Description

Technical Field

[0001] A method for making corn husk soluble dietary fiber bread belongs to the field of food processing technology. Specifically, it involves the application of corn by-products in bread making, ultimately obtaining bread products with good network structure and flavor, and providing a basis for the application of corn by-products in bread processing. Background Technology

[0002] Corn husks are rich in bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, anthocyanins, polysaccharides, and dietary fiber, which have pharmacological effects such as scavenging free radicals, regulating blood lipids, preventing atherosclerosis, and lowering blood sugar. Fresh corn husks, as a rich and widely available source of dietary fiber, are utilized at a very low rate, often being used as animal feed or dumped as waste, failing to rationally utilize their value and causing serious resource waste and environmental pollution. Effectively utilizing inexpensive and readily available corn husk resources for deep processing to produce high-quality dietary fiber can maximize resource value. Soluble dietary fiber intake helps lower cholesterol and blood sugar, and prevents hypertension and colon cancer. Ball milling for soluble dietary fiber extraction has unique advantages in improving the processing characteristics of plant-based food raw materials and can meet production needs.

[0003] Bread is a traditional food made primarily from flour through fermentation and baking processes. It boasts a long history and a broad consumer base. The production process mainly includes kneading, fermentation, shaping, and baking. Yeast or other leavening agents are added to make the dough rise, resulting in a soft texture and unique flavor. Bread is not only an important staple food in daily diets, but also holds a significant place among snack foods due to its rich nutrition, seasonal availability, palatability, and portability.

[0004] With the improvement of living standards and changes in lifestyle, the types and styles of bread are becoming increasingly diverse, and the precision of bread processing is constantly improving, leading to health risks such as post-meal blood sugar spikes and excessive calorie intake. Adding soluble dietary fiber to bread increases its volume and water retention, improves its antioxidant capacity, and enhances its cholesterol absorption capacity. On the other hand, it can also solve the problem of utilizing the by-products—residues—in corn husk production, maximizing resource utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to improve upon the high energy content of traditional bread. Furthermore, the production of corn husk soluble dietary fiber bread provides a practical method for utilizing byproducts in corn production, maximizing resource utilization and contributing to resource conservation and environmental protection.

[0006] Technical solution: A method for making corn husk soluble dietary fiber bread, specifically including the following steps: (1) Raw material pretreatment: Fresh corn husks are washed after removing soil and impurities, dried to constant weight, and ground and pulverized in a planetary ball mill. 0.5g α-amylase, 0.1g neutral protease and 0.1g saccharifying enzyme are added for extraction to obtain corn husk soluble dietary fiber products. (2) Mixing the flour: Mix soluble dietary fiber with 250g of high-gluten flour in a certain proportion; (3) Making the dough: Mix the prepared powder, 10g of milk powder, 22.5g of sugar, 2.5g of salt, 125mL of water, 30g of butter and 2.5g of yeast thoroughly and knead into a dough; (4) Fermentation: Place the kneaded dough into a container and seal it with plastic wrap. Place it in a constant temperature fermentation box for fermentation. Fermentation box parameters: temperature 30℃, humidity 60%RH, fermentation time 30min. (5) Shaping and proofing: Knead the dough into a smooth ball, place it on an oiled baking tray, and proof it at 38°C and 60% relative humidity until it doubles in size; (6) Baking: The dough was baked in a regular oven at 160°C for 10 minutes to obtain bread samples.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention applies soluble dietary fiber from corn husks to bread and its preparation method. The soluble dietary fiber is mixed evenly with yeast, flour, sugar, etc., and then kneaded into dough. The dough is then fermented, shaped, proofed, and baked to obtain corn husk soluble dietary fiber bread. Applying soluble dietary fiber to bread increases its volume and water-holding capacity, and improves its antioxidant capacity. Furthermore, it recycles and utilizes corn processing byproducts, providing a new and practical method for addressing the problem of residue utilization in corn production. This not only enriches the variety of bread on the market but also improves resource utilization, thus playing a role in resource conservation and environmental protection.
