摘要：The most of the methods used to measure bread staling depend on the mesurement of starch rerogradation . Starch retrogradation is the major factor for the staling of bread but according to a widespread idea, this event is not equal with staling of bread. Bread staling may be caused by the changes in another components and the interaction between they and starch. In this review, the methods which are connected with changes in starch and water content of bread have been discussed. X-ray diffraction and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance techniques have frequently used in the bread staling measurements.
