This paper proposes the use of psyllium to improve the quality of these breads. For this aim, a wholemeal bread control is compared to breads with psyllium added in different amounts (1 to 10%). Mixolab was used to analyse dough behaviour. Specific volume, texture, macronutrient composition, and bread acceptability were also analysed. Increasing amounts of psyllium resulted in an increased dough hydration and stability, but a reduced kneading time. Specific volume and weight loss were not affected, despite the higher hydration level of the doughs. The addition of psyllium reduced bread hardness and increased its cohesiveness and resilience, thus lowering staling. The addition of psyllium also reduced the calorie content of the breads, due to increased moisture and fibre content. Moreover, the addition of up to 5% psyllium clearly improves the acceptability of wholemeal breads. The use of psyllium can improve the organoleptic and nutritional quality of wholemeal breads, improving their acceptability by consumers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods11121685","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,10]],"date-time":"2022-06-10T00:22:39Z","timestamp":1654820559000},"page":"1685","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Effect of Psyllium on Physical Properties, Composition and Acceptability of Whole Grain Breads"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9870-9370","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Franco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Agricultural Engineering, University of Valladolid, 34004 Palencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2650-4082","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Agricultural Engineering, University of Valladolid, 34004 Palencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2742","DOI":"10.1111\/1541-4337.12728","article-title":"Health benefits of whole grain: Effects on dietary carbohydrate quality, the gut microbiome, and consequences of processing","volume":"20","author":"Seal","year":"2021","journal-title":"Compr.
