The Effects of Cephalaria Syriaca Flour on the Quality of Sunn Pest (Eurygaster Integriceps)‐Damaged Wheat

Abstract

The effects of Cephalaria syriaca flour on the quality of sunn pest-damaged wheat were investigated. Sunn pest-damaged wheat was blended into sound wheat at different levels (5, 10 and 15%). C. syriaca flour was then added at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% levels. The rheological properties of sunn pest-damaged wheat flour with added C. syriaca flour were considerably improved, in particular with regard to farinograph characteristics (dough stability, mixing tolerance index [MTI] and degree of softening [DS]) and instrumental textural properties (area and maximum resistance) compared to control. The dough stability value increased significantly (P < 0.01) as C. syriaca flour level increased for all sunn pest-damaged wheat levels. The addition of sunn pest-damaged wheat at 15% level greatly increased the MTI and DS values of dough (202.5 and 282.5 BU); however, the addition of 1.5% C. syriaca to this blend significantly decreased these values (87 and 94.5 BU; P < 0.01). PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSA large number of optional ingredients are included in bread formulation to improve its bread-making quality. Cephalaria syriaca is traditionally used to improve the rheological properties of dough by farmers living in some part of Turkey. The addition of C. syriaca flour to sunn pest-damaged wheat significantly affected the physical, technological and rheological properties of the sunn pestdamaged wheat flour and dough and improved the bread-making quality. Thus, the deteriorated dough-kneading properties induced by sunn pest-damaged wheat can be slightly improved by C. syriaca flour supplementation.

Phenolic Composition and Antioxidant Activity of Plants Belonging to the Cephalaria (Caprifoliaceae) Genus

“…Extracts from various species of Cephalaria have been used in traditional medicine for many years due to their antimicrobial, antifungal, cytotoxic, antioxidant, antidiabetic and hypothermic activities [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. These plants are used in folk medicine to cure cardiac and lung diseases, rheumatism, and regulate menstruation [ 32 , 33 ]. Moreover, they are used in veterinary medicine and agriculture, as a wool dye and as an additive to bread [ 34 , 35 ].…”

“…Farinograph DDT is an essential indicator of protein quality of flour and strong flour has been reported to have a higher DDT than weaker ones (Karababa and Ozan, 1998). It is reported that the ST is a parameter indicating the flour strength, tolerance of flour to kneading and that strong flours have high ST (Basar et al, 2016).…”

“…The rheological properties of the dough prepared from wheat flour can be evaluated by various methods such as farinograph, extensograph, mixograph and alveograph (Diósi et al, 2015;Aslan and Gul, 2016;Gul et al, 2017;Dizlek and Ozer, 2017a). The farinograph test is the essential in terms of being a basic analysis that reveals the rheological properties and bread qualities of flour during kneading (Basar et al, 2016). The most critical rheological properties of dough are often described as resistance (elasticity), strength and extensibility (EX) are determined by Extensograph (Dizlek and Ozer, 2017a).…”

“…к муке из поврежденных вредной черепашкой зерен пшеницы по данным оценки на фаринографе существенно улучшало реологические характеристики клейковины. Такая добавка традиционно используется в Турции для улучшения хлебопекарных качеств муки (Başar et al, 2016). Для восстановления вязкоэластичных свойств и газоудерживающей способности клейковины из поврежденных клопами зерен часто используют подходы, аналогичные тем, что обычно применяют для улучшения качества муки и теста, в т.ч.…”
