This protocol is based on the mathematical analysis of experimental curve of storage modulus(G0) vs temperature obtained by means of Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) technique. Doughs atconstant consistency of chestnut flour with different levels (3, 6 and 9% flour basis, f.b.) of brown seaweed(Bifurcaria bifurcata, Fucus vesiculosus and Ascophyllum nodosum) powders addition, 2% f.b. of guar gum and 1.8%f.b. of salt with different water absorption were used to test the proposed protocol. The ranges of temperaturescorresponding to starch gelatinization (59–97 C), amylopectin crystallites melting (82–101 C), reversibledissociation of lipid-amylose complexes (107–128 C) and amylose melting (133–171 C) showed a strongdependence with water absorption of samples. Doughs with the same water absorption submitted to starchgelatinization during mixing were also analysed to corroborate the protocol suitability. Total polyphenols contentand radical scavenging activity of extracts from chestnut flour-seaweed powder blends and seaweed-enrichedchestnut cookies baked at 180 C were determined. Extraction assisted with ultrasounds was carried outemploying acetone-water (70:30 v/v) solution as solvent during 4 min with a liquid/solid ratio of 30 w/w.Seaweed powder addition had a positive effect on antioxidant properties of doughs before baking. However, theseaweed powder addition effect on baked products (cookies) is not clear due to antioxidant activity is overlappedby Maillard's products generated during baking PB Elsevier SN 2405-8440 YR 2019 FD 2019 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/21867 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/21867 LA eng NO Arufe, S., Sineiro, J., Moreira, R.
