Characterization of wheat-flour-water doughs: a new method using ultrasound.

Ultrasonics

Published: March 2001

In this paper, an original method of evaluating the physical properties of wheat-flour-water systems using high-frequency low-power ultrasound is presented. Most of the experiments were performed with a reflectance technique measuring the acoustic impedance of doughs. The velocity of propagation, attenuation and viscoelastic moduli have been evaluated for both compressional and shear ultrasonic waves in the interval 2-10 MHz for doughs of different hydrations. The 53% water content was found to be critical with respect to the presence of free water. The influence of the mixing and rest times on the longitudinal ultrasonic parameters is also studied.

To enable its structural characterization by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, the native structure of cereal water-unextractable arabinoxylan (WU-AX) is typically disrupted by alkali or enzymatic treatments. Here, WU-AX in the wheat flour unextractable cell wall material (UCWM) containing 40.9% ± 1.

Background: Crispness is an important characteristic to be controlled in deep-fat fried products. The physical state of food polymers influences the development of cellular structure and textural qualities of fried food. Glassy state is believed to play an important role in the mechanical properties of low-moisture food.
