Use of the farinograph in predicting baking quality of unchlorinated and chlorinated flours
1992
Conforti, F.D. | Johnson, J.M.
The viscoelastic properties of six Coker 916 flours with different protein contents were analyzed along with their baking properties. The wheat grain was grown under different amounts of nitrogen, which resulted in the variation of protein content. A portion of each flour sample was chlorinated, and comparisons were made between viscoelastic properties and baking quality. The farinograph was used to link the data derived from the flour analysis with baking quality. The stability, mixing tolerance index (MTI) and peak time (PT) correlated significantly with baking performance and were also good predictors when testing quality of chlorinated flour. Chlorination increased the absorbency of the flour, which contributed to a firmer crumb and a stable baked product.
