The Physical Properties of Wheat Flour Extrudates with Added Phenolic Acids

The effects of phenolic acids on the physical properties of wheat flour extrudate were investigated. Ferulic acid, fumaric acid, and p-coumaric acid were mixed with hard wheat flour, respectively, and extruded under a twin screw extruder. We found that by adding the phenolic acids, longitudinal expansion at the die increased, textural hardness decreased, and the water absorption capacity of the extrudate decreased. The results showed that the addition of phenolic acids produced a softer textured, more longitudinally puffed and hydrophobic extrudate compared to the control extrudate. Moreover, the addition of phenolic acids did not significantly affect the color of the extrudate: oxidative browning of the phenolic acids was not observed, due to inactivation of the browning enzymes under the hot temperature and reduced oxygen conditions of the extrusion process.
