The staling of long shelf-life bread as determined by thermal analysis

The glassy-rubbery state of bread polymers has been proposed as a key factor contributing to staling. Glassy-rubbery states of bread components as measured by Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) in meal-ready-to-eat (MRE) bread exhibit three thermal transitions: two moisture dependent ($-70\sp\circ$C...
