Evaluation Of Four Baking Temperature Regimes And Their Effects On Shelf Stability Of Bread Loaves

The work was done to determine the effects of baking temperature on the proximate, micronutrient, microbial and sensory properties of bread. The breads were baked at four different temperatures of 190, 200, 210 and 220 0C for BT1, BT2, BT3 and BT4 respectively. The protein ranged from 10.53% to 12.42% and a significant (p < 0.05) difference existed between the samples. The crude fibre ranged from 1.50% to 1.70% and a significant difference existed between samples BT1, BT2, BT3 and BT4. The fat content which ranged from 2.64% - 2.88% showed no significant (p>0.05) difference between the samples…
