Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

The disclosure describes a method for producing bread including kneading a dough together with a L-ascorbic acid, a reducing agent other than the L-ascorbic acid and a thickening agent, allowing the thus kneaded dough to ferment, and then baking the thus fermented dough.

Description

r 1~ ~7 ~

The present invention relates to a method for pro-ducing bread of good quality. More particularly, this inven-tion relates to a method for producing bread wherein, during kneading a dough, an L-ascorbic acid, a reducing agent other than the L-ascorbic acid and a thickening agent are added --thereto.
There have conventionally been attempted to increase the volume of bread to improve the appearance of the inner and outer phases of the bread and simultaneously to improve its taste. For such a purpose, L-ascorbic acid is employed but it does not alone provide breads of satisfactory quality.
As a result of extensive studies, we have found that a bread of extremely good quality can be obtained by kneading a dough together with three additives, namely, an L-ascorbic acid which can oxidatively act upon the dough to stiffen the same and thereby to improve the gas retention capacity of the same, a reducing agent (other than the L- -ascorbic acid) which serves oppositely to the L-ascorbic acid to soften the dough, and a thickening agent.
According to the present invention, there is pro-vided a method for producing bread by employing yeast, wherein a dough is kneaded together with three kinds of additives, namely, an L-ascorbic acid, a reducing agent other than the L-ascorbic acid and a thickening agent, and then fermented and baked.
More specifically, the invention relates to a method for producing bread comprising kneading a dough containing wheat flour together with an L-ascorbic acid, a reducing agent other than the L-ascorbic acid and a thickening agent, allow-ing the thus kneaded dough ~o ferment, and then baking the thus fermented dough, wherein the reducing agent is added, as its functional group having reducing power, in an amount of 0.02-1.0 microgram equivalent per gram of wheat flour.
A~' In the present specification, the term "bread"
includes not only Pullman type (flat-top) loafbread, English type (open-top) loafbread, roll bread, milk bread, French bread, and butter rolls, but also sweet bread such as bread filled with various jams, buns filled with sweet bean paste, loafbread containing raisins, bread containing egg and buns filled with cream paste, bread containing cereal flour other than wheat flour such as rye bread, rice bread, unpolished rice bread and whole wheat flour bread, and those fermented by yeast such as rusk, crackers and steamed buns filled with various fillers such as bean paste or cooked meat and vegetable mixture.
In carrying out the method according to the present invention, an L-ascorbic acid, a thickening agent and a reduc-ing agent may be added during any of the steps of producing breads.
The term "an L-ascorbic acid", which is employed herein means to include L-ascorbic acid, dehydro-ascorbic acid or their salts. The L-ascorbic acid may suitably be added at a proportion of 2 - 100 ppm of the weight of wheat flour. No significant effect will be brought about with an incorporation less than the above proportion and no substantial further effect will be expected even if the L-ascorbic acid is added in an amount beyond the above proportion.
The term "a reducing agent other than the L-ascorbic acid", which is employed herein includes any additive which acts upon a dough in a reducing fashion and is usable in food-stuff, for example, such as cysteine, glucose-cysteine, gluta-thione, thioctic acid (~-lipoic acid), and their salts, keratin hydrolysates, containing cysteine; natural substances such as powdered yeast and germs of grains which contain glutathione and sulfites such as so ium sulfite, sodium hydrosulfite,

potassium metabisulfite. Such a reducing agent may preferably be added, as its functional group having reducing power, in an amount of 0.02 - 1.0 microgram equivalent per gram of wheat flour. More preferably, the proportion ranges 0.05 - 0.2 micro-gram equivalent. Below 0.02 microgram, it is impossible to achieve the intended effect of the present invention and, over 1 microgram equivalent, the operability of a dough kneader will become poor as the dough becomes stickier and the gas retain-ability of the dough will be reduced thereby resulting in the volume reduction of the product.
Suitable thickening agents usable in the present invention include xanthan gum, carrageenan, tamarind seed gum, guar gum, locust bean gum, furcellaran, gum Arabic, alginic acid, ghatti gum, gum tragacanth, karaya gum, powdered yams, carboxymethyl starch and pullulan. Xanthan gum, ghatti gum and gum Arabic are particularly preferred. The thickening agent may normally be added in an amount of 10 - 3000 ppm of the weight of wheat flour but shall not be limited to that range. For xanthan gum, ghatti gum or gum Arabic, 50 - 1000 ppm are preferred. If such a thickener is added in an extreme-ly low concentration, its effectiveness will not show up. On the other hand, if too much is added, the extensibility of a dough will then be rendered poor thereby resulting in a small volume of the product obtained after baking.
These additives may be incorporated in a dough during its kneading operation and then thoroughly mixed together with the dough. In the sponge dough method, such additives may be added during the kneading operation of the initial composition but better results will be obtainable if they are incorporated during the primary kneading operation of the dough. According to the method of the present invention, it is possible to obtain bread whose volume is sufficiently large and whose inner
- 3 -1~ 2~i phase (crumb grain), outer phase (bread color, and appearance of crust) and texture (feeling obtained by pressing the texture with a finger) are satisfactory. In addition, the handling of dough is easy as the dough is not excessively sticky. The effec iveness of such additives becomes more apparent where --no oxidizing agent is employed.
In order to show the effectiveness of the method according to this invention, the following experiments were conducted. To the below-described basic composition, the additives in Table I were added and various breads were pro-duced in accordance with the dough method.
