The production of fozen dough bread products has Increased rapidly daring recent years, an the market for frozen dough ‘read products is predicted to grow ata compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% during the forecast period of 2020-2025 (Mordor In teligence Report, 2020). The inereased demand for frazen dough bread is associated with convenionce-rlated factors nt bakeries and rest rants shortening the time required prior to baking; allowing forthe use ‘of highly mechanized processes to produce dough, which can reduce production costs; ineressing the Ukelthood of obsining a uniform ‘quality av all times; felltating and improving transportation logistics; ‘and removing the necesity of night work at bakeries (Rosell & Gone, 2007), The frozen doughs need to be thawed before proofing, the thawing methods significantly influence the thawing times, The work of ‘Yang eal (2020) indicates that the frozen doughs subjected (0 * Gonespning shot.

The largest barrier 1o the development and growth of the frozen dough bread market isthe reduced sensorial ‘haraeteristis associated with frozen dough bread compaed with those offiesh dough bread (wiarker Dain Forecast, 2020). The freezing fozen storage thawing cycle results in the disruption of the gluten network due tothe release of reducing compounds (especialy glutathione), che depolymerization of gluenin aggrogates, the formation of ice crystal, ‘and the modification of strc (Fn eta, 2020). Yeast cells viability it flso daniaged during the cycle due to an increase in osotie presse, oxidative stress, and the damaging effects of ce (La eal, 2020; Omedi cecal, 2019), likely resulting inthe reduction of yeast population in the thinwed dough. The changes result in the production af bread with poor fermentation, low specific volunes, surfaces that are prone to cracking, taneven internal structures, increased hardness and chewiness, and decreased springiness and resilience (Peng eal, 20205 He eal, 2020; ‘Wang el, 2017), The addon of oxidizing agents (Such as organic Receive 21 January 2021; Reeived in revised form 14 May 2021; Accepted 17 May 2021, ‘Available online 31 May 2021 22124292/0) 2001 Hever Ld Al igs veserved.

The addition of yeasts at levels 20%-100% above normal levels stil sults insignificant losses o fermentation eapacty der the damaging effects of frozen storage. Various approaches have been pro posed to improve yeast exyotolerance, such as increasing their vitality ‘with trehalose and e-poly lysine (Let al, 2020), or optimizing the freezing rate (Fao etal, 2016), but further investigations to find new "approaches renin necessary Several authors have reported the ability to overcome some of the Inurdls associated with the bread.making process through the applica tion of the encapsulation technique (Aliairano-Foril etal, 20125 Pasija et al, 20155 Bryszewsks ex all, 2019). However, the available sclentific iteraure exploring the application of encapsulation tech niques to the refrigerated and frozen dough sectors scare. The shelf fe ‘of refigerated dough was succesflly extended through the immobil zation of yeast into algnate/gelatin microbeads, whieh allowed for the ‘complete arrest of fermentation at temperatures below 10 °C, with the resumption of leavening as the temperature inereased (Gusti ct al. 2008) To the best of our knowledge, no report in the literature have ‘examined the application of encapsulated yeast cells to improve the sensorial cherscteristies of frozen dough bread. Our study was per formes 10 examine the sensorial atibutes of bread baked from frozen ovigh containing immobilized baker's yeast encapsulated in either alginate or alginate-starch beads, “The study was organized into two levels.) First beads containing calcium alginate yeast (CAY) and calehum alginate-stare-yeast(CASY) ‘were prepared and characterized. Alginate was selected due to its ad ‘vantages over other polymers, including the formation of water based ‘matrix, room-temperature gelation, andthe rapid release of embedded ‘compounds de tothe high porosity of ges. Starch was used as fille. ‘One type of ench system wth the best enempaulation parameters vas Pot cn 42 (2021 10119 selected, stored frozen for one and theee months, and the morphology, struenite, and cryotolerance ofthe encapsulated yeast cells were char acterized compared with those of free yeast eels.

Preparation and storage of alginate based beads ‘The extemal gelation method was wed to prepare GAY and CASY beads Beads were prepared by dissolving 2g of sodium alginate (Sign Aldril, St Louis, USA, with a viscosity of 25.7 eps at 25 °C), either lone (for GAY) or wth diferent aniount of commercial com starch (for CCASY, Tobie 1, Desert, Bucegi, Romania), in 100 mi of eistilled water, which was stirred for 1h at 25°C (Heidolph Instruments, Schwabach, Germany) and sonicated for 20 min (Sonorex Super, Bandelin Elec tronic, Berlin, Germany) a 35 kHz Different amounts of commercial éry yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, DY, Pakmaya, Pascani, Romani) ‘ging from 11010 , were addled tothe prepared sodium alginate and sodium alginate-starch gels (ble), followed by homogenization for 30 min. The solutions were fed through a perstlie pump (PMOS ARS Laboratoire, Bz, France) at 50 rpm and extruded throngh a capillary tube ameter 1 mn) int a bath contsining 500 miLof 0 mol/L CaCl, (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), in which the Deads were maintained for 15 min to harden. After filtration, the beads were rinsed with distilled water to remove exces cle ions, To vod dansnging the yeas cells, the beads were environmentally dried (22.°C) until they reached @ constant weight. DY and CASY and CAY beads were stored for one and 8 months at ~18 °C in a conventional freezer (Zanussi Chest Freezer, Pordenone aly), thawed for 20 min at 25°C, and submitted to annie. ‘Table Encapsulation parameters.

Another ‘neo dough samples were obtained by replacing the DY with the lowest equivalent amounts of bends extracted fron Table 1, namely 19 g CASY beads or 28.5 g.CAY beads The ingredients were Dende for 10min ina laboratory mixer for optimal dough development. Dough pieces, measuring 810 g each, were wrapped in plas foil and frozen at 18°C (Zanussi Chest Freezer, Pordenone, Italy), at an average freezing rate of 3.2 “C/min. Frozen samples were collected afer one and three months ‘and allowed to thaw for 2 until the dough pieces reached 22 °C, at whieh temperature the yeast becomes active. They were round shaped fd proofed at 32°C and 75% relive humidity in & proofing chan ber (Matina D 6040, Bucharest, Romania). After 60 min, the doughs were hand kneaded for 2 min, shaped, placed into baking trays (28 em « 10 em x 6 em), and proofed for an ditional 60 min. The pieces were baked in preheated oven (iron, Cadoneghe, lay) for 1 81180 °, implementing steam during the frst 10min, The bread loaves were removed from the trays, allowed f0 cool to room temperatnre (22°C), and analyzed. The Toa specific volume was measured sing the rapeseed displacentent method (Wily Cozauta et al, 2015) Crust firmness was tested at a minimum of 15 points using @ Wagner FDKIO force dial penetrometer (Wagner Instruments, Vernon Hills, USA), and average values are reported. The height (Hand diameter (D) ofeach bread loaf was measured in 10 replicates (at different positions of the bread) using a caliper, and an H/D index was calculated using the average values. Crist moistire was measured according to the ICC “Meth (199) in five replicates. Freshly prepared breed samples that so contained DY, CAY and CASY were als investigated as references. ‘The sensorial study was condicted within 5 hater baking under conditions of room temperature (22 °C) and daylight, using a group of 50 panelists (25 women and 25:men, with ages fom) 181060 years) who were regular read consumers. The study was approved by the Fihies Committee of the Center forthe Scientific Research into Environment, Food and Health Safety, Technical University of Chi Napoca, Romania, ‘and complies withthe principles of the Declaration of Helsinki as revised {n2013, The consumers were previonsy informed regarding the sins of the study and provided writen informed consent, Sliced bread samples, 2.em thick, were cut inte four pieces, coded, and randomly presented to the panelists, The attributes of crust color an firnness, crumb aspect, bread volume, smell, taste, and overall acceptability were evaluated using @ fivepoint ‘hedonic scale CLdisike extremely 10 Slike extremely), The overall sensory score ofeach ateibuce was computed as an average ofthe individual seores provided by the panelists. 2.6, stavisical analysis All investigations were performed at last in tiplicate, and the re sults are expressed as the mean + standard deviation. The differentiation between values was made based on the Tukey test posthoc ANOVA (p< 0.05) by using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 24.

For instance, the CASY bess generated using an Alginate'starch:yeastwater ratio of 21:5:100 demonstrated a yeast load ‘and encapsulation efficiency 1,22 fold and 1.26old, respectively, those ‘of the corresponding parameters for CAY beads prepared using. an alginaestarelzyeaswater ration of 20:5:100. Moreover, the amount of ‘GASY beads equivalent (01 g of DY (8.80 g/1 g of DY) was 1.24 fold lover than that of CAY beads (4.70 9/1 of DY). The CASY beads pre pared asing 2 g of starch did na exhibit improved encapsulation pa rameters compared with CASY beads prepared using 1 gof starch, Our work is supported by dhe study performed by Cordoba otal. (2013), who ‘reported the improved encapsulation efficiency of polyphenols derived from yerba mate following the adition of starch. similar to CAY beads, ‘no significan differences in the encapsulation parameters of CASY boads were observed following the incorporation of greater than 5% DY. The ‘entrapment of yeast eel in the alginate matrix ean be explained by the ‘establishment of hydrogen bond between the protein and carbohydrate ‘components of the yeast cell walls ad the polysaccharide grows inthe Alginate, The favorable effect of stareh on the eneapsulation efficiency ‘an be ascribed tothe formation of additional hydrogen bonds between the compounds in the yeast cell walls andthe amylose and anaplopectin ‘components of starch, which was indicated by the FTIR analysts, “The results shown in Toble 1 indicate that CASY and CAY beads ‘generated using alginatestarch:yeastwater ratlos of 2:1:5°100 and 2:08:100, respectively, displayed dhe best characteristics in tems of yeas load, encapsulation efficiency, and lowest beads quantity equiv alent (o 1 of DY. These two encapsulation systems were selected for further investigation, 8.2, Reads morphology Wer CASY and GAY beads both appeared whitish an glossy, and the color tumed brown during drying (is. 1). During experiments, the tendency of dried CASY beads to aggregate was noticed due 10 the Dining properties of starch, That may ease dhe beads o disperse het erogeneously in the dough, easing uneven fermentation that result in bread faults, such as ieregular volume, crust cracks, and large and Srregular pores in the crumb. As shown in Fig 1 (> 40), the outer to pographies of dried CASY and CAY beads exhibic relatively spherical shapes with concavities obtained during water evaporation and the farther shrinkage ofthe droplets. At higher magnification ( 900), the dried beads displayed compact morphologies with large numbers of yeast cells embeded in their matrixes. The yeast cells were attenuated n the CASY beads due 10 the presence of starch, which occupied the trata Dead space, whetexs the yeast cells were more prominent in the CAY beads. No faenites were observed onthe srfaces of died CASY and CAY beads, indicating slow rate of water evaporation, The study by Tonia. Selo etal, (2017) reported dat alginate-based beads that wore subjected 10 feewze drying and vacuum drying displayed large pores and cracks. Freezing and frozen storage afected both types of beads, with longer frozen storage times resulting in more severe impact. After one month of frozen storage, the impact on CAY beads was fatty advanced, with large cracks and slits observed. In contrast, after one ‘ionthof frozen stage, the CASY beads deplayed a corrgated surface with no visible pores or fractures. These findings inleste the structural suppor provides y starch, which likely reduced matrix collapse ding the freezing-frozen storage-thaving eyele, The prolongation of storage ‘o three months significandy inereased the roughness ofthe CASY bead Likely, as those dense beads becane more bite, the necwork collapsed, resulting inthe formation of dep fractures and voids. ‘The characteristic shape parameters of alginate-based beeds and {hee relative changes are shown in Tobie 2. Wet CAY beads displayed significantly higher values for equivalent and Ferer's diameters compared with those of wet CASY beads, This outcome may be due to the increase in the viscosity of the alginate-starch solution and the changes that occur inthe surface tension and viscosity of the resultant froplets, in addition tothe establishment of new hydrogen bond in the CCASY bead structure, as demonstrated by FTIR analysis, resulting tn & tighter stricture. However, the statistical analysis did nor revel sig ificant differences between the above mentioned parameters. Aer drying, the equivalent diameter values isble2)indiaued the shrinkage ofthe wer beads by 50.46% for CASY beads and 56.21% for CAY beads duet water evaporation, resulting in the rearrangement of thehydrogel network structure. In addition to the establishment of new hydrogen bonds berween the bead matrix and yeast cells, the beed size influences the encapsulation parameters, which are indireetly correlated with the loading capacity and encapsulation effieteney. According to Busi ct a (2018), smaller and firmer eapsules can form a more stable alginate “egg box" structure, resulting in a high entrapment effiieney. similar finding was also observed in our study, as the CASY gel displayed @ higher viscosity and resulted in frmer,staller beads compared with the CCAY gel (able 2, sigesting tha the presence of starch is favorable to pea hardness.

In this region, the sift in the symmetric CH. vibration fom 2847 cu" in unfrozen yeast 10 2841 ent" and 2836 em i the {month and 3-month froaen yest, respectively, ere observed likely ssscited wid the stfening of dhe cll membranes nnd the loss of Pot cn 42 (2021 10119 membrane integrity dive co changes in the lipid ehains (Pssor eal 2019) i) The spectral region 1800-1500 em? is ascribed to amide 1 (1658-1637 ene) and amide 1 (1380-1550 em™) groups, whieh deseribe the stretching vibrations speife to the C0, N-#, and C-N bonds in proteins and peptides (la Cruz Gavia tal, 201% Nguyen fecal, 2015). The band 1500-1200 em! was assigned tothe amide I region and depicts overtone vibrations of the N-H bending end C-N stretching in tide bonds and the vibration wagging ofthe CH, groupe (de la Cruz Gavia et al, 2018). Nguyen et al. (2017) reported two vibrational bans around 1652 em» (Stretching vibrations oF C-O) and 1547 cot [a combination of the N-H bending and n (C-N) stretching ‘vibrations, whieh were assigned tothe acheicand sheet, respectively, re components of the secondary protein sruetre. In ou study, and 1535 emt, with difer ences in the studied yeast strains likely responsible for these observed shits, Significant downshifs ofthe ahelix and sheet vibrations to 1629 en and 1525 emt respectively, were observed after one month of frozen storage, and after an additional two months offczen storage, the bands shifted to 1625 cm and 1518 ca. The los of intensities for the qhelix and fsheetstructres following frozen storage indicated disruptions in the conformational strictures of proteins, which may be ssocated with yeast cells Isis. (lv) The region 1200-900 em* was attibnced to carbolydrates(P-lueans, glyeogen, and mannans), with !inor contributions from phosphate groups associated with DNA, RNA, and phospholipids (Serie Moret et al, 2018), Reductions i these absorption bands were observed for yews subject o freezing forone and three months compared with unfrozen yeast, inieating the hydrolysis of lycosidic linkages in frozen yeast. The absorption band around 1079 en reflects the DNA content (Beuedoti et a, 1989), core sponding to the symmetric PO; (P0,~) stretching vibrations of the phosphate groups associated with the DNA double-stranded backbone (Benedettl et a, 1990; Gasparri & Muzio, 200% Liu & Mant, 2001), the 0-0 stretching vibrations of nucle sei polysaccharides, and the 16-0-P sietching vibration of phosphorylated lipids (Gide et al 200% Jamin etl, 2008), Another wavenumber associated with nucleic rcids was loctted at 1048 em"?, which was atebted to the 2-0 stretching (Gautam tal. 2012) of deoxyribose (Gao e al, 2015), RNA, tnd ribose (Ganidenzi et, 2009). The decreased band intensities around 1079 em and 1048 em? during frozen storage indicated the loss of nucleic aid contents due to DNA damage (iso el, 2017). Thus, foe yeast cells showed 71.25% and 73.76% decrease in the in tensites of the 1079 em"? and 1048 cm? absorption bands, respec tively, after one month of frozen storage, and additonal dacreased intensities of 9.91% and 10.44% after another two months of frozen storage. ‘The FTIR spectra of the feesh GAY and CASY bends ae displayed in ig. 2e and d Specific bands corresponding to the alginate, yeast, and starch can be observed in the CAY and GASY bead. spectra, which confirm the successful loading of S. cereislae into the alginate and alginate-starch beads, respectively. A wide band, widh peaks. at 3259 em and 3256 cm, indicated the establishment of intermolee ‘lar hydrogen bonds between the hydrophilic groups ofthe rave mute Fiols. A downshift of the-OH stretching band position could be observed for CASY beads duc to the establishment of nev hydrogen bonds following the starch sddition. The insmobilization of yeast cells in the beads was indicated by the absorption bands atoured at 2850 em? and the specific components of nucleic acids, associated with Bands at and 1025 em, The alginate macrix appeared at 2910 ent 8/1410 ext"? and 1292 ent, Signals around 1156 ex", and 1019 ent“ indented the presence of starch inthe CASY. beads (Cércoba etal, 2013), "The changes that occured in CAY and CASY beads during freezing and frozen storage were also revealed by the FTIR spectra (Fs. 2e and 4). Significant downshift behavior was observed for the regions ‘8600-8000 em aad 3000-2800 em after the fist month of frozen storage due to the disorganization ofthe yeast plasiia membrane (es A: iat Cooma ‘cae Gavia et aly 2018}. ‘The amide 1 band, inthe region 1500-1800 ent, showed higher intensities for the ehelix and p-sheet ‘components in the CAY and CASY beads conspared with those observed for free yeast calls, suggesting that changes in protein structures ‘occurred in the immobilized yeast cells during freezing and frozen storage compared with those observed in free yest cells, The carboky- rates band (1800-1200 em) decreased after frozen storage, in ‘cating a weakening ofthe glycosidic linkages, The DNA integrity ofthe ‘encapsulated yeast cells was also disrupted during freezing and frozen, storage, but to lesser extent than observed for fee yeast cells ‘Thus, yeas cells in GAY beads showed 59.64% and 57.84% decrease Inthe intensities ofthe 1079 em and 1048 ent-® absorption bands, respectively, after ane month of frozen storage, and decreased teasiies of 1.8796 and 2.419 after another two months of fozen stor age, Improved exyoprotection was also observed for yeast DNA in the ‘CASY bead matrix, with reductions in the intensities ofthe 1079 emt-* ‘and 1048 cm bands of 4.12% and 57.50%, respectively, after one month of frozen storage and of 5.91% and 0.5496 after another two months of frozen storage. A doveushft in the characteristic band in tensiies of. cerevisiae microencapsulated with complex coacervate was also reported following the freezing process (ce In Cri.
