The contribution of starch granules to the baking properties of frozen dough bread has been investigated using reconstituted dough method. The baking and aging characteristics of frozen dough bread were studied by texture analyzer, colorimeter, DSC, FTIR and LF-NMR. Results showed that starch had more impact on bread than gluten in specific volume of frozen dough bread, while gluten contributed more in color and cell density of frozen dough bread crumb during 8-weeks frozen storage. The changes of hardness mainly contributed to starch deterioration in first 4 weeks, then it was dominated by gluten in the later 4–8 weeks. A-Type granules have more effect on texture properties, number of cells and enthalpy of frozen dough bread during storage. B-Type granules contributed more on the size of cells in bread. The main aging change of wheat starch in profiles of bread was provided by A-Type granules during frozen storage. [Display omitted] • Wheat starch affect more on specific volume while gluten controls cell density of bread. • The hardness of frozen dough bread is determined by starch in early stage then by gluten. • A-Type granules affect the number of cells in bread, B-Type granule affect the size in them. • ●The main staling change of wheat starch in bread was provided by A-Type granules.

Factors contributing to the quality deterioration of frozen dough encompass yeast inactivation, gluten network structure disruption, starch crystallinity increment, and ice crystal redistribution. Wheat starch, the primary constituent of dough, comprising approximately 75% of the flour mass fraction, acts a pivotal part in the properties of frozen dough and its final products. This review offers a comprehensive perspective on the mechanisms underlying frozen dough degradation, the physicochemical attributes of various wheat starch types, alterations in the structure and functional profiles of wheat starch during freezing, and correlation between changes in these properties and the decline in frozen dough quality. Significant disparities exist between A-Type and B-Type starch granules, including differences in chemical composition, crystallinity, gel formation, gelatinization, and baking properties. Consequently, the particle sizes of wheat starch may exert varying extent of impact on the degradation of frozen dough. [Display omitted] • The deterioration of frozen dough is mainly attributed to freezing concentration. • Frozen cause damage of yeast, gluten, starch and redistribution of water. • A- and B-Type granules are quite different and their ratio affects dough quality. • The physicochemical properties of B-Type granules were more affected by freezing. • The contribution of A-Type granules to whole wheat starch was more obvious.

The effects of starch and gluten on the physicochemical properties of frozen dough were studied using reconstituted flour. The profiles of frozen dough were studied by Mixolab, rheometer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results revealed that starch, rather than gluten, played a decisive role in mixing properties. The breakdown and aggregation of the gluten network structure as well as the formation of β-turns and β-sheets in the frozen dough would be aggravated by the freezing of wheat starch. Smaller wheat starch granules (B-Type granules) affected the secondary structure of gluten network more than larger granules (A-Type granules), resulting in greater rheological property changes. The viscoelastic properties and freezable water content of frozen dough were more influenced by the freezing of gluten. [Display omitted] • Starch had more impact on mixing characteristics than gluten in frozen dough. • Frozen wheat starch would aggravate the disintegration and aggregation of gluten. • B-Type granules affected the secondary structure of gluten more than A-Type granules. • Gluten played a more important role in the viscoelastic properties of frozen dough.

• B-Type granules were more sensitive to freezing than A-Type granules. • The properties of whole wheat starch were close to those of its A-Type granules. • A-Type granule gradually play a leading role in whole wheat starch with frozen time. • The deterioration of B-Type granule had little influence in whole wheat starch. The physicochemical properties of whole wheat starch and its A-Type and B-Type granules isolated from frozen dough at 0, 4 and 8 weeks of storage were investigated. Results showed that profiles of A-Type granules were more or less constant while significant differences of B-Type granules involving in irregular edges, increased relative crystallinities and decreased Viscosities were observed after 8 weeks of storage, suggesting that B-Type granules were more sensitive to freezing. These were mainly attributed to the release of leaching materials from starches, resulting in the ratio of amylose to amylopectin, protein and lipid content decreased by 25.93%, 12.05% and 31.65%, respectively. Whole wheat starch remained essentially unchanged during freezing. It seemed that B-Type granules, as a small part of whole wheat starch, had less influence on whole wheat starch than A-type granules in spite of their significant deterioration upon storage.
