  • Evaluation of staleness and texture may be performed according to AACC method 74- 09. Evaluation of softness and elasticity of bread crumb as indicators of bread staling were conducted 0, 3, 6 and 9 days after baking according to the following procedure:
  • a slice of bread was compressed at constant speed in a texture analyser, and the force for compression was measured in g.
  • the firmness of the crumb is measured as the force at 25% compression.
  • the crumb firmness measurements are summarised below in Table 2, where a lower g value indicates a softer; i.e., less stale, bread. CBD appears to have an enhancing effect on Novamyl®.
  • the Day 9 calculated crumb firmness of bread containing the combination is 42% softer than the control, versus 23% for Novamyl® alone.
