Abstract
The main objective of this study was to detennine the effects of partial substitution of wheat flour with chempedak (Artocarpus integer) seed flour on the physicochemical, organoleptic and microbiological attributes of the bread. Chempedak seed flour (CSF) was substituted at different levels (0, 10, 20 and 30% w/w) in bread fonnulation. The effects on physicochemical and organoleptic attributes of bread with different substitution levels of CSF were investigated. The effects on chemical composition of bread includes proximate, total dietary fibre, mineral, total starch and resistant starch, antinutrient, oligosaccharides, amylose and amylopectin contents, and the estimated glycemic index (EGI) value. The physical attributes of the bre.ad were determined by loaf volume, loaf weight, density, loaf specific volume, oven spring, sensory evaluation and physical texture analysis. At higher CSF substitution level, bread samples resulted in significantly increased (p<0.05) moisture, crude fibre, ash, resistant starch, total dietary fibre and certain essential mineral contents. Crude fat, carbohydrate content and calorie values were decreased significantly (p<0.05) with higher CSF substitution level in bread. Subsequently, the estimated glycemic index (EGI) value of bread at higher substitution levels of CSF was found to decrease significantly (p<0.05). Amylose content was found to decrease significantly (p<0.05) while amylopectin content increased significantly (p<0.05) with elevated substitution level of CSF in bread. The value of antinutritional factors and oligosaccharides in bread with different substitution levels of CSF were low to exert de\(~terious effect on health. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of bread crumb indicated distinguishable open pore structures with increased CSF substitution level. Loaf qualities (loaf volume, specific volume, oven spring) were significantly decreased (p<0.05) at higher substitution level of CSF. Meanwhile, colour analysis showed that bread with higher CSF substitution level produced darker crumb colour (p<O.05) and the crumb finnness was significantly increased (p<0.05). Overall acceptability of bread with different substitution CSF levels showed that the 10% CSF bread resulted in no significant difference (p>0.05) as compared to the control. Addition of maltodextrin and a.-amylase did not delay the staling rate of bread with different substitution levels of CSF. The shelf life of bread with different substitution levels of CSF was found to lasts for only 4-days as the total plate count (TPC) was exceeding the safety limit on Day s.
