Abstract
Summary In this study, recombinant dough and simulated dough medium were used to study the effect of different glucose levels on quality of dough. With the increase of glucose levels (3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 g/100 g mixed flour) in recombinant dough, the water absorption and extensibility of the dough decreased significantly. Compared with the sugar‐free medium, the maximum height of the dough added with glucose gradually increased, and the CO 2 retention rate decreased slightly. The glucose levels in the dough changed the water mobility and distribution. Compared with 3% glucose levels, yeast produced much more glycerol content and ethanol content in 6% and 15% glucose medium, which affected rheological properties of dough. Different glucose levels affected the fermentation state of yeast and metabolites significantly, 3% glucose medium was more suitable for the dough fermentation and growth of yeast during dough fermentation.
