Take me to the Registration Info:
Soybeans have great potential for human food use because of their high level of protein and their functional and nutritional properties. One of the most promising uses of soybeans is in bakery products. For example, the addition of soy flour to bread products can raise protein content, balance essential amino acids, and increase bread’s nutritional value.
Other advantages of using soy in baked products are increased shelf-life, better crust color, improved water retention/decreased fat absorption in fried products, nutty flavor, more tender finished sweet goods, and the ability to use a health claim. For the baking industry, the addition of specialty soy flour can result in value-added baked goods.
This course will highlight the use of soy ingredients in baking applications, by elaborating physical dough properties, baked product quality, technical specifications of soy ingredients and regulations and health claim issues in U.S. Different types of breads and other bakery products will be demonstrated to highlight various functional properties of adding products. Considerable amount of time will spent in the laboratory doing hands-on baking.
