BACKGROUND: The effects of phenolic acids on the physical properties of soft wheat flour dough and baked soft wheat flour products were investigated. Transglutaminase (TG) was added to observe the effects of non‐disulfide crosslinks on phenolic acid treated dough. Ferulic acid, p ‐coumaric acid or fumaric acid was blended with pastry flour at a level of 250, 500 or 1000 ppm of flour dry weight, respectively. RESULTS: The addition of phenolic acids, TG or a mixture of phenolic acids and TG to flour had no effect on the mixing properties of the doughs but significantly affected 90 min rested dough. The addition of phenolic acids decreased the maximum resistance and increased the extensibility of 90 min rested dough, and TG reversed the effects of phenolic acids on the rested dough. The physical characteristics of cookies blended with each phenolic acid plus TG were not significantly different ( P > 0.01) from those of the control cookies. However, TG with and without phenolic acids had significant effects on the moisture content, weight and volume of crackers. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the addition of phenolic acids and TG in the absence of a fermentation process do not affect the physical properties of soft wheat flour products. The fermentation process allows the chemical reaction of the phenolic acids and TG to occur before the soft wheat flour products are baked. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry
