Rheological Properties of Water-Extracted Air-Classified Spring Wheat Flours.

Four flours milled from two spring wheat varieties (Selkirk and Justin), and at two protein levels were air- classified into three fractions. The air-classified flours were extracted at 10:1 water-to-flour ratio (v./w.) The "initial water-solubles" (IWS) extracted at 10:1 ratio were further partitioned into two fractions with water by extracting the freeze-dried IWS at a ratio of 5.5:1 (v./w.). The residue of the second partitioning, designated as "precipitate" (P) fraction, contained constituents that reduced the mixing time of the extracted flour. The effect of P in reducing the mixing was similar regardless of origin of the flour, i.e., flours ground from different spring wheat varieties, or air-classified flour fractions from those flours. The quantity of material extracted, however, was dependent on the air-classified fraction and related to the physical and chemical characteristics of the flour.
