The aim of this study was to compare the physicochemical properties of domestic and imported commercial plain wheat flour and dough. Four types of domestic wheat flour (DW; DW1-4) were compared to four types of imported wheat flour (IW; IW1-4). DWs exhibited lower moisture content, lightness (L), and whiteness, and higher protein content, redness (a), and yellowness (b), than those exhibited by IWs. Solvent retention capacity of DWs and IWs was similar; however, DWs showed higher gluten performance index. Pasting properties, analyzed by rapid visco analyzer (RVA), were similar for DW1, DW2, and IWs; however, DW3 and DW4 showed different RVA patterns. Considering that DW3 and DW4 were organic wheat flour, possible incorporation of damaged kernel might increase amylase activities resulting in decreased peak viscosity. Dough resistance (108.4-159.9 g) and extensibility (11.8-16.7 mm) of IWs were higher than those of DWs (78.0-118.7 g, 8.7-12.5 mm, respectively).
