Impact of Salix viminalis carbon as a bioactive component: developed a new proposal of application in functional bread
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2019, Vol 64, Issue 3
Abstract
Health-promoting foods are becoming more and more popular, and products with functional properties have become products desired by consumers. In this work, activated carbon obtained from wicker (Salix viminalis) was used as a functional addition to mixed bread. An assessment of its impact on the physicochemical indices of the dough and final product as well as nutritional value was made. Flour characteristics, nutritional value, bread quality and sensory evaluation were performed using chemical, physical and physico-chemical methods. The addition of activated carbon to bread significantly affects the value of most bread quality indicators. Bread containing activated carbon has a higher oven loss and a smaller volume of about 7%. The novel bread was characterized by a higher content of macronutrients and a higher energy value, as well as a higher ash content. The taste and aroma of bread with coal was similar to control bread. The addition of carbon did not affect the perception of off smell and taste. Activated carbon promoted water retention and hindered the growth of gluten as a result of fermentation. It has been shown that wicker activated carbon can be a valuable functional additive to bread, which increases its health value and does not adversely affect sensory properties. Due to the fact that bread is a group of products commonly consumed in the daily diet, they are products that can be carriers of functional ingredients, i.e. activated carbon from wicker, which is characterized by beneficial adsorption properties for health. Novel bread with charcoal may be a response to the demand for functional bread with action related to cleaning the intestinal lumen from unwanted compounds and metabolites.
