The dough prepared from the wheat flour processed by this method exhibits an improved viscoelasticity, and the starch in this wheat flour shows a greater water holding capacity. Appearance and texture of the secondary products from this wheat are also improved remarkably.Field of SearchDIRECT APPLICATION OF ELECTRICAL OR WAVE ENERGY TO FOOD MATERIALInvolving wave energy of the sonic or pulsating type Heating by electromagnetic wave Product dry in final form Flour or meal type APPLICATION OF A GAS, MIST, SMOKE OR VAPOR TO A FOOD MATERIAL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ELECTRICAL OR WAVE ENERGY | |
