Abstract

A novel method for improving the quality of wheat flour, wherein the novelty resides in bringing the wheat flour into contact with a non-equilibrium plasma. 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.
