Abstract

The present study is aimed at evaluating the possibility to predict bread specifications, for an industrial bread-making process, on the basis of the properties of flour employed in production. The flour delivered at the production plant, of which rheological and chemical properties were available, were analysed by means of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS). Based on the flour properties and NIR signals, multivariate control charts were constructed in order to detect flour batches leading to a bread with non-optimal behaviour. The results show that it is possible to distinguish flour batches leading to a product with a particularly negative performance, by modelling the properties commonly measured on flours and the acquired Near Infrared signals. In spite of the absence of monitoring of process variables, which could have offered a more sound basis for the interpretation, especially when false positives and negatives are detected, these results are of particular interest from the point of view of raw material evaluation in process monitoring. Also, the potentiality of Near Infrared Spectroscopy allows considering this approach for an on-line implementation in the control of incoming raw materials in this industrial process.
