Abstract: | It is very important to test the rheological properties of w heat dough . T he main testing methods in-clude basic methods and empirical methods . The testing instruments mainly include the farinograph , the extensograph , the mixograph ,alveograph farinograph , the textensograph and so on . Flour water absorp-tion , dough formation time , dough stability , weakening degree and quality index of the powder were meas-ured . The main indicators of the extensograph are dough anti extensibility ,extensibility , tensile area , ten-sile ratio and so on . Mixograph mainly measure anti kneading , kneading , mixing time optimal resistance endurance , water absorption value estimation of baking . Weograph can get the information such as the toughness , extension and baking strength of dough . The test results of the parameters such as maximum tensile resistance , extension ratio , dough viscosity and dough strength can be obtained by the texture ana-lyzer . |
