Functional ingredients in baking

Abstract

An important issue today is using functional ingredients in the field of healthy nutrition. The aim of the work is to compile an analytical review of using the functional ingredients in the technology of bread and bakery products. Bread can be considered a promising product for the enrichment with essential ingredients due to the fact that it is commonly used and affordable. Providing products with the desired functional properties can be done by targeted optimization of their chemical composition, the use of new materials, dietary supplements and functional ingredients. Numerous studies have shown a sharp increase in human needs for functional ingredients provision of the population with micronutrients. Traditionally, for the enrichment of food – especially bread – use valuable biologically active substances, including vitamins-antioxidants (A, E, C and β-carotene), which prevent lipid peroxidation and accumulation of free radicals, polyunsaturated fatty acids, food fiber, protein isolates and partially defatted flour. The results of the analytical review. Analysis and generalization of literature sources on the use of functional ingredients in bread technology has identified the main areas of their use – the use of sugar substitutes, enrichment of products with proteins and dietary fiber, the use of oils containing ῳ-3, ῳ-6 fatty acids. The obtained data can be used to expand a new range of bakery products and improve existing technologies for the production of functional, health, therapeutic and dietary products for different groups.
