Effect of water-soluble fullerene C-60 on the quality of rye bread

Biological synthesis makes it possible to create a wide variety of new products with a given composition - to obtain food for humans, enzymes, amino acids, polymers. Fullerenes are an allotropic modifi of carbon. Water solutions of fullerene are tested for medical purposes as an antiviral, anti-infl agent, against cancer. The paper studies the effect of water-soluble fullerenes on the quality of rye bread. The bread was prepared with sourdough, without the introduction of commercial yeast. Rye sourdough was prepared independently for 7 days from whole-grain rye fl and water. Fullerene was dissolved in water in a percentage ratio of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 % of the amount of water and the dough was kneaded on this solution, with the exception of the control sample. The dough was left to ferment, while observing the rate of its rise every hour. Next, the fermented dough was divided into pieces and formed into dough pieces. In the process of proofi the test blanks in the control sample, the greatest blurring of the bread blank was observed, the samples of the blanks with fullerene retained their shape better. The bread was baked for 55 minutes. After 8 hours of cooling, the bread was examined according to the main quality indicators. The results of the study of the physical and chemical parameters of rye bread with an aqueous solution of fullerene showed that the porosity of the crumb of the control sample and samples with fullerene was equal to 49 %. The moisture content of the crumb of the samples in all variants of the experiment was 48 %. The acidity of the test in sample No. 1 increases by 0.5 degrees, in sample No. 2 by 1 degree, in sample No. 3 by 1.3 degrees compared to the control sample. Rye bread prepared using water-soluble fullerene has good quality indicators that meet the requirements of the standards.
