Instrumental and sensory evaluation of quality attributes of mixed buckwheat/wheat breads

Abstract

The application of buckwheat in food production is increasing due to its beneficial effect on human health. In this paper, mixed buckwheat/wheat breads made with white and wholegrain buckwheat flour were evaluated. Formulations in which wheat flour was substituted with 10%, 20% and 30% of buckwheat flour were tested. Crumb hardness and resilience were tested instrumentally after 24 and 48 h. Sensory testing involved the evaluation of crumb structure, flavour and mouthfeel by a panel of trained assessors.
