摘要
The present study investigates the effects of incorporating oat bran(OB) into Chinese steamed bread(CSB). Different levels(5%, 10% and 15%) of OB were used to replace wheat flour in the manufacture of CSB. The rheological properties of the dough were measured(water absorption(WA), development time, mixing tolerance, extensibility and stickiness). The addition of OB significantly increased WA, development time and stickiness, whereas decreased extensibility of dough. The physical properties of CSB were determined using specific volume, loaf height, moisture, and texture analysis. The nutritional quality of the bread was also analysed using an in vitro digestion method mimicking intestinal digestion. The results illustrated that the incorporation of OB into wheat flour decreases specific volume and softness of CSB. The addition of OB decreased the glycaemic response of steamed bread.This study illustrates the potential addition of OB to improve the nutritional quality of CSB.
