The diversity in the global food market is expanding as thousands of new products enter the business every year, among which nutraceutical and functional foods hold important positions. The present research work aimed at the nutritional evaluation of three medicinal herbs, i.e., turmeric ( L.), ginger (), and black cumin (). A bread formulation was enriched with the individual/combined supplementation (1-3%) of these herbs. Later, the bread was analyzed for nutritional, rheological, textural, and sensorial characteristics. The results revealed that the herbs improved the nutritional composition of bread, especially ash and fiber, as the maximum ash and fiber contents were noticed in T (2.0% dried powder of each plant) with values of 1.64 ± 0.04% and 4.63 ± 0.16%, respectively. The results regarding the rheological behavior showed minor variations in the rheological traits and a slight increase in dough development time up to 4.50 ± 0.20 min in T from 2.80 ± 0.13 min in T. The sensorial attributes also indicated their marked suitability as external and internal characteristics were least affected by the addition of the herbs. Although some parameters like the crust and crumb colors were affected by the addition of black cumin, showing values of 6.25 ± 0.52 and 4.44 ± 0.19, respectively, in T, and aroma characteristics were affected by the addition of ginger, supplementation with a combination of herbs at lower doses mitigated the adverse effects of other herbs. Moreover, shelf-life extension, especially with the addition of turmeric powder, was the hallmark of this research. This study concluded that medicinal herbs can be incorporated into baked products to improve the nutritional and sensorial attributes of functional herbal bread.
随着每年成千上万种新产品进入市场,全球食品市场的多样性正在不断扩大,其中营养保健品和功能性食品占据重要地位。目前的研究工作旨在对三种药草进行营养评估,即姜黄(L.)、生姜()和黑孜然()。一种面包配方通过单独/组合添加(1 - 3%)这些药草进行了强化。随后,对面包的营养、流变学、质地和感官特性进行了分析。结果表明,这些药草改善了面包的营养成分,尤其是灰分和纤维,因为在T(每种植物2.0%干粉)中观察到最高的灰分和纤维含量,分别为1.64±0.04%和4.63±0.16%。关于流变行为的结果表明,流变特性有微小变化,面团形成时间略有增加,在T中从2.80±0.13分钟增加到4.50±0.20分钟。感官属性也表明它们具有显著的适用性,因为外部和内部特性受药草添加的影响最小。尽管一些参数如面包皮和面包心颜色受黑孜然添加的影响,在T中分别显示为6.25±0.52和4.44±0.19,香气特性受生姜添加的影响,但以较低剂量组合添加药草减轻了其他药草的不利影响。此外,延长保质期,尤其是添加姜黄粉,是本研究的一大特点。本研究得出结论,药草可以添加到烘焙产品中,以改善功能性草药面包的营养和感官属性。
