Abstract

Preparation of Gluten-free bread using gluten-free cereals appears to be necessary for people with Celiac disease in which the patients suffers from gluten sensitivity. For this purpose, blends of corn and chickpea at concentrations of 80.20, 60.40, 40.60 and 20.80 with 3% HPMC gums to provide this type of bread was studied. For quality evaluation of breads, some factors such as; specific volume, density, oven spring, shape index (height/width ratio), porosity, texture analysis and microstructure were studied. The texture and microstructure of samples were investigated within first& second days and 24 hours after cooking, respectively. Overall, by making gluten-like network in the bread crumb, chickpea flour was able to increase the specific volume, oven spring, shape index and porosity, and decreased the gluten-free bread density accordingly. Chickpea flour increases moisture content of the gluten-free bread and decreases hardness of the bread crumb as the result. According to all performed tests, it was shown that a formulation of 20% maize flour with +80% chickpea flour has greatest effect on improving the quality.
