Abstract

Optimization of gluten-free rice-based Barbari bread formulation using response surface methodology was investigated in the current study. The effect of three independent variables including amaranth flour (25%, 40%, and 55%), whey protein powder (5%, 7.5%, and 10%), and xanthan gum (0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%) on bread porosity, firmness, and sensory attributes was evaluated. The optimized formulation was obtained with amaranth flour 49%, whey protein 0.88%, and xanthan gum 0.9%. Under these conditions, the firmness, porosity, and sensory score were 2.55 N, 29.95%, and 3.88, respectively. Furthermore, the amount of protein, lipid, ash, and crude fiber as well as specific volume of the optimized sample were significantly (p < 0.05) improved compared to the control while the color of the optimized sample was darker. The optimized bread also showed a slower staling rate compared to the control.

Novelty Impact Statement

  • Nowadays, the demand for gluten-free food products especially bread has been increasing.
  • Desirable quality and sensory attributes of these bread samples are normally achieved by the use of some additives such as hydrocolloids or other gluten-free proteins.
  • The present study provides evidence that the use of amaranth flour with whey protein powder and xanthan gum in gluten-free Barbari bread formulation can be useful for increasing quality characteristics.
