ABSTRACT: In
this work the effect of six varieties of durum wheat semolina on the bread physico-chemical and sensorial
properties was addressed. In particular, whole grains of durum wheat
(Anco Marzio, Claudio, Core, Iride, Saragolla and Cappelli) were finely milled
by using an ancient stone milling system. Textureanalysis was carried out
on both dough and bread samples to evaluate their firmness. Furthermore,
tomographic analysis was performed on the bread samples in order to provide a
more detailed view of their texture. The Glucose Equivalent, the chemical and the sensory
analyses of the bread were also determined. Results highlighted that the lowest Glucose Equivalent valuewas achieved in
bread produced with the Anco Marzio cultivar, which appeared instead the worst
in terms of texture. Among the investigated samples, bread from the Cappelli variety
showed good structural characteristic, a moderate Glucose Equivalent compared to the reference sample (CTRL) and the highest sensory quality.
