R. Kieffer et al., HEATING OF WHEAT .2. RHEOLOGICAL AND BAKING BEHAVIOR, CHANGES IN OSBORNE FRACTIONS, Zeitschrift fur Lebensmittel-Untersuchung und -Forschung, 196(6), 1993, pp. 526-531
Dough from heated wheat kernels (45 75-degrees-C/6 min, 20% water cont
ent) were examined by capillary viscosimetry and by a micro-baking tes
t. Both methods showed an increase in gluten strength. Osborne fractio
nation of the proteins showed a shift of albumins/globulins to the res
idual protein. Load-extension tests and calorimetric measurements with
heat-treated gluten led to the conclusion that changes in protein con
formation are responsible for the increase in gluten strength.
