Abstract

Our work consists of studying the improvement of the bread-making quality of soft wheat flour by using a natural product, malt
flour, to enhance its value as an intermediate product, by examining its influence on the biochemical, nutritional, technological and
organoleptic behavior of the finished product. The chemical composition of bread flours (you have only studied soft wheat flour) with
added malt flour (water, fat, protein, ash, starch content) as well as the technological and functional properties (gluten, falling number,
Zeleny, CHOPIN alveograph) were thus determined. The study showed that the incorporation of malt flour into wheat flour provides
more mineral salts, fat and starch and a decrease in the sedimentation index, amylase activity, swelling index "G" and deformation work "W" and an increase in tenacity "P". The breads obtained had a good volume, a good crumb texture, a fine crust and a good taste,
especially for flours with 1% and 2% malt added, comparable to the control bread.
