Abstract:In order to develop wheat flour with high resistant starch content and expand its application field, the technology of improving resistant starch content in wheat flour by ultrasonic-hydrothermal modification(Ultrasonic hydrothermal, UHT)was studied by screening test and optimization test, and the influence of the addition amount of UHT-WF on the powder quality, dough microstructure and rheological properties of premixed flour was analyzed. The results showed that the optimum preparation parameters of UHT-WF were as follows: wheat flour milk concentration 50 wt.%, ultrasonic time 29 min, ultrasonic power 300 W, ultrasonic temperature 40℃, hydrothermal time 5 h, hydrothermal temperature 90℃ and aging time 24 h. Under these conditions, The content of resistant starch in wheat flour increased from 7.64 wt.% to 23.93 wt.%. The peak area ratio of medium- and long-chain starches increases, while the gluten content decreases. With the increase of UHT-WF content, the farinograph index of dough decreased, the gluten holes became larger, the structure became loose, and the dynamic rheological properties showed a viscoelastic decline. UHT treatment effectively increased the content of resistant starch in wheat flour, and its dough characteristics changed in different degrees. When the UHT-WF addition exceeds 40 wt.%, it can be used as the main ingredient in flour products with lower gluten elasticity requirements, and can also be directly used as the raw material for staple food and non-staple food with high resistance starch, providing theoretical basis and technical support for developing flour products with low glycemic index.
