R. Kieffer et Hd. Belitz, HEATING OF WHEAT .1. LOAD-EXTENSION TESTS WITH DOUGH AND GLUTEN, Zeitschrift fur Lebensmittel-Untersuchung und -Forschung, 196(5), 1993, pp. 441-445
Kernels of different wheat varieties (20% water) were heated at 50-65-
degrees-C for 6 min and then milled. The flours were separated into st
arch, gluten and water-soluble components. The fractions from untreate
d kernels were heated separately and recombined. Doughs from treated k
ernels exhibited an increase in resistance and a decrease in extensibi
lity in load-extension tests. It could be shown that changes in the gl
uten proteins are responsible for these effects.
