Abstract:Bamboo shoots are rich in nutrient. In order to study the effect of bamboo shoot powder on the texture properties on dough and bread. Different amounts of bamboo shoot powder (0%, 3%, 5%, 7%) were added into wheat flour to make bread, and the dough gluten protein and bread color, sensory and texture characteristics were investigated. With the increase of bamboo shoot powder content,dough gluten protein were decreased, bread hardness and chew ability were increased. The addition of low dose bamboo shoot powder (3% -5%) had no significant effect on the pH value and gluten content of dough (p < 0.05), the wet gluten content of 7% addition amount decreased by 9.87%, which had a significant effect. The addition of bamboo shoot powder was negatively correlated with the specific volume and water loss of bread. The water loss rates of blank group and addition group (3%, 5%, 7%) were 2.45%, 2.09%, 2.17%, 1.77% respectively, Significant changes were observed in hardness, gelatinization, elasticity and chewiness of bread (p < 0.05). The cohesion and recovery of bread were not significantly different (p < 0.05). Sensory evaluation showed that the color of bread were enhanced by adding the bamboo shoot powder, and more fragrance were developed. Deeper color and strongest bamboo shoot flavor were observed in the bread of 7% addition . Therefore low dose (3% -5%) of bamboo shoot powder enhanced bread chewiness, stronger color , more nutritious, strong water retention, which can delay the aging of bread.
