Non Technical Summary
There is a need to develop a standard method for testing whole wheat bread baking quality and for a better understanding of thephysical and chemicalproperties of whole wheat bread. This project will help the breeding program to develop wheat cultivars that have targeted end-use applications, such as whole wheat bread. The project will also assist the end-users of hard red spring wheat (HRSW)in choosing cultivars that are best for production of whole wheat bread. This will be accomplished by determining the overall baking quality for whole wheat bread made from several cultivars of HRSW and determineing a standard method for evaluating the baking qualtiy of whole wheat bread. This project will also evaluate the factors impacting the whole wheat bread quality. These factors include: the effect of bran particle size, the role of phenolic compounds in yeast fermentation and gluten development and the interactions between non-starch polysaccharides and gluten, and the interactions between non-starch polysaccharidesand starch.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? The present investigation indicated that straight dough method with extra 10 min of proofing time was suitable for experimental whole-wheat bread-making in order to differentiate hard red spring wheat samples. Sponge-and-dough method is widely used commercially in the United States. However, it was not thought to be a suitable experimental bread-making method for quality evaluation of whole wheat flour since it is a great equalizer and showed no significant difference for crumb firmness and crumb grain and texture among whole-wheat bread made from different flour types. We also investigated variability of whole-wheat bread-making quality for 21 hard spring wheat cultivars grown at 6 locations in North Dakota. Whole-wheat bread made from grains planted in Hettinger region exhibited the highest whole-wheat bread baking qualities for loaf volume, loaf symmetry, crumb color, and dough handling compared to other locations evaluated. Cultivars were shown to have high contribution to the variability of whole wheat loaf volume and loaf symmetry, showing 47% and 41% contribution respectively. Locations greatly contribute to the variability of whole-wheat baking absorption, showing 89% contribution. These results indicated that the whole-wheat bread quality, in terms of loaf volume and crumb color were largely under genetic control, and breeders can aim at achieving high loaf volume in hard spring wheat. However, more research needs to be conducted in multiple years of growing seasons before definitive conclusions can be made. The objectives of the project are 1) To determine whole wheat bread baking quality of hard red spring wheat varieties. 2.To determine factors impacting the whole wheat bread quality (including a. Determine the effect of bran particle size b. Understand the role of phenolic compounds in yeast fermentation and gluten development c. Understand the macromolecular interactions between non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and gluten, and NSP and starch.) Economy of North Dakota is largely dependent on agricultural products. Among all the planted crops, HRS wheat is unique and is important for agriculture-based economy of the states. North Dakota is the leader in the USA for production HRS wheat, which is well known for its high protein quality and quantity. Analysis of whole wheat bread quality of HRS wheat will help to expand the HRS wheat end-use market and, consequently will be beneficial for the North Dakota wheat producers and agriculture. Additionally, the proposed project will help to NDSU HRS wheat breeding program to develop wheat varieties that have better whole wheat bread quality. The second part of the research is designed to determine which compounds impact the end product quality of whole wheat breads. Currently, 10 genotypes from 7 different locations are being evaluated for both white and whole wheat bread quality so that we can determine whether whole wheat bread quality correlated with white bread quality or not. Impact Statement: This project insures quality spring wheat varieties are grown in North Dakota which results in more than $5 billion in economic activity annually. Additionally, the wheat quality program performs market development research to improve end-use applications of spring wheat both domestically and internationally.

Impact Statement: This project insures quality spring wheat varieties are grown in North Dakota which results in more than $5 billion in economic activity annually. Additionally, the wheat quality program performs market development research to improve end-use applications of spring wheat both domestically and internationally. The economy of North Dakota is largely dependent on agricultural products. Among all the planted crops, HRS wheat is unique and is important for agriculture-based economy of the states. North Dakota is the leader in the USA for production HRS wheat, which is well known for its high protein quality and quantity. Analysis of whole wheat bread quality of HRS wheat will help to expand the HRS wheat end-use market and, consequently will be beneficial for the North Dakota wheat producers and agriculture. Additionally, the proposed project will help to NDSU HRS wheat breeding program to develop wheat varieties that have better whole wheat bread quality. The second part of the research is designed to determine which compounds impact the end product quality of whole wheat breads. Currently, 10 genotypes from 7 different locations are being evaluated for both white and whole wheat bread quality so that we can determine whether whole wheat bread quality correlated with white bread quality or not. Despite the health benefits of bran and whole-wheat products, bran tends to negatively impact dough viscoelastic properties, loaf volume and end product quality in general. However, little information is available on the influence of individual bran components and their interactions on whole wheat breadmaking in hard red spring wheat. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the association between bran components and breadmaking quality. For this, effects of different major bran components including lipids, phenolics (extractable and hydrolysable), and fiber fractions on the whole wheat bread-making quality were investigated by following up a reconstitution approach using the 24 factorial experimental layout. Looking into overall pictures, all four components exhibited pronounced effect on quality parameters. Interestingly, bran fiber was identified as a single main factor that had highly significant impact on all flour, dough, and baking parameters measured in this experiment. Specifically, presence of fiber in dough system increased water absorption and gassing power. However, fiber had strong negative influence on dough and baking quality characteristics including wet gluten, gluten index, farinograph stability and bread loaf volume. Other components appeared to have negative influence on breadmaking quality but it was not as severe as FB. The reconstitution of hydrolysable phenolics was found to impact positively on farinograph stability. However, the interaction of fiber with other components decreased bread loaf volume further more. Especially, fiber and hydrolysable phenolics were the main factors that significantly impacted bread loaf volume. Reconstituted breads prepared without fiber or hydrolysable phenolics had higher loaf volume than white bread. The influence of FB was also associated with solubility of proteins in bread crumb. The individual bran components showed difference in proteins solubilized from bread crumb when analyzed by SE-HPLC. Especially, FB was found to increase solubility of polymeric proteins in bread crumbs while other components decreased it. When FB was reconstituted with EP and HP, polymeric protein solubility increased furthermore, resulting in decrease of farinograph stability and loaf volume. This indicates that FB interacts with other components to change protein characteristics. The influence of FB on proteins might be mainly related to the change of protein conformation, which might sequentially cause increase of protein solubility, decrease of dough stability and loaf volume. Overall, influence of bran components on bread-making quality seemed very complex since analysis of variance showed that interaction of all four bran components (lipid, extractable and hydrolysable phenolics, and fiber) was highly significant (P<0.05). This study shows how each of these components effects on bread quality and may lead to further investigation about pre-treatments that could be performed to bran in an effort to improve whole wheat bread quality.

Impact Statement: This project insures quality spring wheat varieties are grown in North Dakota which results in more than 6$ billion in economic activity annually. Additionally, the wheat quality program performs market development research to improve end-use applications of spring wheat both domestically and internationally. Outcomes/Impacts: This research investigated the differences in chemical composition of white and whole wheat bread and relates those to the end-product and nutritional quality. Variation in milling conditions for whole wheat resulted in whole wheat flours having significant (P<0.05) differences in quality. When whole wheat flours were milled at higher rotor speeds there was lower starch damage and greater amount of fine particles in the flour. Whole wheat flours milled from samples with lower seed moisture content also had low starch damage, but had lower amount of fine particles. The milling conditions also had an impact on the dough and bread quality of the whole wheat flours milled on the centrifugal mill. The mixograph peak time was significantly higher (P<0.05) for whole wheat flours milled with a rotor speed of 15 thousand rpm. Also, the mixograph peak time was significantly (P<0.05) higher at lower seed moisture contents (10 and 12%) than when the seed moisture content was raised to 14 or 16%. The rotor speed and seed moisture affected the loaf volume. Overall, higher rotor speed resulted in better dough handling properties and higher loaf volume. Whole wheat flour produced from wheat with low seed moisture content also resulted in higher loaf volume. The presence of bran fraction impacted the water absorption, 10% more water needed to reach 500BU. Fine bran produced easy-to-handle dough while coarse bran produced hard-to-seam dough. Fine bran produced smoother crumb texture, darker crust color, higher loaf symmetry, and higher proof height compared to coarse bran. However, regardless whether it is fine or coarse bran fraction, the loaf volume of whole-wheat bread was not significantly (p>0.05) different. Despite the health benefits of bran and whole-wheat products, it tends to negatively impact dough viscoelastic properties, loaf volume and crumb texture. Decreasing particle size of bran (for blended whole-wheat flour) and whole-wheat flour does not improve bread quality. Addition of bran alters the water binding of the flour and contains enzymes which will affect dough and bread quality. It is suggested that the bran might interact with gluten network, and disrupt the gluten development or yeast activity during fermentation/proofing. The information from these studies can allow us to determine the best type of wheat flour and the best way to produce that wheat flour to increase consumer acceptance of whole wheat products.

Overall, bread is a major staple food in Western diets; and the increase in whole wheat bread consumption may lead to health benefits. These health benefits are due to the increased dietary fiber, phytochemicals and nutrient/mineral content of whole wheat bread, as well as, decreased glycemic index in whole wheat bread. There may be many possible causes of the reduced glycemic index of whole wheat bread. However, these interactions need to be studied in more detail. Currently, there is a lack of consistent information found in literature about the end-product and nutritional quality comparisons between white and whole wheat breads. This study has been investigating the effect of macromolecular interactions in whole wheat quality; specifically, the relationship between estimated glycemic index and the changes in starch composition. It is important to investigate the variation in starch composition and characteristics between white and whole wheat breads, due to the increased popularity of whole grain breads and their health benefits relating to DM, CVD and obesity. By examining the changes in starch chemistry that occur in baking white flour and whole wheat flour breads some conclusions may be drawn as to the basis for differences in glycemic index of these products. Considering the fact that HRS wheat is mainly used for bread production, this research will help increasing the HRS wheat use in whole wheat bread applications. Therefore, results from the study will help to marketing of HRS wheat grown in ND.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Economy of North Dakota is largely dependent on agricultural products. Among all the planted crops, HRS wheat is unique and is important for agriculture-based economy of the states. North Dakota is the leader in the USA for production HRS wheat, which is well known for its high protein quality and quantity. Analysis of whole wheat bread quality of HRS wheat will help to expand the HRS wheat end-use market and, consequently will be beneficial for the North Dakota wheat producers and agriculture. Additionally, the proposed project will help the NDSU HRS wheat breeding program to develop wheat varieties that have better whole wheat bread quality. The second part of the research is designed to determine which compounds impact the end product quality of whole wheat breads. Currently, 10 genotypes from 7 different locations are being evaluated for both white and whole wheat bread quality so that we can determine whether whole wheat bread quality correlated with white bread quality or not.
