       Abstract:Flour from the fruit of breadfruit trees (Artocarpus altilis) holds the potential to serve as a wheat flour replacement in gluten-free product formulations. This study evaluated the impact of breadfruit flour and leavening agent on gluten-free bread quality. Breadfruit flour was first milled and characterized by the researchers prior to being used in this study. Experimental formulas were mixed with varying breadfruit flour inclusion (0%, 20%, 35%, and 50%) and leavening agent (yeast and baking powder). Quality parameters including density, specific volume, pH, water activity, color, and texture were assessed, and proximate analysis was performed to characterize the nutritional value of the bread. Significant differences () were found in loaf density, specific volume, color (crust  and ; crumb , , and ), pH, water activity, and crumb firmness. Additionally, a consumer sensory study was performed on the most well-liked formulations. Consumer testing yielded significant differences () between the yeast-leavened control (0% breadfruit flour) and yeast-leavened breadfruit bread (20% breadfruit flour). Nonceliac consumers rated the breadfruit treatment as significantly less acceptable than the control for all sensory characteristics assessed. These results indicate that breadfruit flour can be used at ≤20%, when leavened with yeast, to produce quality gluten-free bread. Future studies should be conducted to assess the impact of breadfruit variety and milling practices on breadfruit flour properties before further attempts are made to investigate how breadfruit flour impacts the gluten-free bread quality.
1. Introduction
      Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects genetically susceptible individuals. It is caused by the ingestion of wheat gluten, as well as proteins in related cereals, such as barley, rye, and possibly oats. Portions of these proteins elicit an autoimmune response that causes inflammation of the upper small intestine, which can result in a variety of undesirable symptoms [1]. Studies in both the United States and Europe show that celiac disease affects about 1% of the population [2]. The only effective and available treatment is lifelong avoidance of gluten-containing foods by strict adherence to a gluten-free diet.
      A GFD is a diet devoid of gluten-containing grains like barley, rye, and wheat. Alternative gluten-free grains one may consume on a GFD include but are not limited to rice, oats, quinoa, buckwheat, corn, and millet. Until recent years, very few value-added, processed, or packaged gluten-free foods existed at the retail level. Removing gluten from baked goods reduces a products’ elasticity, extensibility, and water binding capacity [3]. When compared to gluten-containing products, gluten-free foods are perceived as having lower structural quality and lower palatability since the presence of gluten determines the overall appearance and textural properties of cereal-based products [3, 4].
     Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is widely available in tropical and subtropical regions across the globe, with the genus Artocarpus (Moraceae) being comprised of approximately 50 species [5]. As breadfruit does not contain the gluten proteins harmful to celiac patients, it may be a potential ingredient for use in gluten-free products. Additionally, many regions that grow breadfruit are dependent upon imports to support their food supply. Utilizing breadfruit flour to replace commonly imported flours such as wheat and rice could help creating increased food security in these regions.
