High fibre breads were produced adding durum wheat bran fractions of different composition and particle size. Fresh products were characterized for texture, crumb grain, volume, colour, water status (water activity, moisture content, frozen water content, 1H molecular mobility). The addition of bran fractions with different composition resulted in significantly harder samples with lower volumes as compared to the control (STD), while bran fractions with different particle size did not significantly affect the volume and hardness of the samples (comparable to STD). The addition of bran fractions with different composition and particle size resulted in an altered water status, as shown by crumb moisture content (∼43% vs ∼41% in STD), water activity (0.97 vs 0.96 in STD) and frozen water content (∼60–66% vs ∼51% in STD). 1H NMR data showed an altered 1H molecular mobility in bran breads as compared to STD. In particular, an additional 1H T2 population was found in the bran samples. This population has been related to the influence of bran on starch-gluten-water interactions.

Abstract

High fibre breads were produced adding durum wheat bran fractions of different composition and particle size. Fresh products were characterized for texture, crumb grain, volume, colour, water status (water activity, moisture content, frozen water content, 1H molecular mobility). The addition of bran fractions with different composition resulted in significantly harder samples with lower volumes as compared to the control (STD), while bran fractions with different particle size did not significantly affect the volume and hardness of the samples (comparable to STD). The addition of bran fractions with different composition and particle size resulted in an altered water status, as shown by crumb moisture content (∼43% vs ∼41% in STD), water activity (0.97 vs 0.96 in STD) and frozen water content (∼60–66% vs ∼51% in STD). 1H NMR data showed an altered 1H molecular mobility in bran breads as compared to STD. In particular, an additional 1H T2 population was found in the bran samples. This population has been related to the influence of bran on starch-gluten-water interactions.
