¹Additional ingredients used for each bread portion were: 3 g syrup, 3 g rape seed oil, 4 g gluten, 4 g yeast and 1 g salt.

²The energy value of the breads were calculated based on the energy values of the ingredients using Dietist XP, version 3.0, Bromma, Sweden.

³ The amount of wheat flour was adjusted to equalise the amount of energy (kJ) per bread portion.

⁴ The water content was adjusted to create a good dough consistency. More water was required at higher levels of dietary fibre, especially extractable.

⁵ The amount of rye corresponded to 240 kJ (100 kcal) per portion.

⁶The amount of rye corresponded to the two levels of dietary fibre.
