Chinese steamed bread (CSB) is one of the traditional staple foods of Chinese people, and its quality is mainly affected by wheat gluten and starch. Herein, four different ratios of wheat gluten and starch were selected to investigate its effects on the properties of CSB. It was observed that the surface of CSB gradually became darker, yellower, and shrank with increasing gluten-starch ratio. The hardness and chewiness of CSB decreased with the increasing of gluten-starch ratio, as well as the network structure of CSB was dense and porous. The increase of gluten content could effectively control the migration of water in the CSB. Moreover, with increasing gluten-starch ratio, the crystallinity of starch was reduced from 9.95% to 2.03%. As a result, the ratio of gluten-starch mainly affected the development of gluten network structure and starch gelatinization through the competition of water between gluten and starch in the system, which in turn affected the quality of CSB. Thus, it will provide the basis for the adaptability of wheat flour from different origins as the raw material of CSB processing, and also provide guidance for consumers to select flour with different gluten protein content to prepare steamed bread according to their preferences.

Stable isotopes are commonly utilized for the geographical origin verification of foods, including wheat. However, assessing processed products poses a greater challenge due to the alterations that take place during processing and which have not been fully elucidated yet. In the current study, the effects of the formulation (the mass ratios of gluten to starch), boiling process and their interaction on the stable hydrogen (δH) and oxygen (δO) isotopic ratios of wheat noodles were evaluated.

Understanding the interplay between gluten and wheat starch is crucial for elucidating the digestibility mechanism of gluten in wheat-based products. However, this mechanism remains under-investigated. This study sought to elucidate the influence of starch-induced protein structural modifications on gluten digestion.

To further understand the gluten-starch interactions in dough, this study investigated the effects of exogenous starch on the structural-thermal properties of gluten via reconstituting Xinong 836 starch with gluten from near-isogenic lines HMW-D1a (Dy12) and HMW-D1p (Dx2 + Dy12) according to the following proportions (gluten/starch): 9/91 (G09), 12/88 (G12), 15/85 (G15), and two controls, where G00 and G01 represent the original and self-reconstituted flours, respectively. Adding exogenous starch significantly improved the dough strength for the reconstituted flours containing gluten from HMW-D1a and HMW-D1p, especially those with HMW-D1a. When the ratios of gluten to starch were 15/85 and 12/88 in the HMW-D1a and HMW-D1p reconstituted flours, respectively, the concentrations of free sulfhydryl groups were minimized in the flour, and thus more glutenin polymers were formed.

Xylanase inhibitor proteins (XIPs) were regarded to inhibit the activity of xylanases during baking and gluten-starch separation processes. To avoid the inhibition to xylanases, it is necessary to define the conditions under which the inhibition takes place. In this study, we cloned the XIP gene from 2 different variety of Triticum aestivum, that is, Zhengmai 9023 and Zhengmai 366, and investigated the properties of XIP protein expressed by Pichia pastoris.
