Key Findings
- Researchers at Hefei University of Technology found that adding 5% Lycium barbarum pulp (LBP) to dough significantly improved its performance
- LBP addition promoted gluten protein aggregation, enhancing dough elasticity and structure
- The dough with LBP showed better water binding, delayed starch gelatinization, and improved stability and texture
