10、nt locations(Chen et al.,2013).Because of these advantages,the freezingtechnology has been used for several viennoiseries,such as crois-sants(Le-Bail,Nicolitch,&Vuillod,2010).However,the freezingprocess used to prepare the frozen dough can induce many nega-tive effects on the quality of baked produc

13、First,theice crystals formed within yeast cells can have cell membranes bedamaged during the freezing procedure and ultimately decreasetheir viability(Muldrew&McGann,1990).Additionally,if the icecrystals only form in the dough matrix(and not in or through thecells),the concentration of salts,sugars,

17、ntrolling the freezingconditions(Yi&Kerr,2009a).Notably,the freezing rate(FR)is oneof the parameters used to regulate ice crystal size in the foodfreezing process(Petzold&Aguilera,2009),and many studiesexplored the relationship between the FR and baked productsquality(Le-Bail et al.,2010).Moreover,t
18、he storage temperature iswell known for its important influence on ice crystal growth duringfrozen storage and on bread quality after baking(Phimolsiripol,Siripatrawan,Tulyathan,&Cleland,2008).A slower freezing process can result in larger ice crystals in thedough than rapid freezing,and larger ice

20、yeast viability in thedough(Selomulyo&Zhou,2007).Therefore,to produce goodbreads,the optimal FR should be determined empirically from acomplex consideration of both yeast viability and gluten networkintegrity.The FR is a very significant factor affecting the quality of breadbaked from frozen dough,a
21、s referred to earlier.Nevertheless,as faras we know,there was no study for frozen croissant dough focusingon determining the optimal dough FR.Moreover,even in manystudies for freezing process of general frozen bread doughs,theresearchers have only focused on the suitable temperature for longtime sto
22、rage not mentioned the appropriate terminal temperaturefor freezing process(Yi&Kerr,2009a,2009b).Despite the fact that frozendough ice crystals nucleateand growduring the freezing stage,analyses using cooling curves underdifferential scanning calorimetry(DSC)were rarely used in studiesassessing ice
23、crystal formation relative to the FR.Actually,manyresearchers thoroughly studied the frozen dough ice crystal for-mation process using DSC heating curves(Bot,2003;Chen,Jansson,Lustrup,&Swenson,2012;Kontogiorgos,Goff,&Kasapis,2008).Consequently,in this study,the freezing process was controlled bythe
24、FR and terminal freezing temperature of the croissant dough.Lastly,we investigated the ice crystal formation phenomenon inintact dough using DSC thermograms.Additionally,we analysedthe internal structure of the dough using SEM micrographs duringthe cooling part of the freezing procedure to evaluate
25、the beneficialeffects of a controlled freezing method on croissant quality.2.Material and methods2.1.Samples preparationTwo kinds of commercial flours and white sugar were gifted bySamyang Genex Co.,Korea;flour 1 was composed of 72.5%carbo-hydrates,12.5%protein,0.6%fat,14%water,and 0.4%ashes and flo
26、ur2 was composed of 75%carbohydrates,9.5%protein,0.6%fat,14.5%water,and 0.4%ashes.Fresh compressed yeast(Ottugi Fresh YeastGold,Ottugi Co.,Ltd.,Korea),eggs,unsalted butter(Samyang GenexCo.,Korea),butter for rolling(Pastry Sheet Gold,Samyang GenexCo.,Korea),and refined salt(Beksul,CJ Cheiljedang Co.,
27、Korea)wereobtained from the local market.A dough was prepared using thefollowing recipe:275 g of flour 1,150 g of flour 2,40 g of whitesugar,6.25 g of refined salt,20 g of freshyeast,100 g of eggs,162.5 gof water,12.5 g of unsalted butter,and 250 g of cold butter forrolling.The flours,sugar,salt,and
28、 yeast were blended for 2 minusing a mixer at speed 2(Kenwood titanium major kitchen ma-chine,KM020,UK).Then,water and eggs were added,and themixture was blended for 2.5 min at speed 1 before adding butterand the dough was kneaded for 3 min at speed 1.Then,the doughwas placed in a 4?C refrigerator f
29、or the first 30 min of resting.Fordough layering,the cold butter spread was placed on the dough,shaped in a 30 cm by 30 cm square after resting,and wrapped withthe pressed out part of the dough.The dough with the cold butterwas folded three times and allowed to rest in a refrigerator for5 min(second
30、 resting).After the second resting,the dough foldingprocedure was repeated twice,with resting steps of 15 and 30 min.After the fourth resting,the dough was rolled and cut into isoscelestriangle shaped(base,10 cm;height,15 cm;and thickness,3 mm)and each triangle was rolled until the dough overlaps th
31、ree times.Freezing system was composed of two parts:a freezer(FD-170-SF,Unique Daesung Co.,Ltd.,Gyeonggi,Korea)and an adiabatic box.The styrofoam adiabatic box had two large holes on opposite sides,one of which was occupied by an electric fan,and a sample loadingrack at center of the box.The FR of t
32、he dough was controlled by acombination of two means,namely the temperature of the cold airof the freezer,and the convection induced by the electric fan.Additionally,the terminal dough freezing temperature was definedas the point when the temperature at the center of the doughreached either?20,?40,o
33、r?55?C.During the freezing process,the temperature change at the center of the dough was monitoredusing a data logger(Agilent 34970A,Agilent Technologies Inc.,Santa Clara,CA,USA).The FR of the samples was calculated on thebasis of the freezing profiles showed in the Fig.1,using the defi-nition provi
34、ded by the International Institute of Refrigeration(Bgh-Srensen,2006):FR Tt?Ti=twhere,Ttis the sample terminaltemperature,Tiis the sample initialtemperature,andDt is the time difference to reach Ttfrom Ti.Whenthe dough reached its pre-defined Tt,a frozen sample was packagedin a polyethylene bag and

38、n(MA921SBT,LG DIOS,Seoul,Korea)at 180?C for20 min.After baking the croissants,theywere cooled for 1 h prior tosubsequent analyses.2.2.Determination of croissant qualityThe croissant volume was measured using a laser-based VolscanProfiler 600(Stable Micro Systems,UK).On the basis of loaf volumeand we
39、ight of the croissants,a specific volume value wascalculated.A compression test was conducted to determine the croissantfirmness using a texture analyser(TA-XT2i,Texture Technologies,Scarsdale,NY,USA)based on a method modified from AACC 74-09(AACC,1986).The croissant samples were placed at the cente
40、r ofthe base in the texture analyser.The measurement was performedusing an aluminum cylindrical probe(diameter,50 mm)to pressthe sample until reaching 40%of deformation at a speed of1.7 mm s?1.The maximum force obtained from the force-deformation curve was used as the firmness value.2.3.Croissant do
41、ugh yeast viability measurementYeast viability was defined as the number of viable yeasts in thedough,and measured using a modified version of the AACC 42e50(AACC,2000).The frozen dough was taken out of the storagefreezer and thawed at 25?C for 90 min.The thawed dough wasplaced in a Filter-bag(Labpl
42、as,Canada),diluted tenfold withpeptone water(2 mg mL?1),and homogenised for 2 min using astomacher WS-400(Shanghai Zhisun Equipment Co.Ltd.,Shanghai,China).Then,the samples were appropriately re-diluted withpeptonewater(2 mg mL?1).One milliliterof the diluted suspensionwas cultured on Sabouraud Dext
43、rose Agar(Difco,Detroit,MI,USA)and incubated for 48 h in a chamber at 30?C before the yeastviability of the frozen dough was calculated.2.4.Thermal characterisation of croissant dough and yeastThe thermal characteristics of the croissant dough and com-pressed yeast were determined by DSC(Diamond DSC
44、PerkinElmer,Waltham,MA,USA).Prior to the freezing procedure,doughsamples weighing between 14.8 and 24.2 mg were collected fromthe central part of the dough and from the fresh yeast,respectively.Samples were placed in a hermetic aluminum pan,which was thensealed.An empty pan was used as the referenc

46、determined and the timevalues between each onset(tonset)and end(tend)exothermic peakwere extracted using the Pyris 7 DSC data processing software(Perkin Elmer,Waltham,MA,USA)to characterise the formation ofice crystals in the dough.In addition,a DSC scan of the yeast wasperformed from 25 to?30?C wit
