Lycium barbarum pulp addition improves the dough properties and gluten protein structure.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the effects of Lycium barbarum pulp (LBP) on the properties of mixed dough and gluten protein. The results showed that appropriate addition of LBP (5 %) significantly improved the performance of the dough, promoted the aggregation of gluten protein, enhanced the water binding ability, and delayed the gelatinization of starch during cooking. Compared with the control group, the peak temperature (T_p) of the LBP sample gradually increased from 63.23 °C to 65.56 °C, the expansion force reduced by about 21.56 %, the absolute Zeta potential lowered by about 18.4 %, and the α -helix content and β -folding increased by 32.36 % and 10.23 %, respectively, indicating the more orderly and stable overall structure. However, LBP did not change the crystal configuration of starch and still showed typical type A line diffraction. Moreover, the addition of LBP increased the polyphenol content, which further improved the antioxidant properties and provided the possibility to improve the health potential of the flour.
