Effects of adding flaxseed milk coproduct and okara on the quality and glycemic response of Chinese steamed bread

Flaxseed milk coproduct(FMC)is a by-product of flaxseed milk.Okara is a by-product of processed soybean products.In this study,we investigated the quality of dough and Chinese steamed bread(CSB)with the addition of FMC and okara.We also examined the in vitro starch digestibility,expected glycemic index(eGI),starch crystallinity,and short-range order structure of CSB.The results showed that FMC and okara decreased the dough fluidity,formed a dense structure,and enhanced the mechanical properties of the dough.FMC and okara increased the hardness,gumminess,and chewiness of the CSB,while decreasing its cohesion and elasticity.The addition of FMC and okara improved the nutrient content of CSB and reduced the eGI from 75.86 to 51.56.FMC and okara altered the multiscale structure of starch,effectively shielding the amylase site of action,and limited the interaction between amylase and starch.This study provides a reference for the high-value utilization of oilseed processing by-products.

Rapid analysis of Chinese steamed bread staling using Raman Spectroscopy

Staling is an important issue that Chinese steamed bread(CSB)may encounter during storage,which significantly affects their taste,flavor,and nutritional value.The monitoring technology for rapid aging is particularly important to effectively control the aging process of CSB,reduce quality deterioration,and promote the industrial production of CSB.Raman spectroscopy has been widely used in the study of food structure and properties due to its non-destructive and high-sensitivity characteristics,particularly demonstrating unique advantages in the analysis of starch structure.This study explored the possibility of analyzing the staling of CSB using Raman spectroscopy based on hardness and moisture content.Analysis of the correlation between the hardness of CSB and the full width at half maximum(FWHM)at 480 cm^(−1)during storage was conducted,and a significant positive correlation between them was found,with R^(2)above 0.8.Besides,nine characteristic peaks of CSB samples related to starch were selected for analysis.As the moisture content of CSB decreased,the peak intensities and areas of showed an upward trend during storage,with the best correlation coefficient above 0.8 revealed by linear regression analysis.Therefore,Raman spectra could be used as a potential method for the fast prediction of CSB staling.

Nutritional evaluation of different cultivars of potatoes(Solanum tuberosum L.) from China by grey relational analysis(GRA) and its application in potato steamed bread making

Chemical composition(moisture,protein,starch,ash,fiber,fat),vitamins(vitamin C,vitamin B1,vitamin B2),total polyphenol content,antioxidant capacity,minerals,and amino acid of 14 potato cultivars in China were evaluated.The results indicated that all parameters varied significantly among different potato cultivars.The total starch,crude protein and fat content ranged between 57.42–67.83%,10.88–14.10% and 0.10–0.73% dry weight(DW),respectively.Moreover,the consumption of potato increased remarkably the dietary intake of vitamins,K,Mn and Cu.In addition,the chemical score of amino acid varied considerably between different cultivars,which ranged from 54(Neida 3 and Neida 41) to 71(Neida 34).Grey relational analysis(GRA) indicated that Neida 26 exhibited the most comprehensive nutritional values among potato cultivars,followed by Neida 42.Different potato flours had a significant effect on the quality parameters of potato steamed bread(PSB),Neida 26 and Neida 34 were more suitable for making PSB.

Effect of Waxy Wheat Flour Blends on the Quality of Chinese Steamed Bread

Steamed bread is very popular in the East and Southeast Asian regions, and its quality is affected by some physicochemical properties. Chinese steamed bread was made by adding waxy flour into normal wheat flour in the present study. The results showed that specific volume was not affected by the proportions of waxy flour, whereas, adding waxy flour decreased the appearance, color, texture, elasticity, stickiness, and the total score of Chinese steamed bread. However, there were no significant differences in all values when the proportions of waxy flour were below 10%. All evaluations but specific volume of Chinese steamed bread were positively influenced by the peak viscosity, resistance, and maximum resistance. When the waxy flour proportions were below 25%, the firmness of Chinese steamed bread stored at -18℃ for 3 days gradually decreased with the increase of waxy flour. It was revealed that the qualities of Chinese steamed bread cannot be improved by waxy flour but it can be widely used in frozen storing food in the future.

Analysis of Low-polar Ginsenosides in Steamed Panax Ginseng at High-temperature by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS

A high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrome try（HPLC-ESI-MS/MS） method was developed for the analysis and identification of ginsenosides in the extracts of raw Panax ginseng（RPG） and steamed Panax ginseng at high temperatures（SPGHT）. A total of 25 ginsenosides were extracted include of which 10 low-polar ginsenosides, such as ginsenosides F4, Rk3, Rh4, 20S-Rg3, 20R-Rg3 and so on, were identified according to their HPLC retention time and MS/MS data. The results indicated that the low polar ginsenosides were seldom found in RPG. For the exploration of the transformation pattern of the ginsenosides in steam processing, the standards of ginsenosides Re, Rg1, Rb1, Rc, Rb2, Rb3 and Rd were selected and hydrolyzed at a temperature of 120 oC. The results show that these polar ginsenosides can be converted to low-polar ginsenosides such as Rg2, Rg6, F4, Rk3 and Rg5 by hydrolyzing the sugar chains.

Relationship between physicochemical characteristics of Korean wheat flour and quality attributes of steamed bread

The purpose of this study is to identify major factors affecting the manufacture and quality of steamed bread,consumed in Southeast Asia including China,Japan,and Korea.Hence,flours of 11 Korean wheat cultivars were used to evaluate quality attributes of two different styles of steamed bread,Korean style steamed bread(KSSB)and northern-style Chinese steamed bread(NSCSB).KSSB prepared more ingredients and higher optimum water absorption of dough than NSCSB because Korean consumers prefer white and glossy surface and soft crumb.KSSB showed lower height,larger diameter and volume of steamed bread,higher stress relaxation,and softer texture of crumb than NSCSB.The correlation between flour characteristics and quality of steamed bread was different in KSSB and NSCSB.About 90%of variability in the height and volume of KSSB could be predicted from protein content,mixing tolerance of Mixograph,average particle size of flour,final viscosity and solvent retention capacity.Protein content and quality parameters also could explain the variation of steamed bread height in NSCSB.Korean wheat carrying Glu-A3c allele produced higher volume of steamed bread(704.7 mL)than Glu-A3d allele(645.8 mL)in KSSB,although there was no significant difference in volume of NSCSB by glutenin compositions.Glu-D1d and Glu-A3c alleles had softer texture of crumb than Glu-D1f and Glu-A3d alleles in KSSB,Glu-B3i allele also showed lower hardness of crumb than their counterpart allele in NSCSB.Hard wheat showed higher height and volume of steamed bread,and lower stress relaxation and hardness of crumb than soft wheat in KSSB.

Dammarane-type saponins from steamed leaves of Panax notoginseng

Four new dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins,namely notoginsenosides SFt1-SFt4(1-4)were isolated from the steamed leaves of Panax notoginseng(Burk.)F.H.Chen(Araliaceae),together with 17 known saponins.Their structures were established on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analyses and acidic hydrolysis.The known ginsenosides Rk2 and Rh3 were obtained from P.notoginseng for the first time.All of these new saponins showed no in vitro cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines(HL-60,SMMC-7712,A-549,MCF-7,and SW480).

Effects of Sourdough Addition on the Quality and Shelf Life of Chinese Steamed Bread

The effect of adding sourdough with lactic acid bacteria(Lactobacillus plantarum M616) on dough quality and the sensory scores, specific volume, crumb firmness, and spread ratio of resultant Chinese steamed bread were studied. The moisture content of crumb and texture characteristics of the Chinese steamed bread with sourdough during storage were analyzed. In this study, 10%,20%, 30%, and 40% of sourdough addition was investigated. The sourdough starter resulted in significant decrease in the water absorption, development time, stability, and farinograph quality number of the dough. The addition of sourdough improved the quality of Chinese steamed bread such as improving the sensory scores and specific volume, decreasing the crumb firmness, and a lower spread ratio was observed with an increase in the sourdough concentration up to 30%. Sourdough addition delayed a fast decrease in the moisture content of the Chinese steamed bread crumb during storage. The texture profile analysis of the bread crumb indicated that the addition of sourdough improved the quality and delayed the staling speed of Chinese steamed bread during storage.Moreover, inclusion of 30% sourdough produced the best protective effect on product staling.

Effect of Pectins on Dough Rheology and Chinese Steamed Bread Quality

Dough preparation and performance are two critical factors influencing the final quality of wheat products. The influence of high and low methoxyl pectins on empirical and dynamic rheological properties of dough and Chinese steamed bread(CSB)quality were investigated. Different concentrations of high methoxyl apple pectin(HMAP), low methoxyl apple pectin(LMAP),and amidation apple pectin(ALMAP) were tested. Results from dynamic and empirical rheological tests indicated that all concentrations of pectins tested(0.2%, 0.6%, and 1%) negatively affected the gluten network. The low methoxyl pectins, LMAP and ALMAP, which had higher anionic densities, resulted in a pronounced weakening of the dough. Meanwhile, dough fermentation properties improved in the presence of appropriate pectins concentrations, and higher maximum dough height, stability of dough pore space, and gas retention were recorded. HMAP was the pectin most effective in influencing dough fermentation properties at all tested concentrations. Regarding CSB quality, textural properties, specific volume, moisture content, and water-holding capacity were analyzed. Generally, the textural properties of CSB were improved, including improved springiness and decreased hardness and chewiness, when 0.2%–0.6% HMAP or LMAP was used. The specific volume of CSB was increased by adding 0.2%–1% HMAP,0.6%–1% LMAP, or 0.2%–0.6% ALMAP. Moreover, CSB moisture loss was progressively reduced in the presence of different pectins at all tested concentrations during storage. In conclusion, pectins, especially HMAP, are good additives for improving the fermentation properties of dough and overall quality of CSB.

Effects of acetic acid bacteria in starter culture on the properties of sourdough and steamed bread

Sourdough starters for making traditional steamed bread are rich in microbes.Studies have shown that,in addition to yeast and lactic acid bacteria(LAB),acetic acid bacteria(AAB)are other functional species in sourdough,but the influences of AAB on the properties of sourdough and steamed bread were rarely reported.This study aimed to assess the effects of a selected strain of acetic acid bacterium on the properties of sourdough and steamed bread.Sourdoughs and steamed breads were prepared from five different starter cultures,marked as CK(control check,with no starters),Y(only yeast),YL(yeast+LAB),YA(yeast+AAB)and YLA(yeast+LAB+AAB),and their properties were determined.The results of sour dough properties showed that the YLA sourdough had the highest total titratable acid of 14.6 mL and the lowest pH of 3.87 compared with the other groups after fermentation to 8 h;and the YLA sourdough had the greatest elasticity and viscosity.The results of quality properties of steamed bread revealed that the L*value(88.40±0.09)of the YA steamed bread was significantly higher than those of the YLA and YL steamed breads;the YLA steamed bread had the highest specific volume and the highest sensory score of 89.6±3.31 in comparison to those of the other groups;the hardness and chewiness of YLA and YA steamed breads were significantly lower than those of the other groups.Volatile compounds in the steamed breads were also determined by SPME-GC-MS.A total of 42 flavor substances were detected,including 3 kinds of alcohols,8 kinds of aldehydes,7 kinds of ketones,2 kinds of acids,15 kinds of esters,1 furan,and 6 kinds of other types of compounds,mainly alkanes and esters,followed by alcohols and aldehydes.The YLA steamed bread was richer in esters,aldehydes,and acids than those from the other treatment groups.By contrast,alkanes and aldehydes were dominant in the Y and YL steamed breads.Therefore,the flavor and quality of the steamed bread made from the YLA sourdough could be improved obviously.These results could provide references for the application of AAB in dough fermentation and the improvement of new kinds of starters.

Optimizing techno-functionality of germinated whole wheat flour steamed bread via glucose oxidase(Gox)and pentosanase(Pn)enzyme innovation

Germination,a powerful biofortification technique,holds immense potential in bolstering the micronutrient profile of essential staple grains,thereby paving the way for optimal nutritional enhancement.The primary goal of this study was to improve the technological functionality of germinated wheat flour by incorporating pentosanase(Pn)and glucose oxidase(Gox)enzymes,with particular emphasis on the evolutionary changes in its components.The inclusion of Gox did not produce any substantial impact on the volumetric characteristics of the steamed bread.The incorporation of Pn and Gox has been seen to enhance the overall excellence of steamed bread by optimizing loaf volume and textural characteristics while also improving the thermal stability of the dough.The existence of two endothermic peaks could be attributed to bound water or alterations in the granules within the starch crystallization region.Adding Pn and Gox reduced and increased the formation and stability time of the dough,respectively.A certain ratio was employed to assess alternations in the crystallinity of starch granules over a limited range.After steaming,a significant decrease in IR1047/1022 was observed,indicating that the elevated temperature partially disrupted the internal starch crystal structure,leading to a gelatinization reaction with water.The ratio of tensile resistance(R)and elongation(E)of dough increased significantly compared to the control.The results obtained from this study indicate that the simultaneous inclusion of enzymes(Pn+Gox)holds significant promise for expanding the technological functionality of germinated wheat flour dough and improving the quality attributes of steamed bread.

Study on Quality Traits for Steamed Bread Made from 25 Representative Wheat Varieties in Shandong Province

In order to study steamed bread quality traits and explore good wheat cultivars, 25 wheat cultivars grown in Shandong province were used through one-process fermentation procedure to examine the variability of steamed bread quality traits and the correlation between quality and score. The results showed that all the steamed bread quality traits expressed large variable coefficient except volume, L* value, l* value and cohesiveness traits, which suggested that the genetic diversity made from wheat in Shandong province was large. The average comprehensive score of the steamed bread was 76.8 for the tested 25 varieties, and ten varieties reached the good steamed bread level, which were Liangxing 99, Luyuan 205, Jimai 22, Jinan 17, Tainong 19, Wennong 17, Huaiyin 84137, and Huaimai 8. The main quality factors affecting the steamed bread score were volume, L* value, A* value, hardness, chewiness, and adhesiveness. Among these factors, the adhesiveness has a significantly positive correlation with the hardness and cohesive, and the volume has a significantly positive correlation with the A* value. The volume, L* value has a significantly positive correlation with score, A* value, hardness and chewiness, and gumminess has a significantly negative correlation with the score. There was no correlation between the score and other traits. The results will benefit the understanding of steamed bread quality in wheat cultivated in Shandong. l

A Comparative Study of the Translation of Reporting Verbs and Characterization between Conventional Translation and Self-Translation:A Case Study of Ah Xiao in Eileen Chang’s“Steamed Osmanthus”

Reporting verbs are not only an important means of presenting characters’speeches,but also an important means of characterization in narratives.The original and the two English versions of Eileen Chang’s novella“Steamed Osmanthus”are used as a corpus to conduct a comparative analysis focusing on the reporting verbs of the heroine Ah-Xiao.The analysis shows that the two translators-Eileen Chang herself and Simon Patton-have different styles.Patton favors the use of structuring verbs(especially“replied”)and neutral verbs in serial verb constructions while Chang tends to use neutral verbs glossed by an adverb,an adjective or a prepositional phrase.Descriptive verbs,especially prosodic verbs,also predominate in Chang’s version.As a result,both versions may have shaped a different Ah Xiao.

A study revealing the key aroma compounds of steamed bread made by Chinese traditional sourdough

Aroma of Chinese steamed bread（CSB） is one of the important parameters that determines the overall quality attributes and consumer acceptance. However, the aroma profile of CSB still remains poorly understood, mainly because of relying on only a single method for aroma extraction in previous studies. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the volatile aroma compounds of five different samples of CSB using three different aroma extraction methods, namely solid-phase microextraction（SPME）, simultaneous distillation–extraction（SDE）, and purge and trap（PT）. All samples showed a unique aroma profile, which could be attributed to their unique microbial consortia.（E）-2-Nonenal and（E,E）-2,4-decadienal were the most prevalent aromatic compounds revealed by SDE, which have not been reported previously, while ethanol and acetic acid proved to be the most dominant compounds by both SPME and PT. Our approach of combining three different aroma extraction methods provided better insights into the aroma profile of CSB, which had remained largely unknown in previous studies.
