The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of the salt content in the sensorial quality of the bread. Samples of bread with and without salt, fresh and with one day of storage were analyzed. The intensity test of sensorial attributes was used with any non-structured scale with 1.5 cm for the attributes smell, flavor and firmness, by an 8 persons trained panel. The typical smell was more pronounced in the bread with salt, fresh and with one day of storage (8.6 and 4.8 points respectively), compared with the bread without salt (7.7 and 4.4 points). The characteristic flavor was significantly more pronounced on the bread with salt compared to bread without salt, both fresh (8.4 and 3.5 points respectively) and with one day of storage (7.3 and 3.8 points respectively). Fresh bread with or without salt, was firm (4 and 4.2 points respectively), with firmness increasing after one day of storage, especially unsalted bread (7 and 9.7 points). We conclude that the bread with salt presents better sensorial quality than the bread without salt. The salt is important in the sensorial profile of the bread, improving the smell, flavor and texture.
