FREMGANGSMAATE FOR AA FORBEDRE KVALITETEN AV HVETEMEL

摘要

PURPOSE:To improve the qualities of wheat flour (e.g. visco-elasticity, water- retainability, secondary processability, etc.) efficiently in a short time, without causing food hygienic problems, by treating wheat flour with nonequilibrium plasma. CONSTITUTION:Wheat flour is put into a cold plasma generating apparatus, which is evacuated and then filled with a gas such as air. After exhausting the gas from the apparatus to a vacuum of = about 20Torr, the wheat flour is brought into contact with nonequilibrium plasma generated in the apparatus by the irradiation of high-frequency radiation for about 10min.
