Abstract

Three kinds of improvers; pectin, GMS and a commercial emulsifi­er Advitacel 1614 were used to evaluate their effect on the rheological properties of pan bread and macaroni products produced from whole wheat. The improvers were used in the ratios 1, 2 and 3% for pectin and Avitacel 1614 and 1, 1.5 and 2 for GMS. Whole wheat pan bread with good freshness, excellent crumb grain and highly acceptability was pro­duced using 2% level of pectin; 1% of GMS and 1% level of advitacel. 1614. Also, a good cooking quality of macroni with excellent appear­ance, texture and general acceptance was produced by using 2% level of pectin. The resuls suggested pectin and emulsifiers can be used as im­provers contributing to optimum functional properties of whole wheat pan bread and macaroni.
