Abstract

Four types of sorghum grains flour were blended with wheat flour in the ratios of 30 : 70 and 50 : 50 for bread making. The sorghum types were Dorado, Giza 15, W65405 and P8319. Gas production during fermentation, organoletic evaluation of the produced bread and the stal­ing rate of bread during storage were determined. The results showed that, Dorado (30%) and W65405 (30%) were the best blends for pro­ducing acceptable bread. Conditioners should be added when sorghum is used in bread production to improve the sensory evaluation and bread staling.
