Single-Cell Protein Substitution in a Bread System: Rheological Properties and Product Quality.

The effects of substitution of 0, 3, 6, and 12% single cell yeast protein (SCP) were observed in a hard red spring wheat dough. Use of oxidants, a conditioner, a salt, and heating of the protein were evaluated as methods of reducing the deleterious effects of the SCP. SCP substitution at the 3% level yielded farinograph, extensigraph, and baking results similar to those of the untreated system. Addition of sodium stearoyl lactylate to the 3% SCP dough resulted in the most acceptable product according to sensory scores. High levels of SCP (6 and 12%) caused considerable decreases in dough quality, with the 12% SCP dough being very poor in performance. The 6 and 12% SCP doughs displayed particularly high farinograph absorptions, shortened farinograph stabilities, and decreased extensigraph resistence to extension and extensibilities. The quality of bread containing 6% SCP was fair and of the 12% SCP product, poor. Addition of oxidant or conditioner, individually or in combination with the salt or heat treatments, resulted in improved performance of the 6% SCP dough system.
