Abstract

Soy lecithin shows promising potential in the food industry due to its key physicochemical properties, including emulsification, antioxidant activity, and protein binding capacity.To investigate the effect of soy lecithin on bread quality, this study replaced flour with 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%(w/w, by dry basis mass of wheat flour) soy lecithin in bread dough.To assess bread quality, this study investigated specific volume, porosity, color difference, texture, relative crystallinity, moisture distribution, microstructure, protein secondary structure, and sensory properties.Measurements used colorimetry, a physical property analyzer, X-ray diffractometry, a low-field nuclear magnetic resonance imaging analyser, scanning electron microscopy, and a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.Soy lecithin significantly increased bread specific volume and porosity.It produced a finer, more uniform pore structure.The microstructure showed denser, more ordered organization.Protein α-helix content rose from 19% to 32%.At 1.0%(w/w) addition, bread hardness decreased and elasticity improved.Relative crystallinity dropped approximately 20.95% versus the control.Protein digestibility increased.Soy lecithin also enhanced water-binding capacity, effectively delaying bread staling.Furthermore, it improved bread color, flavor, and crumb structure.This study confirms that adding soy lecithin effectively improves bread quality.Soy lecithin shows good potential as a bread improver in bread production.
