Revolutionary Additives Boost Bread Quality Using Local Ingredients
The researchers tested different additives in bread made from a mix of wheat flour and other flours like barley, corn, potato, and sweet potato. They found that a mix of glyceryl monosterate (GMS) and sodium stearyl lactylate (SSL) increased the volume of bread made from corn, potato, and sweet potato flours. GMS and calcium stearyl lactylate (CSL) increased the volume of bread made from barley and wheat flour. Xanthan gum (XG) and polysaccharide (PS) had less effect on bread volume. Overall, the additives improved the texture and appearance of the bread made from the different flour mixes.
