Buckwheat Seeds: Impact of Milling Fractions and Addition Level on Wheat Bread Dough Rheology

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

In this manuscript, the authors reported the optimum ratio of buckwheat and wheat flours for keeping the dough matrix. The whole manuscript was well written in most parts. I don’t have major criticism, and minor comments are as follows:

1. Page 1, line 7: These e-mails are redundant. Perhaps remove it.

2. Page 1, lines 9-23: The whole paragraph should be adjusted to right.

3. Page 1, line 21: No space between 10.75 and %.

4. Page 1, line 43: A typo “excellent”

5. Page 3, lines 143: A space between 30 and min.

6. Page 3, lines 147-150: Please indent this paragraph.

7. Page 5, lines 222-229: In this paragraph, the authors use L, M, and S fractions. Why not keep using BL, BM, and BS?

8. Page 7, lines 315-316: Please fix the format of the title. By the way, Table 3 are separated on two pages. Can it be combined on the same page?

9. References No.26, 42, 49, 54, 55, 65, and 68: the species name should be italic.

2. Page 1, lines 9-23: The whole paragraph should be adjusted to right.

We arranged whole paragraph according the review suggestion.

3. Page 1, line 21: No space between 10.75 and %.

 We added space between”10.75” and ”%”.

4. Page 1, line 43: A typo “excellent”

 We corrected ”excelent” with ”excellent”.

5. Page 3, lines 143: A space between 30 and min.

 We added space between 30  and min.

6. Page 3, lines 147-150: Please indent this paragraph.

The indent was made.

7. Page 5, lines 222-229: In this paragraph, the authors use L, M, and S fractions. Why not keep using BL, BM, and BS?

We corrected in whole paragraph L, M, and S  with BL, BM, and BS.

8. Page 7, lines 315-316: Please fix the format of the title. By the way, Table 3 are separated on two pages. Can it be combined on the same page?

 We fixed the format of the title and we arranged it in one single page.

9. References No.26, 42, 49, 54, 55, 65, and 68: the species name should be italic.

In the references No.26, 42, 49, 54, 55, 65, and 68, the species name were changed in the italic font.

We would like to thank the referee for his appreciations. Also, we would like to thank to Reviewer for all their comments and suggestions, which have helped us to correct our work and present it in a more acceptable form.

Reviewer 2 Report

Good morning, I have slight comments: 

1. The results cited in the text differ from those in the table - line 218, ash value in text is 4,20% and in the table 4,23%. Lines 230 and 237 - fat content in text 5,64% and in the table 5,63%.
2. Line 240 - it cannot be written that large particle sieze (BL) presented the highest carbohydrate content when small particle size (BS) is in the same homogeneous group.
3. Line 272 - it cannot be written that BM has the highest SC value when no statistically significant differences were found between the analyzed samples.
4. Line 288 - I would include the words "falling number" in front of the FN symbol to keep the text looking uniform.

An interesting and comprehensively written publication. Best regards.

1. The results cited in the text differ from those in the table - line 218, ash value in text is 4,20% and in the table 4,23%. Lines 230 and 237 - fat content in text 5,64% and in the table 5,63%.

In the lines 218 and 230 the values were corrected.

2. Line 240 - it cannot be written that large particle sieze (BL) presented the highest carbohydrate content when small particle size (BS) is in the same homogeneous group.

We deleted the sentence ”wheareas in the medium particle size (BM) the lowest carbohydrates content (51.52%) was found”.

3. Line 272 - it cannot be written that BM has the highest SC value when no statistically significant differences were found between the analyzed samples.

We deleted the sentence ”The highest SC value was found for the medium particle size.”

4. Line 288 - I would include the words "falling number" in front of the FN symbol to keep the text looking uniform

We added „falling number” in front of the FN symbol.

We would like to thank the referee for the close reading and for all the given comments suitable for improving the manuscript. The manuscript was modified according to the suggestions of the reviewer.
