The Study of Influence of Aronia Additives on Functional-technological Properties of Wheat Flour

The expedience of the use of aronia in technology of short dough products as a source of vitamins, mineral, pectin substances, phenol compounds, easily assimilated sugars, organic acids and so on was substantiated. To study the influence of aronia additives on the main receipt component of short dough (wheat flour) there was elaborated an algorithm of the study that includes theoretical analysis and physical-chemical experiment. The expedience of introduction of aronia as a powder directly into wheat flour was theoretically grounded. The methods of estimation of the content of polyphenol compounds, influence of aronia additives on amylolytic and proteolytic activity of wheat flour, its sugar-creating ability, were selected. The methods of experiment planning and mathematical processing of experimental data were realized using computer program MS Excel 97 2003.In was established, that the aronia additive weakens the gluten of wheat flour and prevents the swelling of gluten proteins. It positively influences the process of short dough formation and provides a possibility of its storage during the long time until baking. The use of aronia additives in technology of short dough products allows not only raise their food value but also improve the quality of short dough

Investigation of the Application of a New Method of Extraction Intensification of Pectin Substances From a Beet Pulp

The aim of research is studying a new method for intensifying extraction of pectin substances during acid extraction of pectin-containing raw materials. The description of the experimental setup and the procedure for processing the results of the investigation of the application of a new method for intensifying the beet pulp extraction are described. The results of experimental studies on the application of a new combined mixing element for intensifying the extraction of pectin-containing raw materials (beet pulp) and its effect on quantitative and qualitative output characteristics are presented. Mathematical models are constructed on the basis of regression equations of the full factorial experiment with the use of a new method of intensifying the extraction process to select input technological parameters for the extraction of pectin substances from pectin-containing raw materials. The rational operating parameters of the process of extraction of pectin substances with the use of a new combinable stirring element are determined. Such working parameters are: the process duration is 1 ... 1.1, the temperature of the working medium is 60 ... 70 ºС, and the hydromodule is 8 ... 10. The research results can be used to study other technological parameters of the extraction process of pectin substances, as well as to develop a technological line for the production of pectin products

Substantiation of Feasibility of Using Black Chokeberry in the Technology of Products From Shortcake Dough

The feasibility of using black chokeberry fruit in processing the products from shortcake dough was theoretically substantiated and experimentally proved. The influence of black chokeberry additive on the basic formulation component of shortcake dough – wheat flour – was investigated. It was found that the black chokeberry additive not only contributes to enhancing the nutritive value of shortcake dough, but also makes it possible to improve the quality of shortcake dough.The influence of physiologically active compounds of BCA on the quality of wheat flour gluten was explored. BCA in the form of powder and its water extract weakens flour gluten, which is a positive factor for the formation of shortcake dough. The gluten capability to stretch increases by 9…23 %, and dough becomes more plastic and does not require any addition of starch, which is often added to formulations with the aim of enhancing plasticity of the formulation mixture.Polyphenol substances of BCA were found to prevent gluten proteins of wheat flour from swelling due to a decrease in its water-retaining capacity, which provides the possibility of its storing for a long time before baking.We established a higher degree of inhibition of amylases in wheat flour by the extract of black chokeberry fruit or its juice compared to the powder from dry fruit. Water-soluble phenolic compounds of black chokeberry in reaction mixture interact with metal cations, existing there, and bind them in strong complexes. The obtained experimental data allow us not only to control hydrolytic processes in the dough semi-finished product, but also to extend the possibility of using wheat flour of lower grades after neutralizing the harmful action of enzymes in it
