Impact of Soy-Cow's mixed milk enzyme modified cheese on bread aroma

The effect of spray-dried Soy-Cow's mixed milk enzyme modified (SC-EM) cheese on wheat dough properties and bread aroma was evaluated at either 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0% (w/w). Significant accumulation of amino acids and peptides of dough were noted as SC-EM cheese levels increased. After baking a total of 118 volatile compounds (VCs) were identified in breads having aldehydes, alcohols, esters and acids in major proportions. Higher contents of Maillard product 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, 2-methyl-1-propanol, phenylethyl alcohol, undecane, L-limonene, 2-pentyl furan and lipid oxidation compounds hexanoic acid ethyl ester, octanoic acid ethyl ester, decanoic acid ethyl ester, butanoic acid, hexanoic acid and octanoic acid were observed. Isoamyl alcohol, lactic acid ethyl ester, ethyl sorbate and sorbic acid were the newly identified VCs. These results revealed that SCEM cheese could be used as improver in dough and contribution to bread aroma. Thus, SC-EM cheese has been proposed to be included in fortified bakery products.

Automated summary

The study evaluated the impact of spray-dried Soy-Cow's mixed milk enzyme modified (SC-EM) cheese on wheat dough properties and bread aroma at different levels. It was found that higher levels of SC-EM cheese led to significant accumulation of amino acids and peptides in the dough, contributing to the bread aroma. The study identified a total of 118 volatile compounds in the bread, with newly identified compounds such as isoamyl alcohol, lactic acid ethyl ester, ethyl sorbate and sorbic acid. The results suggest that SC-EM cheese could be used as an improver in dough and enhance bread aroma, supporting its inclusion in fortified bakery products.
