Effect of RS4 Resistant Starch on Dietary Fiber Content of White Pan Bread

Bread flour was replaced with 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25% phosphorylated cross-linked RS4 resistant wheat starch and augmented with vital wheat gluten to maintain original flour protein content. Effect on dough and bread characteristics, total dietary fiber content, and consumer acceptability were evaluated. Mixograph water absorption was not affected by addition of 5, 10, and 15% RS4; however, a significant 2% increase in absorption occurred with 20 and 25% RS4 addition. Mixograph mix time was increased by 15 s with the addition of 5, 10, and 15% RS4, by 30 s with 20% added RS4, and by 45 s with 25% added RS4. There was not a difference in farinograph absorption of doughs containing all levels of added RS4. Farinograph mixing time increased as addition level increased up to 15% and then decreased at higher addition levels. In general, dough strength and extensibility were not affected by RS4 addition. Levels of added RS4 up to 20% did not affect bread volume. Loaves with 15, 20, and 25% added RS4 contained sufficient fiber to meet the good source of fiber claim. A consumer sensory panel reported no difference in liking of flavor, texture, or overall liking of bread containing 15, 20, and 25% RS4.
