This study optimized djulis sourdough bread using Taguchi grey relational analysis. The best formula achieved superior texture, color, and sensory qualities, paving the way for commercial production.
Area of Science:
- Food Science and Technology
- Nutritional Science
- Agricultural Science
Background:
- Naturally fermented sourdough bakery products offer enhanced flavor and nutrition.
- Djulis (Chenopodium formosanum), a nutrient-rich grain cultivated in Taiwan, presents unique properties for food applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel djulis sourdough bread.
- To optimize baking parameters for djulis sourdough bread using a combination of Taguchi method and grey theory.
Main Methods:
- A Taguchi experiment design (L16(4)5) was employed, evaluating five factors: djulis sourdough, hulled djulis, oil type, flour blend, and honey.
- Optimization was guided by grey relational analysis, assessing texture profile analysis, color analysis, and sensory evaluation data.
Main Results:
- The optimal formula (A3B1C1D2E2) was determined as 20% djulis sourdough, 0% hulled djulis, 8% unsalted butter, 80% wheat flour + 20% high-gluten flour, and 10% honey.
- This combination yielded djulis sourdough bread with superior texture, color, and sensory attributes.
Conclusions:
- Taguchi grey relational analysis effectively optimized djulis sourdough bread formulation.
- The developed djulis sourdough bread shows significant potential for commercialization and industry reference.
