MILDE, Laura B; CABRAL, Fernando A  and  RAMIREZ, Romina. Effect of frozen storage on bread of cassava starch: Physical textural and sensory properties. Rev. cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2014, n.21, pp.33-39. ISSN 1851-7587.

Bakery products have shorter shelf-life. The possibility of using frozen storage at -20 °C in bread for celiac with cassava starch, corn flour and natural additives (fat, egg, soy flour), for 28 days was evaluated. Physical and textural parameters were analyzed every seven days, with day fresh bread as control. A significant difference of specific volume of frozen bread compared to fresh and not frozen was observed, but not in relation to different freezing times; there was no difference in relation to the percentage of weight loss. In relation to color, there were differences both in color and storage time for the crust and the L* and b*parameters of the crumb. With the exception of elasticity, the other textural parameters were affected by freezing. Acceptance was high even to day 28. In general, freezing influenced gluten-free mass analyzed, but not storage time.
