The effect of bread making methods on bound water migration from crumb to crust and moisture redistribution during bread storage at room temperature was studied. Comparative analysis of water behavior in bread crusts and crumbs was performed using differential scanning calorimetry method. Water vaporization enthalpies and temperatures of water vaporization peaks were determined and compared for bread produced by a single stage, straight dough method and bread produced by a two stage, sponge-and-dough method. The effect of chitosan on the crust and the crumb properties was analyzed for the breads produced by both methods.
