The effect of mixing has been tested on the extractable activities of lipoxygena se, peroxidase, and catalase from dough after 2, 5, and 20 min of mixing, and 30 min of rest period after 20 min of mixing. Different mixing conditions have bee n studied including temperature, atmosphere, speed, amount of water added to the dough, buffer solutions between pH 3.6 and 7.5 added to the dough, and differen t additives (linoleic acid, guaiacol, hydrogen peroxide, ascorbic acid, cysteine , yeast, and sodium chloride). In all the mixing conditions tested, the dough pe roxidase activity remains equivalent to the initial flour activity, whereas loss es in lipoxygenase and catalase activities largely varied according to mixing co nditions. The results show that a self-destruction mechanism as well as physicoc hemical denaturation are responsible for these losses. Lipoxygenase losses seem mainly associated with the former mechanism, whereas catalase losses are highly increased in acidic conditions (physicochemical denaturation). Therefore, the re lative impact of the three oxidoreducing enzymes may be largely modulated by mix ing conditions.
