Original scientific paper INFLUENCE OF ADDITIVE FROM SUGAR BEET ON

The additive of acceptable sensory, physical and chemical and microbiological cha-racteristics was made from cossettes. Great water binding capacity, related to microcrys-tals of cellulose qualifies this additive as a desired one in bread making process. Bread was baked in the laboratory and patent flour was used. The additive with par-ticles smaller than 95 µm was supplemented in the quantities of 2, 5 and 10%. The data related to the influence of the quantity of additive on white bread quality point that parallel to increasing the amount of the additive in the dough, yield of dough and bread were also increased. Negative effects are detected as volume depression and inferior bread crumb quality and altered crumb color. The decrease in bread quality is small if 2 % of additive was applied, but significant with 5 and 10%. The bread freshness was highly graded 48 hours after baking due to the ability of the additive to retain water. On the whole, bread of superior quality supplemented by 5 and 10 % of the additive from sugar beet fiber can be easily made by fortifying flour with gluten and by adding appropri-ate dough conditioner
