Abstract
The influence of incorporation of post-distillation solid wastes of the aromatic plants (SWAP), oregano, rosemary, lemon balm, and spearmint into wheat breads at 1% and 2% levels on their physicochemical and sensorial properties, and antioxidant and volatile profiles were investigated. SWAP breads had darker crumbs and crust and greener crumbs compared to the control, but rather similar loaf specific volume and textural attributes (crust puncture test and crumb Texture Profile Analysis). Although the mold growth on bread crumb surface was not inhibited by SWAP presence, LC-DAD-MS revealed a large increase in terpenoids, like carnosic acid (all SWAP), carnosol (rosemary) and carvacrol (oregano), phenolic (rosmarinic and salvianolic) acids and flavonoids in bread with SWAP inclusion, leading to enhanced antioxidant capacity (ABST, DPPH and FRAP assays). The distinct aromatic plant flavors were detected in the fortified breads by trained assessors and confirmed by SPME-GC/MS volatile analysis, showing high levels of terpenoids in SWAP breads, like carvacrol (oregano), caryophyllene (rosemary and lemon balm), and carvone (spearmint), and rendering the 2% fortification unacceptable by consumers. Nevertheless, breads with 1% oregano or rosemary waste had similar control overall acceptability scores, indicating that SWAP can be a promising ingredient for developing antioxidant-enriched wheat breads.
