Characterization of thermomechanical properties in starch and cereal products

Abstract

Thermomechanical properties of bread components can be used to characterize various events that have direct rheological impacts. The objective is to observe changes that occur during staling and toughening of a bread or similar products. In this article, characterization of bread polymers, starch and gluten, were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). © 1996 Akadémiai Kiadó.
