction studies on bread containing GG-OSA at 2.5 g/kg (4.10%) indicated crystallinity closer to that containing DATEM at 4 g/kg (4.24%) and lower than control (6.86%) and GG (5.26%). This was corroborated with day 4 crumb firmness for breads containing GG-OSA (18.29 N) and DATEM (19.92 N). The GI of control bread was higher than experimental samples, although there was no statistically significant difference between samples containing the additives chosen in this study. Thus GG-OSA could be used as an effective anti-staling agent in bread.

The present study was aimed at investigating the effect of ionic and non-ionic emulsifiers at 3 different levels of 0.15, 0.30 and 0.45% per 100 g of flour on the physico-chemical properties, microstructure and water distribution of fish-meat based fried snacks. The results showed that the addition of distilled mono-glycerides (DMG) decreased the strength of the starch–protein network which resulted in increased expansion and decreased water holding capacity (WHC). The addition of diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono-glycerides (DATEM) increased the WHC and the ordered structure between starch and proteins while oil uptake was decreased. Pasting properties such as breakdown, peak viscosity and pasting temperatures were increased with the addition of DATEM compared to DMG and the control indicating the strong interaction among DATEM, starch and proteins. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that DATEM strengthened the starch–protein matrix and the dense and rigid microstructure with fewer voids while DMG increased the intercellular spaces between the molecules of starch and proteins. Low field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) relaxometry analysis revealed that the amount of free water (T21) was decreased and that of bound water (T23) was increased in DATEM samples indicating the strong interaction between emulsifiers and macromolecules compared to the control and DMG. Moreover, protein in vitro digestibility was also increased with the addition of DATEM. The findings suggested that 0.30% DATEM can be used in snacks with improved physico-chemical and functional properties.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydrocolloids and/or emulsifiers on the shelf-life of composite cassava-maize-wheat (ratio 40: 10: 50) reference bread during storage. Added hydrocolloids were carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and high methoxyl pectin (HM pectin) at a 3% level (w/w) and/or the emulsifiers diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides (DATEM), lecithin (LC), and monoglycerides (MG) at a 0.3% level (w/w). After 4 days of storage, composite breads with MG had comparatively lower crumb moisture while crumb density was similar in all breads. The reference bread crumb firmness was 33.4 N, which was reduced with an addition of DATEM (23.0 N), MG (29.8 N), CMC (24.6 N) or HM pectin (22.4 N). However, the CMC/DATEM, CMC/LC, and HM pectin/DATEM combinations further reduced crumb firmness to < 20.0 N. The melting peak temperature was increased from 52 degrees C to between 53.0 degrees C and 57.0 degrees C with added hydrocolloids and/or emulsifiers. The melting enthalpy of the retrograded amylopectin was lower in composite bread with hydrocolloids and emulsifiers, 6.7-11.0 J/g compared to 20.0 J/g for the reference bread. These results show that emulsifiers in combination with-hydrocolloids can improve the quality and extend the shelf-life of composite cassava-maize-wheat breads.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of two emulsifiers, sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL) and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono and diglycerides (DATEM) on the physical and textural characteristics of gluten-free (GF) cheese bread and the influence they have during storage. DATEM and SSL in percentages of 0.5 and 1.0 were added based on the amount of cheese in the formula. The dough behaved as a viscoelastic solid, adjusting itself to a model consisting of three Maxwell elements with a spring in parallel. The results indicate that emulsifiers had no significant effect on dough rheology. The emulsifiers affected the physical and textural characteristics of GF cheese bread. The height, diameter and specific volume of the samples decreased with higher concentrations of emulsifiers in the formula, while the yield and crumb hardness increased. Crust fracture and crumb hardness of samples increased during storage, thus the emulsifiers did not control product aging. Practical Applications Large-scale production and the rise in consumers that demand good-quality GF products have brought about the need to use food additives, such as emulsifiers, which are used as antiaging agents in bakery products by increasing their shelf life. Few studies have been carried out into the use of emulsifiers in GF products. For this reason, it is considered of great importance to evaluate the effect that these additives have on GF cheese bread, which is made by blending mainly sour cassava starch, water or milk, cheese, salt, sugar and fat. This product has a large market in South America and could be an alternative for celiac patients in that region.

In this study, chia seed flour (CSF) was used in gluten-free noodle formulation at different levels (0, 10, 20 and 30%, w/w) with and without diacetyl tartaric esters of mono (and di) glycerides (DATEM). Chemical, nutritional, sensory properties and cooking quality of gluten-free noodle samples were investigated. Protein, fat, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of gluten-free noodles increased by 1.7, 5.5, 2.6 and 2.0 times at 30% usage level of CSF as compared to control sample. Phytic acid and phytate phosphorus content increased from 168.30 mg/100 g and 47.46 mg/100 g to 1057.69 mg/100 g and 298.27 mg/100 g, respectively with CSF usage. Increase of CSF level in gluten-free noodle samples caused an expected increase in the amounts of Ca, P, K, Mg, Fe and Zn. Noodle samples containing CSF showed darker colour than control. Significant increase was observed in volume increase and weight increase values with CSF addition. DATEM reduced cooking loss values of noodle samples. The use of CSF improved the gluten-free noodles taste and odor score. As a result, 20% of CSF with DATEM can be used in gluten-free noodle formulation with acceptable sensory attributes of raw and cooked samples. The present results showed that CSF had a good potential to improve the nutritional quality of noodle.

A consumer test of composite cassava:maize:wheat (40:10:50) breads prepared with improvers, 0.3% emulsifiers, either as lecithin (LC) or diacetyl tartaric ester of mono-diglycerides (DATEM), and 3% hydrocolloids, either as high-methylated pectin (HM pectin) or carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), was carried out in supermarkets in Mozambique. Overall acceptance and sensory attributes such as appearance, texture, smell, flavour, and crumb and crust colour were evaluated, and the consumption pattern and purchase intent were determined using a structured questionnaire. Composite bread quality characteristics, such as specific volume, crust colour, moisture content and firmness, were assessed instrumentally. The consumers’ overall acceptance of the composite bread with a mixture of roasted and sundried cassava flours and added HM pectin and LC had a score of 7.58, which was slightly higher than 7.28 for the composite bread with roasted cassava flour. The hedonic test showed that the perceived overall quality of the optimized composite bread based on roasted cassava flour with CMC and DATEM had a score of 7.47, which was significantly higher than the corresponding bread with HM pectin and LC (7.01), but not significantly different from commercial wheat bread (7.82). Crust colour and crumb colour and firmness correlated highly with their perceived sensorial counterpart properties.

Effects of some enzymes (transglutaminase; TG and glucosoxidase; GO), emulsifiers (sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate; SSL, diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono and diglycerides; DATEM, and SSL+DATEM combination) and oxidant (ascorbic acid; AA) on the properties of dough and bread made of a wheat flour (WF) and lupin flour (LF) blend were determined. LF replaced with WF at a 15% level in all dough formulation. All additives except TG increased development time and stability of dough containing 15% LF. While the highest dough energy obtained with AA addition, maximum resistance value increased from 217 BU up to 434 BU with TG usage in dough formulation. SSL+DATEM combination gave highest bread volume and lowest crumb hardness at 24 and 72 h. Generally, SSL+DATEM and AA had a more positive effect on symmetry, pore structure and crumb texture of the bread than the other additives. For improvement of the properties bread prepared with WF-LF blend, SSL+DATEM combination as emulsifier and AA as oxidant can be recomme...

Wheat germ (coarse and fine) was replaced with wheat flour at levels of 0, 10, 20 and 30% for cake making. Sodium stearoyl-2 lactylate (SSL) and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono (and di) glyceride (DATEM) were used as emulsifier at 0.5% level. The effects of wheat germ particle size, emulsifier type and wheat germ level on batter and cake quality were investigated. Coarse wheat germ (CWG) usage in cake formulation gave better cake physical properties than fine wheat germ (FWG). SSL provided higher cake volume, texture and pore structure score, and lower hardness to cake samples compared with DATEM. Wheat germ addition (CWG/FWG) increased the ash, protein, fat and mineral contents (Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, P, K and Zn) of the samples. Crust and crumb color of the cake samples were significantly (P

In order to improve processing performance and functionality of wheat flour dough, the influence of emulsifiers including distilled mono-glycerides (DMGs), polysorbate-60 (P60), and diacetyl tartaric esters of mono-glycerides (DATEM) on dough rheological properties and quality of fried instant noodles have been investigated. Farinograph, extensograph, and scanning electron microscopy analysis were conducted to characterize the dough rheological property. The addition of P60 and DATEM in dough strengthened its rheological properties, being indicated by high stability, low degree of softening within 12 min, increase in resistance to extension, and enhancement of extensibility in comparison with the control. The quality of noodle including sensory, water content, degree of gelatinization, and oil content was evaluated. As compared to the control, the oil content in fried instant noodle with the addition of 0.2 g P60/100 g and 0.2 g DATEM/100 g flour reduced 18.3% and 9.9%, respectively; the time of rehydration decreased 25.0% and 12.5%, respectively; and the degree of gelatinization increased 10.2% and 8.1%, respectively. Both P60 and DATEM showed a significant impact on springiness, firmness, and overall acceptability in noodles. The results clearly indicate that dough rheological characteristics and quality of noodles improved with the addition of certain emulsifiers.

The present study investigated the effect of emulsifiers on complexation, pasting, and gelling properties of native and chemically modified white sorghum starches. Chemically modified starches demonstrated better capability to complex with glyceryl monostearate (GMS) compared to diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM) and sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL) due to its non-ionic and hydrophobic nature. The results revealed that addition of emulsifiers to native and modified starches altered both the textural properties and ageing characteristics of starch gels during cold storage. Firmness rate enhanced on addition of emulsifiers to native white sorghum starch (NWSS) whereas it reduced when added to acetylated white sorghum starch (AWSS) and dual modified acetylated-oxidized white sorghum starch (AOWSS). Cold paste viscosities of NWSS, AWSS, and AOWSS were also found to be higher in the presence of emulsifiers. The decline in paste clarity on refrigerated storage was significantly curtailed on incorporation of emulsifiers to NWSS, AWSS, and acid-thinned white sorghum starch (ATWSS) which implies reduction in the rate of retrogradation.

The effect of addition of three commonly used emulsifiers namely GMS (glycerol monostearate), SSL (sodium stearoyl lactylate) and DATEM (diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides) on complexation, thermal, pasting and textural properties of OWSS (oxidized white sorghum starch) was studied. The study is of interest as both oxidized starches and emulsifiers are present as co-ingredients in different food products and thus their complexation could affect the textural characteristics of foods. The complexation index (CI) reduced on oxidation of sorghum starch. The CI for native white sorghum starch (NWSS) was in the order GMS > SSL > DATEM whereas for OWSS, CI was in the order GMS > SSL > DATEM. Presence of emulsifiers significantly reduced gelatinization enthalpies of starches. Types I and II amylose–lipid complexes were observed in NWSS and OWSS on addition of GMS. Pasting temperature of NWSS increased while peak viscosity reduced on addition of SSL and GMS. Cold paste and setback viscosities of OWSS increased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) on addition of emulsifiers. Emulsifiers reduced firmness and rupture strength of NWSS and OWSS gels. Increase in firmness of gels on storage increased in NWSS and decreased in OWSS on addition of emulsifiers. Elasticity of OWSS on cold storage was higher in the presence of SSL and GMS.

The effects of diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides (DATEM), ascorbic acid (AA), urea, and dithiothreitol (DTT) on viscoelastic properties of commercial hard red winter wheat gluten were investigated. A constant shear stress of 40 Pa was applied to gluten during creep-recovery test. Experimental creep-recovery compliance responses were fitted into a Burgers model with four elements accounting for characteristics of pure elastic (spring), viscoelastic (spring-dashpots elements), and viscous flow (dashpot). DATEM decreased the elasticity and viscoelasticity, but increased viscosity of gluten. The addition of AA, urea, and DTT, resulted in opposite rheological properties when compared with DATEM. Relationship among physical properties was also studied with principal component analysis (PCA) including gluten viscoelasticity, dough mixing and baking properties. Regressed coefficients from Burgers model accounted for higher percent of explained variance and were independent from flour content, baking and dough mixing properties.

The effects of emulsifiers as additives on the physical properties of rice cookies were investigated in this study. The amounts of emulsifiers added were 3, 6, and 9% based on 100 g of rice flour. Peak viscosity of rice flour added with diacetyl tartaric ester of monoglyceride (DATEM) showed smaller decreases compared to addition of sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL) or sucrose ester (SE). Hardness of dough as measured by TA increased upon addition of SSL, SE, and DATEM, whereas hardness of cookies increased upon addition of SSL and SE. In contrast, addition of DATEM did not increase hardness of cookies. Density of dough and cookies increased upon addition of SSL and SE, whereas density decreased upon addition of DATEM and spreadability showed the lowest values. From these results, it was confirmed that use of emulsifiers in cookies can control cookie texture. Compared to SSL and SE, DATEM increases hardness of dough and decreases densities of dough and cookies, making it effective in softening the texture of rice cookies.

This study compares three generations of lipase enzymes with the emulsifier, diacetyl tartaric esters of mono-glycerides (DATEM), on white wheat flour bread. Baking recipes with addition of DATEM (4500ppm), Lipopan F-BG (15ppm), Gryndamyl Exel-16 (115ppm), Lipopan Xtra-BG (25ppm) and Lipopan 50-BG (27.5ppm) were test-baked after 60 and 150min fermentations, to study their effects on the baking characteristics of volume, oven rise, crust colour, crumb texture and colour, shelf-life, flavour and aroma. The enzymes and emulsifier preparation caused significant increase in bread oven rise and specific volume with the exception of Lipopan 50-BG, which failed to improve loaf volume in the short fermentation method. There was no significant difference between other lipase enzymes and DATEM as a bread volume improver. Increase in fermentation time resulted in increase in volume in all samples, except for Lipopan-Xtra.

Investigations include the analysis of the impact of commercial products: complex additive (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5%), L-ascorbic acid (0.002, 0.004 and 0.012%), diacetyl ester of tartaric acid with monoglycerides (DATEM E472e, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5%), ?-amylase (0.002, 0.006 and 0.012%), xylanase (0.004, 0.012 and 0.024%), alcohol extract of rosemary, thyme or sage (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0%), as well as the combination of complex additive and rosemary, thyme and sage extract on rheological characteristics of dough. The study includes amylograph, farinograph and extensograph analysis of dough with and without additives (control sample). The volume of lost CO2 gas (mL) is the lowest in dough samples with an added combination of complex additive and thyme extract (0.05 and 0.5%) and rosemary extract (2.0%). In the samples with thyme extract (1.0%) added, the volume of lost gas is at a level of samples with added complex additive, DATEM, and L-ascorbic acid.

BACKGROUD: The diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides (DATEM) is an anionic oil-in-water emulsifier. The effects of DATEM on bread vary with the type of flour. However, there is insufficient information concerning the effects of DATEM on the qualities of Chinese steamed bread (CSB) even though it is also sold as a CSB improver. RESULTS: The effects of DATEM on CSB varied with flours. The overall qualities of CSB made from either weak or strong wheat flours were improved by the use of the additive, but the effects for medium strong flours were slight and uncertain. The effects of DATEM on individual parameters, such as specific volume, skin and inner structure, were similar to those on overall quality. The addition of DATEM increased the gluten strength and the dough stability of weak flour, whereas it weakened gluten strength and strengthened dough stability of strong flour. The addition of DATEM weakened the gluten strength and gave variable effects on dough stabilities for two medium strong flours. CONCLUSION: The effects of DATEM on CSB quality varied with flour type, by affecting flour characteristics, such as gluten strength, dough stability and lipid content.

Diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides (DATEM) is a kind of anionic emulsifier. To date, the positive effect of DATEM on the volume of bread has been reported, but the effects on Chinese steamed bread (CSB) quality and other parameters for bread quality are still unclear. The effects of DATEM on the characteristics of dough and the qualities of CSB and bread were investigated. The results showed that, the effects of DATEM on the rheological properties of dough were complex. Water absorption ratio of CSB dough decreased slightly, while that of bread dough increased slightly. But gas retention and structure improved and gluten strength increased for both CSB and bread doughs after DATEM was added. The studies also showed that structure, elasticity, tenacity, and whiteness of CSB were improved, but specific volume was almost unchanged. The structure, color, and smoothness were significantly improved for bread, and specific volume increased compared with the control. The optimal quantities of...

This review focuses on the effects of freezing storage on the microstructure and baking performance of frozen doughs, and provides an overview of the activities of dough improvers, including emulsifiers, hydrocolloids and other improvers used in frozen dough applications. The overall quality of bread baked from frozen dough deteriorates as the storage of the dough at sub-zero temperatures increases due to several factors which are discussed. Lipid-related emulsifiers such as diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono and diglycerides and sucrose esters employed as anti-staling agents, dough modifiers, shortening sparing agents, and as improvers for the production of high-protein bread have also been employed in frozen doughs. Hydrocolloids are gaining importance in the baking industry as dough improvers due to their ability to induce structural changes in the main components of wheat flour systems during breadmaking steps and bread storage Their effects in frozen doughs is discussed. Other dough improvers, such as ascorbic acid, honey and green tea extract, are also reviewed in the context of frozen doughs.

Doughs made from wheat and almond flours, water, and five types of emulsifiers commonly used in confectionary and bakery products (soy lecithin, sucrose esters, mono-glycerides, mono- and di-glycerides of fatty acids, and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides [DATEM]) were studied. To evaluate the additive ability to retain the fatty fraction during the extrusion process, electrical conductivity was measured and fat loss (%) that occurs during extrusion processing was determined. The electrical conductivity measurements showed that the lower and better concentration of soy lecithin and mixed mono- and di-glycerides of fatty acids to obtain an oil-water emulsion was 0.2 g/100 g of dough, while for sucrose esters and mono-glycerides of fatty acids, it was 0.7 g/100 g of dough. No efficacy for DATEM was observed. The fat loss results showed that sucrose esters were the most suitable emulsifiers for retaining the fatty fraction during extrusion processing, even at a very low amounts (2 g/kg...

Sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglyceride (DATEM), glycerol monostearate (GMS) and distilled glycerol monostearate (DGMS) surfactant gels were made with water and varying shortening contents. The SSL, DGMS, GMS and DATEM gels, with and without shortening in them, were stored for 3, 6, 9 and 15 days and their effects on bread-making quality were studied. All the gels improved the bread-making quality, to varying extents depending on the surfactant. On storage of gels, the improving effect was gradually reduced with increasing time, for all the gels made, with or without shortening. The adverse effect of storage on gels with shortening on bread-making quality was greater than that on gels without shortening and it varied from surfactant to surfactant. The results brought to light the adverse effect of storage of gels in improving the quality of bread.

The effect of protein quality, protein content, bran addition, diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides (DATEM), proving time, and their interaction on hearth bread characteristics were studied by size-exclusion fast protein liquid chromatography, Kieffer dough and gluten extensibility rig, and small-scale baking of hearth loaves. Protein quality influenced size and shape of the hearth loaves positively. Enhanced protein content increased loaf volume and decreased the form ratio of hearth loaves. The effect of protein quality and protein content was dependent on the size-distribution of the proteins in flour, which affected the viscoelastic properties of the dough. Doughs made from flours with strong protein quality can be proved for a longer time and thereby expand more than doughs made from weak protein quality flours. Doughs made from strong protein quality flours tolerated bran addition better than doughs made from weak protein quality flours. Doughs made from high protein content flours were more suited for hearth bread production with bran than doughs made from flours with low protein content. DATEM had small effect on dough properties and hearth loaf characteristics compared with the other factors.

The effect of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) on wheat starch functionality was assessed by determining the pasting properties and the dynamic rheology. The addition of CGTase lowered the peak and final viscosity, increased breakdown and markedly decreased the total setback. The influence of CGTase on the ability of starch to form complex with lipids was explored in the presence of fatty acids (stearic and lauric) and an emulsifier (diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglyceride, DATEM). Further information about the effect of CGTase on the pasting properties of wheat starch was obtained by analysing the first derivative of the viscograph curves. The cyclodextrins formed in the starch as a result of the cyclization activity of the CGTase were quantified and it was observed that α-cyclodextrin occurred in the highest concentration followed by β- and γ-cyclodextrins. The starch obtained with CGTase after pasting exhibited better emulsifying properties as it contained the cyclodextrins. The CGTase treatment also modified the dynamic rheology of the starch slurry leading to a decrease in the elastic and viscous modulus. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry

Sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), diacetyl tartaric acid esters of manoglyceride (DATEM), glycerol monostearate (GMS) and distilled glycerol monostearate (DGMS) surfactant gels were made with water and varying shortening contents. The effect of sufactant gels made with and without shortening on bread making quality of weak, medium strong and strong types of wheat flours (A, B, Cflours) was studied. The volume of bread increased as the protein content increased. Addition of SSL, DGMS. GMS and DATEM gels improved the volume, specific volume, texture, baking quality and overall quality scores, but differences in improvement were observed for flours A, B and C, indicating that the improvement depended on flour quality. Weak flour responded better than medium strong flour and medium strong flour better than strong flour to different surfactant gels. The presence of shortening in the sufactant gels further improved the bread making quality of different types of flours, the improvement response (bread quality increase compared with their respective controls) due to sufactants is caused by the presence of shortening in gels.

The effects of microbial transglutaminase (TGM) on the viscoelastic profile of wheat flour doughs when added singly and in combination with hydrocolloids—hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and a high ester pectin (GENU pectin type BIG, or BIG)—, amylolytic (α-amylase) and non amylolytic enzymes (xylanase) and an emulsifier [diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono-diglycerides (DATEM)] have been investigated by applying response surface analysis to a Draper-Lin small composite design of formulated dough samples. In spite of the major effects on mixing, textural, extensional and viscometric parameters, which were provided by hydrocolloid/surfactant combinations, incorporation of TGM into dough formulas improved some viscoelastic properties. TGM, when added to DATEM and/or HPMC-containing doughs, induced synergistic effects on mixing parameters, resulting in increased water absorption, development time and stability. Highly cohesive doughs with improved water holding capacity and gluten strength during mixing and fermentation, and suitable pasting behaviour during cooking were achieved using TGM/BIG/DATEM mixtures, mainly associated with suitable interactions of the pairs TGM/DATEM and DATEM/BIG.

The effects of protein quality, protein content, ascorbic acid, diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglyc-erides (DATEM), and their interactions on dough rheology and hearth bread properties were studied by size-exclusion fast protein liquid chromatography, Kieffer Dough & Gluten Extensibility Rig, and small-scale baking of hearth loaves. The effect of protein content was either positive or negative on hearth loaf characteristics, form ratio, and area, depending on the amount of the largest glutenin polymers in the flour. Ascorbic acid brought out the potential in the wheat flour known as protein quality. Ascorbic acid and DATEM strengthened the doughs and improved hearth bread characteristics.

Cassava is widely available worldwide but bread quality is impaired when cassava is used in the bread formulation. To overcome this problem, different improvers were tested in the preparation of composite cassava-maize-wheat (CMW) breads. Emulsifiers, diacetyl tartic acid ester of monoglycerides (DATEM), sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), and lecithin (LC); and hydrocolloids, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and high-methylated pectin (HM pectin) were added during dough preparation of the composite flours (cassava-maize-wheat, 40 : 10 : 50). Each emulsifier was tested in combination with the hydrocolloids at levels of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5% while hydrocolloids were used at a level of 3%. Bread quality attributes such as specific loaf volume, crust colour, crumb moisture, and firmness were measured. The specific volume of the fresh breads significantly improved with the addition of hydrocolloids (7.5 and 13%) and in combination with emulsifiers (from 7.9 to 27%) compared with bread produced without improvers. A significant improvement of brownness index and firmness of the composite flours breads was achieved with the addition of hydrocolloids and emulsifiers. The results show that emulsifiers and hydrocolloids can significantly improve the baking quality of CMW breads and thereby enhance the potential for using locally produced flours in bread baking.

Lipopan F and Lecitase Ultra lipases were used in straight dough bread making to study how wheat lipids affect bread loaf volume (LV) and crumb structure setting. Lipase effects on LV were dose and dough piece weight dependent. The bread quality improving mechanisms exerted by endogenous lipids were studied in terms of gluten network strengthening, which indirectly stabilizes gas cells, and in terms of direct interfacial gas cell stabilization. Unlike diacetyl tartaric esters of mono- and diacylglycerols (DATEM, used as control), lipase use did not impact dough extensibility. The effect on dough extensibility was therefore related to its lipid composition at the start of mixing. Both lipases and DATEM strongly increase the levels of polar lipids in dough liquor and their availability for and potential accumulation at gas cell interfaces. Lipases form lysolipids that emulsify other lipids. We speculate that DATEM competes with (endogenous) polar lipids for interacting with gluten proteins.

Dairy ingredients are added to bakery products to increase nutritional and functional properties. Sodium caseinate (SC) and whey protein concentrate (WPC) were incorporated into frozen dough. WPC was subjected to heat treatment (WPCHT) to eliminate undesirable weakening of the gluten network. 2% SC or 4% SC decreased proof time, increased loaf volume, and improved texture. Effects of adding 4% SC on baking quality were similar to adding ascorbic acid (AA) and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides (DATEM). WPC increased proof time, decreased volume, and negatively affected texture. Heat treatment of WPC improved baking performance. Bread with WPCHT had volume similar to that of the control without dairy ingredients. Adding 4% SC decreased resistance to extension (R5cm measured with the extensigraph), while adding 4% WPC increased extensibility. Dynamic oscillation testing determined the effects of the ingredients on fundamental rheological properties. WPC decreased storage modulus (G′) a...

Empirical and fundamental rheology measurements were made on fresh and frozen dough to investigate the effects of freezing, frozen storage, and additives. These results were compared with results of a standard baking test. Four formulations were tested: a control dough, and doughs with additions of 100 ppm of ascorbic acid (AA), 0.5% sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL), and 0.5% diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides (DATEM). Rheological and baking tests were performed on fresh doughs and on doughs after two, five, and eight weeks of frozen storage. Resistance to extension was higher for doughs with additives in fresh and frozen doughs. There was a decrease in resistance to extension due to freezing. Complex modulus in fresh doughs was highest for doughs with SSL. There was a decrease complex modulus after freezing and thawing. In frozen doughs at 10 Hz, doughs with additives had higher complex modulus values and lower phase angle values when compared to the control. The additives used all h...

The objective of this study was to examine treatments that directly influence Norwegian lean doughs destined to be frozen. Therefore a strip-block experimental design with four dough treatment factors (wheat flour blend, diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides [DATEM], water absorption, and dough temperature) and two storage factors (frozen storage time and thawing time) was used. Four levels were selected for frozen storage time and two levels were selected for the remaining factors. After frozen storage (2–70 days), the doughs were thawed and baked. Principal component analysis showed that to obtain a high loaf volume and bread score after freezing, a high dough temperature after mixing (27°C) was essential. The highest form ratio (height/width) level was obtained after 28 days of frozen storage and with a short thawing time (6 hr). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of dough treatments showed that an increase in dough temperature from 20 to 27°C after mixing resulted in a significant increas...

Lipid binding of straight/soured started bread doughs treated with sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), fungal α-amylase and monoglycerides (MGL), diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono-diglycerides (DATEM) and sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL) was investigated and results correlated with dough and bread performance during breadmaking and storage. For doughs formulated with MGL or DATEM, free and bound lipids accounted, respectively, for 70% and 30% of the increase in non-starchy lipids, which preferentially bind to gluten (MGL) and to the outside part of the starch granules (DATEM). SSL mainly increased the pool of free lipids and preferentially bound to the inside part of the starch granules and loosely to the gluten. Hydrocolloids preferentially bound to the gluten (CMC) and to the outside part of the starch granules (HPMC) respectively; this was associated with a significant displacement of endogenous gluten-bounded lipids to the starchy fraction (CMC) and with a significant decrease in lipids bound to the outside part of the starch granules (HPMC). The addition of α-amylase promoted a release of endogenous, bound lipids, and the sourer starter induced the aggregation of the starch-lipid complexes, revealed by the respective decrease in the level of gluten bounded lipids (α-amylase) and increase in the level of starchy lipids. Desired trends in dough lipid parameters resulting in strengthened gluten, delayed starch gelatinization, softer bread and reduced/delayed bread staling corresponded to high values of both free and starchy lipids, achieved by the incorporation of SSL and/or CMC into doughs.

Selected emulsifiers, enzymes and a carbohydrate-based fat substitute were incorporated into a standard muffin recipe, and their effects were compared with a full-fat counterpart. The control muffin had a significantly (P

Los emulsificantes se utilizan como agentes antienvejecimiento en productos de panadería, proporcionando mayor vida útil. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar los efectos de dos emulsificantes, mono y diglicéridos, de los ácidos grasos esterificados, con ácido diacetil tartárico (DATEM) y estearoil lactilato de sodio (SSL), sobre las características reológicas de la masa de buñuelo y las propiedades físicas y químicas del producto, almacenado a temperatura ambiente. Se adicionó DATEM y SSL, en porcentajes de 0,5 y 1%, con respecto al queso de la formulación. Las masas presentaron un efecto significativo sobre las constantes reológicas del modelo de Peleg, k1 y k2, obteniendo los menores valores para las muestras con emulsificante (DATEM o SSL), al 1%. No se observó influencia significativa de los emulsificantes sobre las propiedades químicas y texturales (punción y dureza) del buñuelo. La cohesividad y la elasticidad del producto disminuyeron significativamente, al aumentar la concentración de SSL. El contenido de humedad, la actividad de agua y la fuerza máxima de punción disminuyeron durante el tiempo de almacenamiento. Por el contrario, la dureza de la miga aumentó en el periodo de almacenamiento. Emulsifiers are used as anti-staling agents in bakery products, increased shelf life. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of two emulsifiers, diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM) and sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL), on the rheological characteristics of the buñuelo dough and on the physical and chemical properties of the product stored at room temperature. DATEM and SSL were added in percentages of 0,5% and 1% base on the cheese of the formulation. The dough samples showed a significant effect on the rheological model constants of Peleg, k1 and k2, and lower values were obtained for the samples with emulsifier (DATEM or SSL) at 1%. The chemical and textural (puncture and hardness) properties of buñuelo were not influenced significantly by the emulsifiers. Cohesiveness and elasticity of the product decreased significantly as the concentration of SSL increased. Moisture content, wáter activity and puncture maximum force decreased during the storage time. On the other hand, the crumb hardness increased during the storage period. incluye referencias bibliográficas

The effect of two additives, high methoxyl pectin (P) and the emulsifier diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides commonly named DATEM (D) and their mixture (P+D) on dough properties and baking performance of two varietal Argentinean wheat flours (Buck Pronto [BP]; Klein Escudo [KE] was analyzed. Rheological characterization of dough (alveogram, farinograms, texture profile analysis-TPA, and rheometric assays), with and without additives, was performed. SEM was used to evaluate the microstructure of dough. Baking performance was analysed by bread volume measurements, shape ratio of loaves (width/height), and the hardness of crumb and crust. Assays on dough showed differences in alveographic force (W) and in most of the texture profile analysis parameters. Assays on bread showed that BP specific volume was improved with the addition of P and P+D, but shape ratio was only improved with the mixture of P+D. Breads from KE flour with additives presented, in all cases, showed higher volumes and a better shape ratio than those obtained with the control sample. Hardness of KE crumb was diminished by all additives but BP crumb was softened only with the addition of P and P+D. All sensory parameters were improved for both types of bread, particularly with D and P+D., Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestales, Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo en Criotecnología de Alimentos

Shortening (0.5 or 1.0% on flour-mass basis), distilled monoglycerides (MG), sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides (DATEM) or l -ascorbyl-6-palmitate (AP) at the 0.25 or 0.50% level, and shortening/surfactant combinations were added to Arabic bread and the effects on water-binding capacity (WBC), amylose content of soluble starch and sensory properties evaluated. WBC and percentage amylose of soluble starch were not affected by shortening and decreased in the presence of surfactants. The sensory quality of breads was not affected by shortening. At the 0.25% level, the first-day quality was not affected by MG and improved in the presence of SSL, DATEM or AP. High levels (0.5%) of surfactant adversely affected the breads' first-day quality. Addition of shortening to surfactant-containing formulations negatively affected the first-day quality of the product. Surfactants, alone or in combination with shortening, had deleterious effects on the keeping quality of Arabic bread.

Nowadays, the use of bread improvers has become an essential part of improving the production methods and quality of bakery products. In the present study, the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to determine the optimum improver gel formulation which gave the best quality, shelf life, sensory and image properties for Barbari flat bread. Sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglyceride (DATEM) and propylene glycol (PG) were constituents of the gel and considered in this study. A second-order polynomial model was fitted to each response and the regression coefficients were determined using least square method. The optimum gel formulation was found to be 0.49 % of SSL, 0.36 % of DATEM and 0.5 % of PG when desirability function method was applied. There was a good agreement between the experimental data and their predicted counterparts. Results showed that the RSM, image processing and texture analysis are useful tools to investigate, approximate and predict a large number of bread properties.

The effects of protein quality, protein content, ingredients, and baking process of flour blends on hearth loaves were studied. The flour blends varied in protein composition and content. Flours of strong protein quality produced hearth loaves with larger loaf volume, larger bread slice area, and higher form ratio (height/width) than flours of weak protein quality. The effect of protein content on hearth loaf depended on the size distribution of the proteins. Increasing protein content was associated with increased percentage of the largest glutenin polymers, and loaf volume and slice area increased significantly. The form ratio, however, remained unchanged with increasing flour protein content. Strong protein quality flours tolerated addition of whole meal flour better than weak protein quality flours. Increased amount of flour with strong protein quality improved hearth bread characteristics to a larger extent than increased protein content. Diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides (DATEM) improved hearth bread characteristics, but the effect was small compared with the effect of protein composition. © 2005 AACC International, Inc.

The effects of protein composition, protein content, diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides (DATEM), and their interaction on dough and bread characteristics were studied by small- and pilot-scale hearth bread baking, dough rheological testing using the Kieffer extensibility rig, and size distribution of proteins. Protein composition had the largest influence on dough and bread characteristics. There was interaction effect between protein quality and protein content on dough behavior. High percentage of sodium dodecyl sulfate-unextractable polymeric proteins in flours gave large area and good form ratio. Increased ratio between monomeric and polymeric proteins resulted in decreased form ratio. Addition of DATEM altered the rheological behavior of the dough and the bread-making performance. The effect was, however, small compared with the effect of the protein composition. © 2005 Institute of Food Technologists.

The effect of dough recipe ingredients and processing on the generation of monochloropropanediol isomers (MCPDs) in leavened wheat doughs has been investigated. Commercial ingredients having no effect on MCPD formation were acetic acid and baking fats (triacylglycerols). Ingredients making a significant contribution to MCPD levels were yeast and flour improver [ascorbic acid, diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM), and soya flour]. The results showed that free glycerol is a key precursor of MCPDs in leavened doughs. This glycerol is primarily generated by the yeast during proving but is also present in the flour, the yeast, and the improver. Under conditions of high dough moisture content (45%), MCPD formation was approximately proportional to glycerol concentration but showed a weaker dependence on chloride level, suggesting that the mechanisms of formation involved at least some reversible stages. MCPD generation increased with decreasing dough moisture to a point where the formation reaction was limited by chloride solubility and competing reactions involving glycerol and key precursor intermediates. These results could be predicted by a kinetic model derived from the experimental data. Glycerol was shown to account for 68% of MCPDs generated in proved full recipe dough.

The surface dilational moduli of suspensions of the surfactants sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL) and diacetyl tartaric esters of mono (and di) glycerides (DATEM) were determined by means of the so-called ring trough technique. It was investigated whether these surfactants could provide the surface with a high surface stiffness by giving the surface a mechanical treatment at room temperature. It appeared that both SSL and DATEM suspensions have high surface dilational moduli (500–1000 mN m −1 ) after having undergone such a mechanical treatment. These values are of importance in retarding disproportionation in bread dough. The tested surfactants also lower the surface tension of dough leading to the subdivision of the entrapped air bubbles into more and smaller bubbles during mixing.

The effects of oxidants, an emulsifier, fat and mixer atmosphere on loaf quality (volume and texture) of wholemeal bread, made by a mechanical dough development procedure (Chorleywood Bread Process), were investigated. Both ascorbic acid (AA) and the emulsifier, diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides (DATEM) gave substantial improvements in loaf volume, and a marked synergistic effect between AA and DATEM was observed in both loaf volume and texture. When AA (75 ppm) was used in the recipe and the doughs mixed under partial vacuum or in an atmosphere of 10 % O2:90 % N2, loaf volume was lower than when mixed in air; dehydroascorbic acid (75 ppm) was more effective than AA at low O2, levels. No improvement in loaf volume was obtained when O2 levels were increased above that in air. Loaves baked, using a low fat (0·7 %, flour weight basis) recipe, from wholemeal flour that had been stored at 20 °C for 17 weeks had lower volumes than those from wholemeal kept at –20°C. Increasing the fat content of the recipe to 2% restored the loaf volumes given by 20 °C-stored wholemeals to those obtained with frozen wholemeal.

Binding of lipids and added fats increased as more work was applied to wheat-flour doughs mixed under nitrogen. Bound-lipid levels were lower in doughs mixed in air than in those mixed in nitrogen and increase in work input had little effect on the level of bound lipid in the former. The presence of DATEM emulsifier (diacetyl tartaric esters of mono- and diglycerides) had little effect on the air-mixed doughs, but brought about a considerable reduction in lipid binding in the doughs mixed under nitrogen. It is known that DATEM emulsifiers have profound effects on dough and bread properties and it is suggested that one effect of these emulsifiers is to maintain a pool of free lipid in the dough.

Antistaling additives—distilled monoglycerides (MGL), diacetyl tartaric ester of monodiglycerides (DATEM), sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and fungal α-amylase—were studied for effects on rheological and fer- mentative properties of white/whole wheat bread doughs, made following straight/sour dough processes. A fractionated factorial design (L32) was used to evaluate single additive effects and interactions. Single addition of DATEM, followed by SSL, α-amylase and hydrocolloids improved oven rise and final volume. In presence of DATEM, synergistic (MGL) and antagonistic (SSL) effects of additional emulsifiers were found on gassing power. SSL was the only effective conditioner for enhancement of mixing properties. Dough plasticity was negatively affected by MGL addition and by CMC/HPMC in white/whole flours respectively. Some combinations resulted in detrimental dough handling properties.
