The increase of the parameter value isalmost linear (Figure 1), being 10% higher compared with the control when is treated with50 g/100 kg (t = 5.990, p = 0.009), 20% higher compared with the control when is treatedwith 100 g / 100 kg (t = 7.367, p = 0.005) and 40% higher compared with the control whenis treated with 200 g/100 kg (t = 19.438, p = 0.003). The enzymatic inhibition mechanism isprobably based on the change of dough pH from the slightly acidic domain, thatcorresponds to the optimum pH of amylasic activity, to the neutral or slightly alkaline pH.The addition of citric acid in doses of up to 100 g / 100 kg flour does not inducesignificant changes in the value of amylasic activity. In these treatments there have beennoticed a slight increase in amylasic activity, showed by the decrease of the Falling Numberparameter, compared to the control (-1.4% and -2.5%). The optimum pH of the amylasicactivity in wheat is generally in the range 5.2 - 5.6, and a slight decrease, caused by theaddition of citric acid may explain these results. However, treatments with bigger quantitiesof citric acid (200 g / 100 kg flour) decrease significantly the alpha-amylasic activity offlour (+ 10.1% compared to the control, t = 3.379, p = 0.040).94

The evolution of the Falling Number parameter in case oftreatments with Rowelit and citric acidSince in bakeries using a wide range of acidifiers (acetic acid, lactic acid, citricacid etc), the use of sodium carbonate can be a problem, due to its reactivity. Table 4contains the results obtained by the treatment of the flour samples with differentcombinations of the two preparates, namely Rowelit and citric acid.Table 4.

(%) 19.231 21.148 23.434 21.298 18.752From Table 4 we notice that the use of equal quantities of the two preparates didnot alter significantly the value of the Falling Number parameter. Also, the combination of25 g/100 kg Rowelit and 100 g/100 kg citric acid does not significantly influence theamylasic activity of flours. Instead, the combination of 100 g/100 kg Rowelit and 25 g/100kg citric acid causes a significant increase of the Falling Number parameter (+ 15.16%compared to the control, t = 4.207, p = 0.024). This fact suggests that the use of averagedoses of sodium carbonate can be considered for reducing the amylasic activity in flourswith defects, while the technological processes use relatively small quantities of acidifiers.However, the degree of inhibition of amylasic activity is not big enough to allow thecorrection of some flours having initially large amylasic activity. In the context of thisresearch, we consider that the potential of reducing the amylasic activity by using sodium95
