The positive effect of lipoxygenase, added as an enzyme-active soy flour, during the production of white bread is well established. In addition to increasing the mixing tolerance and overall dough rheology, lipoxygenase is also an effective bleaching agent. It is known that these effects are mediated by enzyme-coupled cooxidation of gluten proteins and carotenoids. However, the mechanism whereby these effects are achieved is not yet fully understood. In order to gain a better understanding into the reactions governing the beneficial effects of lipoxygenases in bread dough, an in-depth knowledge of the lipoxygenase catalytic mechanism is required. Until now no single review combining the molecular enzymology of lipoxygenase enzymes and their application in the baking industry has been presented. This review, therefore, focuses on the extraction and molecular characterization of lipoxygenases in addition to the work done on the application of lipoxygenases in the baking industry.

Center of Research in Food Environment and Prevention of Obesity and Non-Communicable Diseases (CIAPEC), Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology (INTA), University of Chile, Santiago, Chile.

Background: Chile's Food Labelling Law was implemented in three phases with increasingly stricter limits. After initial implementation, sugars and sodium decreased in packaged foods, with no significant changes for saturated fats. It is unclear whether full implementation is linked with further reformulation or if producers reversed changes due to consumers' preferences.

Department of Flour Milling Baking and Confectionery Technology, Central Food Technological Research Institute, (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research), Mysore, 570020 India.

To study the characteristics of bread by incorporating nutrient-rich quinoa flour as a new source for product development. Wheat flour was replaced by fractionated quinoa flour in different variations from 0%QF to 20%QF: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% WQF blends, respectively. Physicochemical studies resulted in higher protein and fiber content for the higher blend.
