HC: sample control containing only wheat flour. HG: dough prepared with C. pulcherrima galactomannan. HX: dough prepared with T. indica xyloglucan. HXG: dough prepared with both galactomannan and xyloglucan. Results are expressed as . Equal capital letters in the same line do not present significant differences () comparing the same formulation at different times. Equal lowercase letters in the same column do not present a significant difference () comparing the formulations over the same time.
