Abstract

A bread-improver in paste and powder form was studied to determine its influence on the composition of volatiles in bread. Addition of soya flour to the bread-improver increased peak area percentages of 1-butanol, 1-octen-3-ol, 1-pentanol, 1-penten-3-ol, decanal, heptanal, hexanal, hexanol, nonanal and octanal in the headspace of the bread. The use of stored soya-containing bread-improver resulted in less of an increase in peak area percentages of all these compounds compared to values obtained using fresh soya bread-improver. Storage of soya bread-improver reduced the formation of secondary lipid oxidation products, and decreased its bleaching action and lipoxygenase activity.
