Abstract
This study was focused on the replacement of the part of the flour (10% w/w) in rye-wheat bread with three different botanical origin powders with a high dietary fiber content (buckwheat hulls, beetroot and flax powder). The dough was based on rye-wheat flour without and with the addition of fiber powders with different botanical origins and was tested, and the quality of the finished baked products made from those doughs were assessed. In order to characterize the flour mixtures, their basic parameters were determined, and their pasting characteristic was performed. The dough parameters were described by the Burger rheological model and also the creep and recovery test. On the other hand, in bread, the basic parameters of baking, crumb and crust color parameters were determined, and an analysis of the crumb texture was carried out. Additionally, a sensory analysis of the finished products was carried out. The applied fiber additives influenced the pasting characteristics of the tested rye-wheat flour and were influenced by the dough rheological properties. It was found that used fiber powders changed the quality parameters of the final products. Despite this, using fiber at the amount of 10% as a flour substitute allowed us to obtain bread of a similar quality to the control sample.
