The Challenge
Wheat free and gluten-free bread with a high nutritive value
Assignment:Development of a multi-grain bread enriched with omega 3 fatty acids.
Solution: Food technologists at the Food Research Lab developed a multigrain bread for weight management and chronic diseases like diabetes. The multigrain bread was developed based on whole-grain cereals, traditional ancient millets and pseudocereals (e.g. quinoa, buckwheat), protein isolates along with novel and functional ingredients to increase its pharmaceutical value.
The texture profile analysis was acceptable. Compared to the bread available in the market, the formulated was an excellent source of fibre, protein, and Omega–3 fatty acids.Our formulated bread complies with food labelling requirements for the nutrient content claim of “High in Protein”, “Protein-Rich ” and “Excellent source of protein”.
The claim requires that the finished product contains at least 20% protein per reference amount customarily consumer per eating occasion (RACC) or 10-gram protein per serving of 50g of the product (the Title 21, Part 101, Subpart D of the Code of Federal Regulations, established the specific requirements for nutrient content claims).
