Full baking of earlier partially baked (parbaked) bread can supply fresh bread to the consumer at any time of the day. When parbaked bread loaves were stored at -25, 4 or 23°C, the extent of crumb to crust moisture migration and amylopectin retrogradation differed with storage temperature, and the firming rate was evidently lowest during frozen storage. The extent of crumb to crust moisture migration during parbaked bread storage largely determined the mass of the fresh finished bread, and its crumb and crust moisture contents. Initial NMR proton mobility, initial resilience, the extent of amylopectin retrogradation and changes in firmness and resilience during storage of fully baked bread were affected by its crumb moisture content. The lowest firming rate was observed for finished bread resulting from parbaked bread stored at -25°C, while the highest firming rate was observed for finished bread from parbaked bread stored at 23°C.

Par-baking technology increases the production efficiency of bread. However, the degree of par-baking can vary significantly amongst product types and intended sales markets, leading to substantial differences in the quality attributes of the finished product. The objective of this study was to explore the impact of the degree of par-baking on the technological quality of wheat, whole wheat, and whole rye bread (95, 75, and 50% of full baking time).

Bread is the staple food in many parts of the world. Like other foods, bread can contain mycotoxins resulting from microbial development throughout the supply chain (from field to table). In this study, baguette-style bread from small artisanal bakeries (direct) and supermarkets (par-baked loaves made by large companies) in Castile and Leon (Spain) was analyzed.

The effect of UVC (254 nm) treatment on the mould-free shelf-life of par-baked wholemeal, rye and six-grain bread was examined. Currently, these breads are par-baked, wrapped in high-density polyethylene (HDPE)-foil and transported or stored at room temperature for a couple of days before being full-baked and sold/consumed. Generally, after five days, these breads show signs of mould spoilage.

The retrogradation of starch occurs in the process of freezing storage of par-baked baguette, resulting in easy staling and a decrease of consumer acceptance. The objective of this study was to assess whether the staling of par-baked baguette could be improved by the addition of Arabic gum (AG), Sodium alginate (SA), and Sesbania gum (SG). The physical, thermal dynamic, and microstructure properties of par-baked baguette during frozen storage were analyzed.

Modelling and validation of the antifungal activity of DL-3-phenyllactic acid and acetic acid on bread spoilage moulds.

Most interesting antifungal compounds from sourdough fermentation are acetic acid (AA) and DL-3-phenyllactic acid (PLA). Although the role of pH on the activity of organic acids has been established long time ago, no information is available on the importance of undissociated acid (HA) expressed on the aqueous phase of bread (C, mmole/L). Mostly, concentrations (mmole/kg dough or bread, C) and pH are given side by side.
