Different emulsifiers, like lecithin, E471 (distilled monoglyceride) and E472 (diacetylated tartaric acid esters of mono- and digelycerid of fatty acids), were added to the flour at various levels ranging between 0.25 and 1.0% w/w, and it was observed that they improved the dough characteristics. Improvement in bread quality parameters, such as force to tear and sensory acceptability, were monitored. Fungalα-amylase was also incorporated into the flour at 5–20 g/100 kg flour basis alone and in combination with the emulsifier. The force required to tear the fresh bread was decreased with emulsifier and enzyme addition; however, E472 addition at 0.75% w/w of whole wheat flour gave the softest bread. The tear force of stored bread significantly increased with storage; however, bread containing E472 showed a less increase in tear force up to a period of 3 days. The sensory acceptability was found to be higher than that of the control bread for emulsifiers, and lower for enzyme at a concentration higher than 10 g/kg flour.Teftoon, a flat bread made of whole wheat flour, is prepared by hand sheeting of dough, followed by baking.

Today, large-scale production and increased consumer demands for high-quality bread with long shelf life have created the need for functional food additives such as emulsifiers and α-amylase enzyme. Incorporation of emulsifiers and enzyme decreased the hardness of Taftoon bread. Emulsifiers and α-amylase enzyme enhanced the flat bread dough quality. The sensory acceptability also improved with the addition of emulsifiers. Optimizing the amount of emulsifiers and enzyme required for reduction of bread hardness is vital because the quality and price of the final product depend on this parameter.Flat bread is normally consumed fresh, but the staling phenomenon starts immediately after baking this kind of bread.

This study was intended to investigate the effect of different bakery glazing groups such as natural, polyols, sugars, and hydrocolloids on Barbari flat bread. Some quality attributes of bread such as moisture content, water activity, specific volume and width/height ratio (0 day) and hardness, crumb, and crust moisture (0–12 days) were evaluated. Results showed that vegetable oil treated samples had the lowest water activity and moisture content. Also, xanthan treatment provided the greatest effect on the specific volume of fresh bread, which enhanced it from 3.94 to 5 cm3/g. Vegetable oil, glycerol, dextrose, liquid glucose, and guar treatments had more significant effect on width/height ratio in comparison to nontreated (unglazed) bread. Evaluation of crumb hardness and moisture during 12 days storage implicated water, egg yolk, starch, and propylene glycol treatments were able to diminish the bread staling and these treated samples had the lowest crumb hardness. Crumb moisture of Barbari bread was affected mostly by water and starch treatments at day 12. Finally, our finding approved that using of glazing as a novel method is an effective technique for improvement of overall quality of flat bread and its application is suggested for large-scale production of other bakery products.

Effects of different levels of polyols (0, 1 and 5 g/100 g) were analyzed during 2 weeks of storage at room temperature. Specific volume and width/height ratio of fresh breads were not affected by polyol addition, while it significantly decreased the moisture content of the bread. Propylene glycol significantly decreased water activity to 0.871 (1 g/100 g propylene glycol) and 0.867 (5 g/100 g propylene glycol) in comparison with the control (0.883). Evaluation of crumb hardness and moisture indicated that sorbitol and propylene glycol were able to diminish bread staling. The rise in hardness in polyol-supplemented bread samples was not significantly more than the control between the first and second days of storage. Increase in hardness of bread samples was observed lower than the control after the second day in both levels of the sorbitol and 5 g/100 g propylene glycol. Acceptability of the breads, as indicated by panelists, was found to be higher than control bread for 5 g/100 g propylene glycol with 3.8 and 4.8 values, respectively. Results showed that propylene glycol can present the greatest effect on quality and shelf life of Barbari flat bread fortified with soy flour.The influence of glycerol, sorbitol, maltitol and propylene glycol on shelf life and quality of Barbari, Iranian flat bread, fortified with soy flour, was examined.

The three most common forms of bread deterioration are staling, moisture loss and microbial spoilage. One of the most frequent ways to prevent or control these problems is the use of additives such as polyols. Polyols may be a good choice to diminish the hardening phenomena, moisture loss and water activity, and increase the shelf life and sensory acceptability of bakery products. On the other hand, incorporation of soybean flour into food products, especially in developing countries, can provide good nutritional quality besides prolonging the shelf life of bread. The changes due to polyol addition need to be characterized if a viable commercial product should be achieved.Flat bread plays a significant role in the diet of large portion of the Middle East population, but it is a highly delicate product.
