Title

Quality of wheat flour breads with addition of irradiated flours

Abstract

This research is an attempt to improve the quality of wheat bread by means of adding to the wheat flour of types 550 and 850, the same type of flour exposed to gamma radiation in doses of 3 and 5 kGy, and by adding to it the tritieale flour (type 680) from Vero variety exposed to radiolysis at the dose of 3 kGy, in 10% amount of flour mass. Straight method was used for baking. By means of addition of the wheat flour exposed to 3 kGy radiation to the flour (type 550), and of wheat and tritieale flour exposed to the same dose of radiation to the flour (type 850), higher volume of breads, in comparison to the standard, has been obtained. At storage, the degree of wheat breads crumb hardening obtained from type 550 flour was very close to that of standard,while the wheat breads obtained from type 850 with addition of flours exposed to radiation hardened to a lesser extend.
