Gluten-free bread made from modified sweet potato flour with nuts flour surpasses wheat
Researchers modified sweet potato flour using oxidation and irradiation to make gluten-free bread with added nuts flour. They compared this bread to wheat flour and native sweet potato flour. The modified sweet potato bread had higher moisture and dietary fiber, but lower protein. It was harder and springier than wheat bread, with similar color. The baking quality was lower than wheat bread. However, the modified sweet potato bread with soybean flour had the highest scores for taste, aroma, color, and overall acceptance in sensory evaluations.
