Effect of Toasting Time on the Browning of Sliced Bread

Posted on January 9th, 2006

Bread goes brown when toasted

I’m not going to even comment. From the paper’s abstract:

Slices of wheat bread were toasted for different times until a distinct intensity of brown colour was reached. The browning indicators … were determined. … High linear correlations were obtained between browning indicators and time.

In English: the scientists found that the longer you leave bread in the toaster, the more brown it gets. Shocking.
