Project Length:
2 Years
Objectives:
To significantly improve farinograph absorption (FA) of CWRW wheat. FA is a standardized measure of flour water absorption and is one of the most important bread making quality determinants. The research focus is to evaluate the relationship between FA and pentosan content of CWRW wheat measured by a small scale screening test.
