QUALITY TRAITS OF FLOUR AND BREAD Teofil Ellmann University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz 1 Abstract. This article presents quality evaluation of flour and bread from winter wheat grain cv. Bogatka, obtained from the field experiment conducted in the years Experimental factors included: plant protection (extensive, intensive), nitrogen fertilization (60, 100, 140, 180 kg ha -1 ), harvest time (optimum and delayed for 2 weeks) as well as the grain storage time. Directly after the harvest and after a half-year storage, quality evaluation of flour and bread baked from it was conducted. Determination included: sedimentation index, falling number and water absorption of flour, as well as volume and density of bread crumb. Organoleptic evaluation of its quality was also conducted. Intensive plant protection, nitrogen fertilization of 140 and 180 kg N ha -1, grain harvest at optimum time and its short storage guaranteed obtaining flour of good quality parameters. Bread baked from it was characterized by good volume, porosity and texture of crumb, crust colour, good smell and taste. Bread baked from flour from wheat grain which was fertilized with 60 kg N ha -1, after extensive agrophage control and delayed harvest time, was characterized by a large number of irregular pores, dense crumb, lower elasticity, as well as by a crust which was cracked, too dark and coming off the crumb. Key words: baking quality of flour, grain storage time, level of nitrogen fertilization, plant protection level, porosity and texture of crumb, time of harvest, volume INTRODUCTION Wheat grain intended for consumption purposes must be characterized by high technological quality determined by milling grain quality and baking quality of flour. These traits are determined by, among others, agricultural techniques [Rothhakel and Kosiewicz 1988, Gudaczewski et al. 1999, Podolska et al. 2004, 2005]. The most important factors of agricultural techniques affecting the grain quality should include: Corresponding author Adres do korespondencji: dr inż.

Technological properties of grain are also determined by a method and length of time of grain storage [Podolska and Sułek 2002, Sypuła and Dadrzyńska 2008]. Storage of too moist grain causes increase of temperature and irreversible quality deterioration as well as large losses leading to its disqualification [Gudaczewski et al. 1999, Janowicz 2007]. Occurring quality changes concern, among others, formation of the quantity and quality of gluten, sedimentation index, falling number and rheological traits of a dough [Marciniak 2005, Miś 2005, Sypuła and Dadrzyńska 2008]. It was assumed that quality of flour and bread depends on the applied agricultural techniques and time of grain storage, and the aim of the research was determination of the correlative effect of intensity of plant protection against agrophages, nitrogen rate, harvest time and grain storage time on bread quality. MATERIAL AND METHODS Field experiment methodology and meteorological conditions have been presented in the first part of the paper [Ellmann 2011]. Evaluation of the bread quality traits and baking of the bread were conducted on two dates: 3 weeks and 6 months after the harvest. Determination included: flour sedimentation index (SI) according to Zeleny in accordance with PN-93/A standard, flour falling number on the basis of alpha-amylase enzyme activity (according to PN-ISO 3093), flour water absorption testing water absorption capacity via studied flour of proper moisture, measuring range 45-65%, measuring temperature 30ºC, test time 3-4 minutes (PN-ISO ), bread volume and crumb density on the basis of measurement on the scale of volume level of a given bread sample expressed in milliliters; bread volume per 100 g of bread: Vś r V ml g where: V śr mean volume, ml, g weight of 1 loaf, in grams, organoleptic evaluation of bread bread was baked in a laboratory with a fermentation chamber for conducting test baking, with a possibility to program temperature and control moisture, which created perfect and always uniform conditions for growing and baking. After the test baking, the bread was evaluated organoleptically (bread shape, appearance of the surface, colour and elasticity of the crust, crunchiness, colour, porosity, crumb elasticity, smell and taste of the bread) according to PN-A Obtained numerical material was statistically elaborated with the use of variance of analysis of traits in the design: factors constant, years as replications.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Sedimentation index is a parameter which testifies to the quantity and quality of gluten [Podolska 2008]. In the conducted experiment, Zeleny s sedimentation index increased under the effect of intensification of plant protection and of increase of fertilization. More effective protection against agrophages affected improvement of this index by 4 ml. Increase of the rate of the applied nitrogen from 60 kg ha -1 improved this trait up to the rate of 180 kg N ha -1 (Table 1). Its value was 32.6 ml and 50.9 ml, respectively. Budzyński et al. [2004], Gianibelli and Sarandon [1991], Klupczyński et al. [2001], Podolska and Sułek [2002] as well as Piekarczyk [2010], also found that nitrogen fertilization favorably affects the value of sedimentation index. In Podolska s [2008] research, it increased up to the rate of 180 kg N ha -1. Delay in harvest time and half-year grain storage did not affect this trait. Rothkaehl and Kosiewicz [1998] state that this index undergoes deterioration. Table 1. Zeleny sedimentation index of flour, ml Tabela 1.

Intensification of nitrogen fertilization from 60 to 180 kg ha -1 increased the value of this trait by 5%, intensive protection by 4%, and half-year grain storage by 5% (Table 2). The result of the harvest delay is often grain sprouting, and in consequence deterioration of the falling number [Dominquez and Cejudo 1996, Ceglińska et al. 2002, Podolska et al. 2004, Ellmann and Sadkiewicz 2005, Miś 2005]. In own research, this index was above 300 s. Sadkiewicz et al. [1988] think that flour of such parameters is not suitable for individual bread baking and it should be mixed with flour of lower falling number. Harvest delay for two weeks compared with the optimum harvest time resulted in the decrease of falling number value by 5%. Agricultura 10(3)2011

Increase of the amount of applied nitrogen improved this trait also when applied at a rate of 180 kg N ha -1. Podolska and Sułek [2002] also proved that higher nitrogen fertilization favorably affects water absorption. In the research of Miś [2005], delay of wheat harvest after optimum time, had no effect on this trait. Storage under optimum conditions, improved water absorption of flour [Kontacilar et al. 1997, Miś 2005]. Baking quality of wheat flour to a high degree is determined by genetic conditioning of a given cultivar [Podolska and Sułek 2002], however volume and bread yield was determined by gluten quality and water absorption index of flour [Miś 2005]. Bread volume is an important distinguishing factor of its quality and one of the elements determining its expiry date [Phan-Thien and Safari-Ardi 1997, Ellmann and Sadkiewicz 2005, Miś 2005]. Standard volume should be minimum V 100 = 200 cm 3 [PN-A-74022]. Mean crumb volume in the material obtained in the experiment was higher, V 100 = 335 cm 3 (Table 4). Harvest delay caused its increase by 2%, grain storage for half a year increased crumb volume by 4%, however these factors were not correlative. No effect of nitrogen fertilization or of level of agricultural techniques was observed on this parameter. Acta Sci. Pol.

6 42 T. Ellmann 2010]. Increase of nitrogen fertilization from 60 to 100 and 140 kg ha -1 resulted in the decrease of crumb density by 4%, and from 60 kg to 180 N ha -1 by 10% (Table 5). In the research of Cacak-Pietrzak et al. [1999] it was found that increase of nitrogen rate from 40 to 80 kg ha -1 only in some cultivars caused an increase of this value. Delayed harvest caused a decrease of crumb density. These results are in accordance with the ones obtained by Dominquez and Cejudo [1996] as well as Podolska and Sułek [2002]. Table 5.

On the basis of the evaluation of volume, porosity and crumb texture, crust colour, smell and taste of bread, it was found that bread obtained from winter wheat grain harvested from plots fertilized with a rate of 140 and 180 kg N ha -1 was the best. Harvest time and grain storage did not differentiate significantly the distinguishing factors of quality. Bread had a proper appearance and shape given by the baking tin, and the crust was reddish-brown and shiny, close-fitting to the crumb and lacking cracks (Fig. 1). The crumb had a proper colour, was elastic, of uniform porosity and of a very good taste. Fig. 1.

7 Effect of intensity... Part II. Quality Bread baked from flour obtained from wheat grain fertilized with 60 kg N ha -1, extensively protected, with a delayed harvest, was characterized by a higher number of irregular pores, more compact crumb, and also by lower elasticity. The crust was cracked, too dark and going off the crumb. In general evaluation, it was a bread of lower quality (Fig. 2). Fig. 2. Rys. 2. Extensive plant protection, fertilization of 60 kg N ha -1, delayed harvest time, half-year storage Ekstensywna ochrona roślin, nawożenie 60 kg N ha -1, opóźniony termin zbioru, półroczne przechowywanie CONCLUSIONS The best flour was obtained from winter wheat grain harvested at the optimum time from plots which were intensively protected, fertilized with nitrogen at a rate of 140 and 180 N ha -1. Bread baked from this flour was characterized by the best volume, porosity and texture of crumb, crust colour, smell and taste. Bread had a shape given by the baking tin. The crust was reddish-brown and shiny, closely fitting to the crumb, lacking cracks. The worst quality was characteristic of the flour from the grain harvested from the combination of extensive plant protection against agrophages, fertilized with 60 kg N ha -1, with a delayed harvest time and a half-year storage. Bread baked from this flour was characterized by a large number of irregular pores, compact crumb, lower elasticity, the crust was cracked, too dark and was going off the crumb.
