INFLUENCE OF ADDITIVES ON THE QUALITY OF BREAD PRODUCED FROM CERTAIN TYPES OF FLOUR

The main technological factors on bread production are the number of proteins, respectively the content and the quality of the gliadine and gluteline-gluten, for this reason in case it is necessary, the usage of tested additives leads to the improvement of the quality of final product. The effect of used additives, however, it is closely linked to the used wheat cultivars, as well as to the radius of the flour that will be used for the production of bread. The additives or the redox agents represent products with chemical attributes, which through the oxidation or reduction reactions that they incite in the dough, they change the rheological qualities of it, the oxidants improve the color of the flour, rheological qualities as well as the formation of pores of bread, whereas the reducing agents react in the SS connections in dough, respectively they incite the reduction of overall molecular weight of the protein aggregates of gluten protein.
