Gluten Free Bread: a Technological Approach Hari Niwas Mishra

With the increase in the demand of gluten free products, the food industry has stepped up to the formulation challenges associated with removing the protein from dough mixes. Further, in an era where coeliac disease and the availability of gluten-free foods have become so topical, few research work deals with this complex area of gluten free product development. This book presents a research work in which alternative ingredients were tested, bulking agents were examined and different processing methods were developed and optimization of gluten free bread was done using response surface methodology. Using the application of image processing the bread browning kinetics were evaluated and mathematical models were proposed to predict the development of browning during baking. Storage stability were also examined. Finally, I hope that this research work will open the door for the development of gluten free products and that it will serve as a long-term source of knowledge and enlightenment for the reader.
